Well I would like to stay in the US but it is looking slim on my chances. You all are making it much easier for me to got to Mexico, so thank you. I was hoping to do Kelly or Ponce but open to suggestions. Garcia, Alvarez, Aceves. As bad as I hate it, price is a factor. I'm looking to stay less than 6000 with safest physician and location with shortest stay safely possible.

I had aceves and it was an phenomenal experience. But he charges 8750. I know there have been people with all the doctors you've mentioned who have had positive experiences. Price should be a factor, but just don't make it the only one. Good luck!

No, you are absolutely correct. I just called Dr. Aceves and they are emailing me his info. But I am leaning towards Dr. Kelly at this point. I am hoping for an August date. I am applying for my passport next week. Thanks! :)

I did decide on Dr.Garcia, I will be at the Pueblo Amigo hotel, I have gone through Medical Tourism. Regene is my co-ordinator, she hs been great, however not located in TJ but a phone call away.

My driver called me today to confirm pick tomorrow. I am very excited.

I chose medical tourism because I decided to see a dentist during the same visit and Regene was able to get that done for me too.

I am going to pack now...very light and try to calm my nerves!!!

No need to sing Aceve's praises again, it's very easy to look around and see that he has glowing reviews. The sleeve is the best thing that has happened to me other than my kids. His facilities were cleaner than here in the US and I would pay DOUBLE or TRIPPLE that to go back to him. I have other friends who have went with surgeons in the US and they STILL aren't at their goal besides all of the complications they have had. Dr Aceves is the best in or out of the US

I love Dr.Garcia! The nurses were great! The hospital is small' date=' but very clean. The Marriott is a dream! lol LOVED having 6 pillows on my bed lol. The staff at the Marriott is also excellent. I will be 5 weeks post op tomorrow and have lost 24.4lbs. I only had a 5 day pre-op diet so that total is from my highest weight pre-op, Good luck with the surgeon you choose! You'll love being a loser! :D[/quote']

Shellbell, you said you had a 5 day preop diet. Was that including your 3 days of clear liquid? May I ask what your BMI was?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
