That's awesome! Are u paying out of pocket? What made u decide to go to MX for the surgery?

Totally out of pocket....my insurance will not pay for the surgery, unfortunately. But I am confident in my choice and am just ready to get it done and begin the journey.

I have Dr. Liao at GBMC, and have been scheduled for Dec.27! I just hate waiting to see if the insurance is going to approve me after everything I've had to do to get to this point! :wacko: Just wanna wish everyone good luck--I'm a newbie on here :)

It looks like I will be joining the Jan. sleevers club. I was going to have VSG on March 22, but it's looking more and more like I'm moving that date up to Jan. 17 (fingers crossed). I should know for sure within a week or so.

32 days til my surgery!!!!!

Hey, Andrea. Just wanted to say hi and let you know I am also getting sleeved at GBMC on Jan 29 with Dr. Moein. Feel free to send me a private message if you want to chat. Have you been to any of the GBMC support groups? I haven't yet.

Jan 4 is my date too. I'm 55 and been telling myself the same promises for too long. I'm ready but scared too. Mexico' date=' si![/quote']
