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' date=' 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...[/quote']

Mine was done yesterday at international center of excellence which goes thru the same accreditation as COEs in the United States, one of the other ga

Congrats! That's what I keep hearing. Several years ago I had appendectomy surgery... Well one of the nurses tripped over an IV in my arm, damaging my vein. End result... Blood has to be taken out of my hand (kinda painful) and I can no longer donate blood. So US care is not as superb as we like to think.

Me too! I am having problems with my approval. my surgery was supposed to be monday and was denied to the point where I had to find a new doctor it was denied the Friday before! I can't sleep either! I found a new doctor on Friday and the nurse submitted my paper work at 9:15 am on monday so I am waiting this week for the approval and if I get it I get the surgery this monday! This is the most stressed I have ever been I am so nervous!

I love how your so positive about it...you've done all your research ...THAT'S ALWAYS GREAT! It sounds like its going to be a great idea. Lots of ppl have done it the same way you are about to do it. So it's out of the norm. People freak out when you think about going to another country to get it done because of course there are risk...but there's risk here in America.

I am in Michigan and I have Blue Care Network. I didn't 't think that I would find out so soon. Insurance is very funny I have a child with special needs and they won't cover things like special car seats and special seating for the house, so I was prepared for them to deny my surgery.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
