January 30, 201313 yr UP...NERVOUS TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE :/ Haven't heard anything about my clearance paper work being ready to be submitted to my insurance. I have a weird sleeping pattern. I am a self pay and will be having surgery this coming Monday... I am excited! But it's hard to believe that this is about to happen. I keep thinking that something will happen, preventing me if having surgery.

I hope it goes through with flying colors. Unless your going through this I couldn't imagine anyone understanding the nervousness and excitement one feels. Good luck and I hope it goes well :-)

I don't think I would be able to sleep if I knew my surgery date was getting closer. Sooooo exciting ! I keep trying to calm my mind, but I can't. I think part of the reason is that I have always been bigger than others and eventually I found myself being obese. So to have this surgery which will help me get this weight off and become a normal weight again is mind boggling. But I am excited to start this next chapter of my life.

My insurance does offer the surgery, but my employer has a ridiculous stipulation that must occur before getting it... Being with the company for 5 years. So I am going to MX to have my surgery done for a fraction of the cost. Never thought I would be on that boat, but surprisingly some of the surgeons performs these procedure more than US doctors.

GO FOR IT. Have you researched the docs...the facilities and all before surgery ?
January 30, 201313 yr Oh wow. A lot of people are going to Mexico to get this done. GO FOR IT. Have you researched the docs...the facilities and all before surgery ? Lol... I think that's the response i get when I tell someone I am going to MX... Lol I know I know... Well at least he's not performing my procedure in his nasty garage, I payed for the couch hey hey. Only kidding. Yes, I have researched those things. Statistical information is great, but customer testimonies are way better. I am using a Doctor that many people on this forum uses, the hospital is small but surpasses that of a US hospital ( so ppl say), he does countless procedures and is certified to do so ( no black market), also the hotel I will be staying in when I get released from the hospital is a Marriott...
