STL sleeve scheduled 9/25

I live in St Charles, MO and I am going to Mexico for my sleeve because I am a self pay. I have great insurance but it doesn't cover anything weight related. I am so excited for this new journey to begin.

    Hi, I'm on the Illinois side of STL too. I originally started my journey with st Alexis a few years ago with dr Falwell. I had to go private pay and decided to go with Mercy in Washington, Mo ( about 10 k cheaper)

    I just wanted to say hi to my fellow saint loisians :). We do seem to be few.

    My dad had his at DePaul in July. He had dr morales. It is a very good program and he has gotten excellent care there. Maybe we will see you at the support meetings. Best of luck to you.
