    The reason I went to Mexico was financial reasons. Insurance would not cover anything. I had a great experience and have had 2 friends go to my doctor since I went. They also had the same great experi

Hi! Glad to finally find this thread! I'm in Tulsa, using St Johns, and am in the middle of my 6 month medically supervised diet. Should have surgery sometime in July or August. I

Thought it would take forever for the six months to go by, but its kinda flyin'! I'm so excited, nervous, scared, happy.... Lmao!!

Hi, KenneKat! I am all of those things too....some days I'm super excited and other days I'm super scared!!

Does anyone know if Dr Toby Broussard accepts United Healthcare? I was going to cash pay but now I have medical insurance so I'm thinking of going that route if I don't have a long wait.......

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. Hopefully, someone else can :)

Just wondering how everyone is coming along with their sleeve....

I have my last appt with my NUT on may 2nd. At that point everything *should* be ready to submit to insurance. They are thinking last week of may or first week of June for me. I am having surgery in Norman w/ Dr. Ronnie Keith.

I have finished all my pre-op testing, except for the endoscopy and they are thinking a July surgery. They can't submit for insurance approval until after my July 2nd appointment, so fingers crossed until then :)

My last NUT appt is end of June. I haven't heard anything about an endoscopy or sleep test. My insurance doesn't require them. So hopefully I will have surgery in July!

Good luck to you all... All the hurry up and wait is so worth it.

Lucky you, KenneKat...no sleep test. I hated that thing. I don't sleep well to begin with, but I slept worse than usual during that thing...of course I don't know how they expect anyone to sleep well during it, with all the wires hooked up to you :)

I am scheduled for May 7th with Dr. Garcia. He charges $5000, in Tijuana, he uses a full service hospital, this package includes one night in a hotel before the surgery, 2 days and nights in the hosptial (private room for and a guest), 2 more nights in a hotel after surgery. This also includes all tests, surgery, hosptial and no hidden fees.

You should go the same time I do :)

I am going May 22....Dr A. Lopez and Dr. Ortiz
