Hi guys my name is Chakana. I'm from Saint Lucia a.k.a the Caribbean ... And I am hmm 208 pounds *yes I'm thick-chum* and 5'6 *I know I know I'm pretty short* and considering gastric sleeve. My goal weight is 125 pounds. Im considering having the gastric sleeve surgery done probably August 2016. The reason why 2016 im in the process of moving to trinidad so im focused on getting accustomed to the environment in trinidas before i get the surgery done. The two doctors I have in mind are Dr Carlos Altamirano and Dr Jesus Lopez has anyone done your gastric sleeve journey with any of these doctors? The second thing I'm thinking about...is a payment plan like paying small deposits towards the gastric sleeve surgery in 2016 kinda like a Lay-a-way payment plan. Have any of you guys done this payment plan? And did you guys have it done with Dr Carlos or Dr Jesus? How much did you guys pay for your gastric sleeve?
