I am from Southern Illinois. I was wanting to have my surgery in Herrin but being self employed & no Ins. the private pay fee here is way more than I can afford so I am going Oct. 25 to Mexico to Dr.Lopez & Dr.Osana.

Im so excited to get this started but so nervous as well. Im worried that i might have too much scar tissue for them to perform this lap. Im hopeful though. I was could go to Herrin in town here but because i might be a more difficult case, i chose St Louis... had a co worker go there she loved it!

I'm close to you. I'm in Cape Girardeau MO. I've started the process with a doc in St Loius, and I really like him. But I would be self pay. My insurance is starting coverage next year, but only at the hospital I work at. I'm going to schedule an appt with the local doc, then make my decision.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
