My local Center of Excellence surgeon is apparently the **** around here. Even though my insurance doesn't cover any WLS, I still wanted to go. I listen to his spill about this and that. When asked about his leaks, he says he's only human. WHAT????!!!!!! Really.

Dr Illan and Mexico, here I come. For $4,000, no deposit, hospital, hotel, and the wonderful "Omar".

If it was an out patient procedure I would do it here because I prefer my home and my husbands care but for longer stay I by far got better and more attentive care in Mexico. My recent stay, there were 7 patients and 6 nurses or nurses aides, I was never waiting for anything. Push the call button and someone was immediately there. I'm not saying you can't or won't get care like that here but my experience was better there.

I am having my surgery done in Las Vegas from Dr Thomas Umbach. My surgery is out patient and I am kind of happy about that. I am not fond of hospitals. His self pay price was pretty good, too!

I would have to say that if someone else was paying for it, I'd rather recover in my own bed than a rented bed. Of course I would still research the hell out of anyone that's going to cut on me.

      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! 😞
