Ugh even though I want to do this soooo bad! I'm to scared to follow through, specially with the lack of support. My date is march 25 but I'm seriously doubting ill make it to Mexico. Is just so scary for me

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?

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

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!!

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.
