I think if you have insurance to cover the cost weight wise would be great, I started my journey with weight wise but my ins wouldn't cover it and I think you get nickeled and dimed, after more research ive decided to have my surgery done in Tijuana Mexico by Dr. Fernando Garica, total cost for me should be 4700.00 barring any complications.travel is my responsibility, they cover 3 nights at Marriott and 2 nights in the hospital and food,

Yes. I stayed at the Marriott. It was nice and very comfortable. It was also within walking distance to Wal Mart and the movie theater. I actually caught a cab to Wal Mart, because it was about a mile uphill, but the downhill walk back was not bad at all. I'd stay there again.

I stayed at the Marriott as well. It was very nice and a lot of employees spoke English.

I used Dr Keith in Norman at OWLO! He's wonderful!

Hi! I've been seeing Dr Keith since Dec 2012 and scheduled in 2weeks (8/28) to have my sleeve!! So far I've been very happy with the whole process, it's taken so long due to my insurance requirements.

I didn't have weight loss surgery with Dr. Keith but I had an emergency surgery 10 years ago and he pretty much saved me. He is a great doctor.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
