@@michelledom, I never heard of Baja med. There are so many to choose from. I chose Dr, Fernando Garcia Govea because I did a lot of research on him to find anything good or bad and only find positive things. His price is great also. I'm paying only $4250.00 plus $500 for my gallbladder to be removed. Next year I'm going to have a full hysterectomy at hospital Angeles in mexico.

How did you get that price? I was quoted twice that with him.....

@, wow! I wonder why they quoted you that high?? If you go on their website at www.Tijuana Bariatrics. Com they have the prices listed. I think you pay extra if your BMI is over 40 or 50 plus if you do single ins surgery you pay an extra $1000 dollars. My BMI is 33. $8500 is too high! Were you going to get the sleeve or bypass?

I would highly recommend Dr. Fernando Garcia. He did my surgery in October 2013, and it was a great experience, with zero complications and goal weigh reached in 10 months. My son just had surgery with Dr Garcia on Thursday and and I accompanied him as support person. Everything has gone seamlessly, and my son is doing so well! We were discharged to hotel yesterday and he was ready to go walking around neighborhood less than 48 hrs after surgery.

I'm going to TJ in May to have my lap band converted to the sleeve. I had the lap band surgery almost 4yrs ago and have had nothing but complications. Im using Dr Corvala. Has anyone else used him and what was your experience?

      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...

      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
