Before I decided to go to Mexico. I went to bariatric solutions in greenville. The cash price was 12' date='500 for the sleeve. You have to go to the classes before surgery and buy there preop shakes and stuff. Classes are included in the price I think. I paid 4700 plus airfare to Mexico but that might be an option for you. I was a little freaked out at the thought at first but honestly think I got better care there than I would have here. I wish insurance would get on board more with weightloss surgeries.[/quote']

Are you down 25 including pre-op diet or just since surgery?

I have heard good things about dr. Alvarez. You will have a good experience. Just remember to walk walk walk and that everyday gets better. I didn't have much pain. The trip was not bad either. The hotels are nice. It's almost like a vacation. When is your surgery scheduled ??

Hey fellow Carolinians :) I'm from Lexington, SC :) I just had my sleeve done on November 9th, 2015 by Dr. Givens with Riverside Surgical Group. So glad to find this site!

      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! 😞
