Is there anyone out there that has gone to MX from Alabama? Particularly from the birmingham area? I need to find a new PCP as the one I have is not supportive of my decision at all. Never even mentioned going to MX after she was so blunt about how she felt about it. So bummed.

GirlFriday, I'm not from AL, but I'm from Louisiana and I know what you mean. I told my niece and she's a nurse about the MX option and she was not in favor of it at all, without even listening to me make my case. Then, I thought most medical folks probably get annoyed when we go to MX because they know it's cheaper.

I'm in Huntsville and had surgery with Dr Ramos-Kelly in Tijuana in December 2011. My PCP is very supportive and it thrilled with my progress. If you are not getting support, there are other PCPs. Good luck with your journey.

Hi there! I had surgery at Stringfellow Memorial Hospital with Dr. Clifford Black of Anniston General Surgery Center in Calhoun Co, AL. I do not reccomend Stringfellow. Dr. Black and his staff are awesome, though.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
