I went surgery shopping because I am a self pay. Cheapest and best deal overall was Mexico, Dr. Ortiz. Husband was concerned about recourse if anything happened ( I doubt it ) and the doctor being in another country ( not my issue ) so we met in the middle and I went with Dr. Kirshenbaum in Denver. My surgery is in 18 days. My reservations are made and even with car rental and hotel and flight, I'm still saving money. Locally, I was quoted $15K to $20K.

I went to mexico for my surgery and had no problem finding a aftercare Dr. My Dr. gave me a list of Dr's to call the first one I talked with said no problem. Yes you do have to fly back to Mx for your fills but for me it was still less expensive. If you book like 14 days ahead flight cost is like $200. rt from Spokane to San Diego for me, check your flight costs and compare. Dr. picks up at airport does fill w/ flouro and takes you back to airport. all in one day.

Go to Dr. Curry. I have free fills and can fly back to Mexico for 250.00 bucks but I drive 5 hours each way to see him and it's 150.00 for fills. It's well well worth the drive. He has such wonderful bedside manner, very skilled at bands, fills, and bypass surgery and is a sweetheart as well. I highly recommend him.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
