My surgery is Tuesday and I'm finally starting to get nervous. A friend of mine today told me that having this surgery is unnatural. What if he is right?

I have not told many people because I don't want to hear people tell me that sort of thing!! I am sorry you were told that. I think this is a very personal choice and we all make it for our self and what we need is support. Hang in there!!

Can I ask why a lot of you go to Mexico? Is it cheaper? Easier to get it done?

I am going to Mexico because my insurance does not cover weight loss surgery. To have it done here will be $20,000.00. I'm paying $4,500 in Mexico. The only thing that doesn't cover is my flight and that was only $177.00.

I'm not sure about every one else but for me it was the price. I tried going thru my insurance but my employer specifically opted to not cover anything to do with weight loss so I started researching places I could get it done here in the good old US of A and well the least expensive place I found that didn't involve me being a test patient was Las Vegas for 10400 so then I started looking into mexico and found out that most doctors out their have been doing the sleeve longer then most US doctors OR where trained out her in the US so they are just as good as a US doctor and most I found are only 4500-6500 and that's usually an out the door price including 1 night b4 surgery in a hotel 2 night at the hospital after surgery and 2 nights after your hospital stay in a hotel of course u still have to add airfare

Is it easier? Well it's the same process for both the Mexico place I'm getting it done at and the Las Vegas place. I guess as long as you show them the money you can get your sleeve, what I'm trying to say is you don't have to jump thru hoops and go to classes and what not just to see if your a candidate

Doubts are normal. You're going to make a huge change to your body. I have yet to meet anyone that has regretted making this choice, except for the less common cases of extreme complications. And even then, most people who had complications say they'd do it over again.

You will be just fine. Believe in your heart and your strength.

And good luck on Monday! You'll be in our thoughts.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
