I lost 90 pounds on my own about 4 years ago and still have 70 to go. My Doctor denied my request for gastric sleeve and I'm looking into going to Mexico for it.

Any suggestions for choosing a Dr would be great. I have researched Ponce and Altimarano.

Please advise! I'm worried about Medical Tourism but would like actual testimonials!

Thanks!!

Hi Madeira, if you haven't found it yet, there is a specific sub-forum here for self-pay and Mexico gastric sleeve surgery. You might want to post there, as well as reading the many posts from others who have traveled to Mexico for surgery. Good luck!

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

      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?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
