Lower BMI

[brittbritt25 13]

Hi Mama' date='

I am looking at Mexico because of the price difference. I can do it for 10,400 here in Las Vegas, NV (cash price Dr. Umbach). But now I am looking at half the price with Dr. Ortiz or even Dr. Ponce Deleon. I am starting to have more of a comfort level as I hear the experiences of other Mexico patients.

I am not worried about complications, but I hear that there is a doctor here that will see you if you had your surgery in Mexico. Otherwise I would be at the mercy of the emergency room. I like that the doctors in Mexico test you for leaks, but they don't do that here. I also byou ve that if you have it done in Mexico, you must be diligent with the post op diet, because if you are not, that is when problems can happen.

I am so excited that you are doing so well. That is such great progress. I am going to be diligent and I am looking forward to great results as well. Thank you so much for sharing and please stay in touch. I will post when I get my surgery date...WooHoo, I can't wait!![/quote']

I have a BMI of 31 & had my surgery march 6th in Tijuana. (8 days post op) my goal weight loss is 62lbs. I'm 5'8.5" & was 212. I've already lost 7lbs including my 3 days preop. They had me not do the per op diet other than the Clear Liquids for 3 days w/ the low BMI. I have a feeling my weight loss will be slower than someone w/ a high BMI but I'm still expecting it to come off. I did have the fear of too much weight loss but I really feel once I get to a certain weight it'll level out.

I am between 33 andand 34 BMI and I would love to follow you and hear about your progress.

What doctor did you chose in Mexico? I would also like to know how much you have lost in the last 2 weeks and with your preop diet as well.

I am looking at Dr. Ariel Ortiz out of OCC in Tijuana.

Can't wait to hear about your journey so far.
