Hi everyone! I live on the west side of Houston' date=' Cypress to be exact. I am having surgery in Tijuana Mexico on March 23. I have insurance but after paying the deductible and co-pays I will come out cheaper going to Mexico. I just moved here in Sep. I am from Longview TX. I would love to meet people in the area who have had surgery or will be having it. We could just talk or we could meet to exercise before or after surgery. If anyone is interested let know and I will give you my phone number.

Thanks!![/quote']

Hi my name is amber i recently found out my insurance does not cover this. I was curious. When u do it in mexico do they offer payment plans as well or cash up front?

Amber' date=' I have United Healthcare. I had to go through 3 months of meeting their criteria but they paid for 80%. I went to Dr. Collier in Conroe. He is AWESOME! And they will walk you through the insurance nightmare.[/quote']

Unfortunately they told me my insurance has an exclusion on this :'(

Hi. I too live in the Houston area. I asked some sleevers if they wanted to get together about a month ago. Since I had to have rotator cuff surgery, was worse than thought. I'm healing fine. Just not what I had expected. Besides that I am moving. Not sure when it could be quick depending on the sale of my house. So if anyone was wondering I just got super busy and am sorry I didn't follow up.

Hope everyone is well and losing!

Can't remember if I wrote this or not but my surgery was at Memorial City hospital by Dr. Leiva. I love him. His office is on 290 near Huffmister.

How has your post op been.

It's been excellent. I had some complications and was very well cared for. Dr. Hollis went as far as giving me his personal cell phone to keep in contact after hours. He is a very caring physician with great bedside manner. His pa Beth is nice but doesn't think outside the box well. She is however very responsive and enthusiastic.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
