Going to mexico!!

The crazy thing is, I have never even considered going for surgery.

But something in me changed. I think mostly i am just fed up.

I was paying cash for my surgery where i live. Not only is it 3 times the cost of going to Mexico,

But I also paid 2k out of pocket for testing. Then when I had a date, i was so excited and then got a call that

I needed to be rescheduled for a month later. I had worked my butt off to jump through every hoop (not insurance company hoops)

I was heart broken. So, after reading through hundreds of posts on here, my husband and i sat down and made a decision.....Mexico!

I got in touch with Dr.Kelly yesterday and by the end of the day I had a surgery date, flights, everything!

I feel so at peace with my decision.

So now I have questions.......What is the area like? Did people go with you? Did you like the hospital/hotel? Did you feel safe?

I can't help you with your questions. but just wanted to say good for you for taking charge of the situation and making the decision. I sometimes wish I could, but I have to wait out the insurance scheme.

My surgery is with Dr. Kelly tomorrow. They pick me up at 10 a.m. I'll post as much information as I can during the process.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
