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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
