    I was going to use the same doctor until I found out my insurance does not cover any bariateic surgary. Now I decided to go to Tijuana Mexico and get it done by Dr. Elisa Ortiz since I'm a self pay. It would have been $15,000 here and it's $4,200 there.

    Hi! I'm Shannon. I'm living in Tupelo but am from Bham and visit frequently. My sleeve was created three weeks ago and I'm doing great!! If you would like to swap phone numbers, personal message me and then you can text me anytime. We could even try to get together next time I'm in town if you'd like. I was a nervous wreck before my surgery but could not be more pleased with the outcome. Best of luck!!!
