bariatric pal and its doctors

I'm new here, I'm still a young lady who's been overweight since I was.. Mmm, I think 4, ALL MY LIFE, I 've been going through diets like forever, most of my friends are in shape and it feels horrible to be the OBESE one, I hate taking pictures with them, going to the beach, I hate being fat, I can't stand it any more. One really good friend of my mom, she's older than me, had the gastric sleeve surgery, I never knew till I saw her a couple of weeks ago, she looks amazing, I want to get it done too, I asked my mom to ask her about it, well, I already talked to her, she explained almost everything, she went to Mexico with Bariatric pal, well, I signed in right away, I see that they have a couple of doctors they advertise, but I need to hear from patients who have used them or if there's more good surgeons out here that you can recommend. I know I first have to speak with my prime doctor, but I want to bring him more info about this.

I totally feel you, and you are pretty young and really beautiful, I'm happy that you finally decide to do something about yourself, healthy life is the way to go if you want to REALLY enjoy life and not only food and things that you are able to do being overweight... you deserve better than that, and don't blame yourself for being like this or no one else, just focus on this new future that you want to live. I also chose Bariatric pal as my coordinators and Dr. j. Lopez as my doctor, I also have my nutritionist and a whole team taking care of me... they really help me through all the journey, from the moment I decided that I wanted this till nowadays, I still Skype with them, especially my dietician, it's not easy going by yourself, sometimes you have new questions everyday and who better to answer them that your medical team, then the price that you pay is really fare, since they include you everything in it.. just have to bring money for tips and food which you will consume very little at their recovery house. Well, pretty young lady, I had a great experience, and after you do your research I hope you have your own success story, I wish you the best.

I didn't go through BariatricPal to book my surgery, but I did use the forums extensively when researching surgeons. I ultimately chose Dr. Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center, but there are MANY excellent surgeons both affiliated and unaffiliated with BariatricPal. I highly recommend reading through threads on these forums and doing your research.

I love dr. Nicholson in Plano
