NerdInOregon,

Thank You, that is more great Information. I think I remember my BMI being 53.7 :huh: I will most likely try and come up with the extra because I know I cannot lose it on my own without the surgery.

 

BellaItaliania,

I don't think they mind us sharing the information...It's free advertisment for the Surgeons. Thank You soooooo much for the numbers. I will save those :)

Oh okay, good. Nina is very responsive to email. The first time I emailed for information, she got back to me in 45 minutes and it was a Sunday evening! Good luck with your search. In about 19 days, I'll be able to give you a first-hand account. Yikes! :-)

My bad. They didn't pay for my hotel in San Diego' date=' though I see why you read it that way. I just went down a day before Ernesto's pick-up because I didn't like my flight options Monday morning.

 

I booked directly with Nina. I don't think I ever called, I did everything via email. I emailed from his website, which I believe is www.mexicalibariatric.com .

 

I think he does charge more for a high BMI. I think there was an extra 500 charge but is have to look at my paperwork. I was a 50.1 BMI when I first inquired but lost 35 pounds before surgery.[/quote']

 

I had a high bmi with no extra charge. I think. I financed it so my overall expense is more.

      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! 😞
