Hi! Im in Delta and I went to Mexico on June 26th. 2 months out and 44 Pounds down! Best choice ever. No waiting in Mexico but insurance wouldn't pay here so self pay and couldn't afford it in Grand Junction. Husband did it too and he is down 45.

I am having my surgery on the 17th of this month with Dr. Snyder. I have visited with other docs in the area, and Dr. Snyder was the one for me! I have not heard one single negative comment anywhere about him. All glowing and positive reviews. He trains other doctors in the field. Good luck!

Dr. Snyder is amazing. The best surgeon IMHO. The thing that makes him so great is he doesn't just do surgery and then set you afloat on a crazy and confusing sea of post-op madness. He has classes. He has seminars (NOT just the ones you have to attend in order to see him personally, but seminars that are designed for post-ops.) He has grocery store trips, and tons and tons of support groups. Sadly with you being in GJ some of that might get lost on you, however they do have a phone support group that you can take part in. Love him, love his staff. Nothing but excellent IMO!

Congrats on being approved!!!!!!! That's so exciting! I'm in Denver and I met Dr. Snyder. I like him very much and I know several people who had their surgeries through him at Rose Medical Center. He would've done mine but he wanted $17,500 to do it. So off to Mexico I went for $4650! My insurance wouldn't cover it here. But you'll be in good hands with a great team.

I really need to get info on your support groups, I have had a tough time getting to mine in Parker and really miss them. It would be great to meet a few of you from Denver area. I'm in Aurora, surgery over 1 year ago.

I went to Dr. Elias Ortiz and Dr. Lopez also cared for me as well. I had a terrific time in TJ, MX! Everything about it was awesome and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. However, the flights were insane. Both of my flights were delayed by HOURS! Weather issues mostly and then one passenger had a medical issue. Other than that, it was fantastic! TY for asking!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
