Please let me know which surgeons you guys have had success with.. I'm researching just in case my insurance decides to not approve last minute.. The nurses have told me not to worry, but I always like to be prepared!!! I'm getting this surgery done this year if its the last thing I do!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I have been doing the same thing. I still have till March but I want to have a backup plan just in case! So far I am looking at Dr ponce de leon or either Dr. Fernando Garcia. I pray that Insurance approves because to be honest the thought of going to Mexico scares me.

I know!!! The thought of going to Mexico scares me too.. so I'm praying for Medicaid to approve me with no issues!!!! ***Fingers Crossed***

I went to Piedras Negras, MX to Dr. Guillermo Alvarez, he is wonderful and my experience there was great. He is a wonderful surgeon and if you check reviews on ObesityHelp.com, he has great ones.

I too went to Mexico and had my surgery with Dr Alvarez on 8/31/12. He is a great surgeon!! Would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone considering going to Mexico to get sleeved.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
