I sent Susan an email yesterday' date=' so I can arrange to send my deposit off. I was planning to Western Union wire it to them....then found out it was going to cost me an extra 100 fee to Western Union!!!

Anyone that has had their surgery: How did you do your down payment? I don't want to ask a dumb question, but they said I could do a bank check, money order, or wire transfer. If I do the bank check (which will be free from my bank to get), how is it getting to them??? Like I said, I know it is a dumb question, but am I seriously mailing this thing to Mexico? I just want to make sure they get my 1000 with No Issues! :-)[/quote']

I mailed mine, being in Texas, it only took two days to get there and it was fine, the bank is in eagle pass. Glad to hear u got financed. I got approved but they denied me because he doesn't have a US medical license, really weird... Lol so I paid cash

I think the mailing address is in Eagle Pass, TX, so mailing it is not a problem. There happened to be a bank branch in my town, so I was able to deposit a check directly into their account. I brought a cashier's check for the balance. You will not regret your decision to go with Dr. A. The whole experience was AMAZING! Less than a week after my surgery, my mom fell off of a chair and broker her shoulder. We went to the hospital in town (Houston area) and I was APPALLED at the treatment there for my mom. It's a long story, but needless to say Dr. A spoiled me to good service in a hospital. U.S. hospitals and doctors need to take a lesson from Dr. A and his Mexican hospital!

Thank you!!! I will call Susan in a bit and call my bank to the do the transfer. Definitely seems the easiest, being in CT. Thanks again ladies! Hope your both feeling Awesome!! :-)

Sweetsusie: Did you use the financing thru their site? When I talked to the guy on the phone he asked me where the surgery would take place.....I have to be honest with you....I played dumb and told him I wasn't sure, and that I had to fly into San Antonio and drive to Eagle Pass. Never brought up Mexico. So they probably would have denied it.

That's weird because I did apply through their site and when they found out he's a surgeon in mx they denied me the 5000 that I was originally approved for.

I have to finish the whole process on 9/8. Did you fill out all the paperwork? I haven't seen all of it yet. So, who knows, once I complete it, they may end up denying the whole thing. The didn't ask me about the surgeon. I figured that was included in his provider number that got submitted with the application. I suppose I could do a personal loan from my bank...I just don't want to deplete my savings.

I did fill out all the paperwork then they denied me. They will have to know he is in Mexico and not the USA. He also has to sign off on the paperwork so they will find out. Maybe u should call them and tell them before it's too late ? Just tell them ur story . After the first fail I tried the other company on his site and samething ended up happening so I saved my money and paid cash. I wish u the best. Anything I can help with let me know.

Hello everyone. Had surgery yesterday 8/31 with Dr Alverez. Everything has been very smooth and him and staff have been great. No nausea at which I am very thankful for. I think I

Am having little spasms or could be gas pains not sure wich with my stomach occasionally. Very impressed for this being my first surgey in my life how easy this has been. I was one of those those that was sceptical during my intuial search for a dr in Mexico. My mom was so bedide herself and worried that something was going to go wrong and was coming back with missing organs. lol. I would recommend 110% for anyone considering a Dr in Mexico.

I found another medical finance lender yesterday, that specifies international surgeries with Mexico bariatric on the list. I should hear back from them today. Surgery is in just over 1 month so I want to make sure everything's all set.

I was sleeved by Dr. A on 8/02...one month tomorrow. I am so very glad that I went to MX and had him for my surgeon. I had very little pain, no nausea and my incisions look perfect! You won't be sorry, even if you have to save and pay cash. I have zero regrets!

You have nothing to worry about trust me. I wasn't really scared or worried, just didn't know what to expect. At times when I am still it almost doesn't even feel like I have had surgery. I

Have not regrets just excited to move forward from this point.

I did a search for Medical financing Mexico:

The one I chose was MedToGo international medical financing. I am still waiting to hear back, and their application was a lot more involved than the one from the Endobariatric site.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
