So, since I've had to cancel my surgery I've been depressed... Even more so than what I was before. I felt like I finally found a solution to help me with my problem, and I had to just give up on that all together. I've been thinking of any way possible to come up with the money. But I do have good news! My income tax may be more than what I anticipated! :) if so, I still may not be able to go in March, but maybe in a few more months!! I hope...

Everything will work out for you...I am in the same predicament that you are in and I'm just saving and trying to stay positive. I talked to alma last week from r4ac and she said at this time they are not in house financing but to contact her within 30 days to see if everything goes thru...So I will keep my fingers crossed with that but if not at least I know that I eventually will get to Mexico....

Have either one of you looked into a less expensive surgeon? Not sure what the cost is of the dr of your choice, but just a thought

I agree with u. I originally was going with Dr. Lopez but the Dr I ended up going with is $750 cheaper n doesn't require a deposit. Dr. Illan $4000!!!

@zoriahdiana5. Can you give me more info on Dr. Illan and a phone number? And also do they use a coordinator? Thats a big price difference!

info@bajabariatrics.com yes he uses a coordinator. His name is Omar and was Dr. Kelly's old one.

Sorry just,seeing ur message. By GAmom is right. N yes, that is a big price change. I couldn't be happier with my choice. I'm so glad I never gave a deposit else where.

I did I went from Dr. Ponce to Dr. Garcia...Things happen for a reason...This is how it is in life and some things just have to be on "pause" for a minute....I'll get to Mexico before this year is over...I never made any deposits because I want ALL the money I need before I make a date...so it is what is....staying positive!!!!

I'm leaving on the 18th having surgery on the 19th with Dr. Illan. I changed to him as well. Coordinator is awesome n so is Dr. Illan. We stay n constant contact, I had a meeting on Skype with Dr. Illan courtesy of Omar my coordinator. When searching for a Dr., No other coordinator offered me that. It's a group of us ladies that r all going n we're all awesome!! Lol. We have our own lil page on FB that we stay in contact on too.

      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.

      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! 😞
