Thank you so much! I have 5 months so far so almost there! Are you thinking about

I had orginally planned to pay cash with Dr Alveraz in Mexico. Ive done a ton of research and his reviews are AMAZING and so is his staff. A friend went to him in April. The cash price is only 8500. Then I found out that there was this Dr in Covington that accepts medicaid. Ive researched and researched and can't find hardly any patients at all that have used him for the sleeve, so Im a bit skeptical and nervous. I spoke with his nurse, Laurie and asked questions and she was a total bitch about my asking questions, like "how dare you ask questions" is how I felt. So, that did not ease my mind any at all. Cheryl was more helpful. Im not going to totally rule him out just yet, Ive asked for a consultation and being 4 hrs away could he do a phone conference. Of course rude Laurie says no, he generally doesnt do phone consults. Well, Im 4 hrs away, you'd think he could make an exception!?! I'll drive for it I guess if I have to. Then make my final decision.

Wow!! That doesn't sound good at all. I guess I'll call and see how that goes.
