I think maybe she was hoping someone here would say I feel so sorry for you a$1000 is standing in your way of getting surgery let me give it to you...

That was my exact thought when I read the OP. "This little brat is begging for money!" Made my blood boil. She clearly can't handle the heat so she'd better stay out of the oven. She is nowhere near ready for surgery.

Physicians abroad are likely more experienced in the balloon procedure because it has only been FDA approved in the US since august of 2015. Therefore, American physicians just haven't had the opportunity to do a lot of these. Having said that, who would provide your follow-ups, med refills or modifications if the surgeon was out of the country. Think twice.

I'm not sorry. I had a bit of stress and tension to work out and writing that post did the trick LOL. I've felt light and airy ever since =) Tra La La ...

I hate it when people delete their OPs. @@Alex Brecher Can we do something to stop that from happening??

And can you fix the Op's name, too? She left us an ugly little insult on her way out. THANKS!

Since inception, we've allowed members the ability to edit their posts for 28 days. I've changed this to 5 minutes.

Also, updated the OP's name.

Even a hour would be great, but when you don't like the responses? Nope.

Here another idea, @@Alex Brecher. FB allows you to edit your posts indefinitely. It also allows readers to read post edit history. Can you do that?

LOL LOL....that's a great idea. We don't have that ability at the moment but we will very shortly. We're updating/upgrading the site in the next few weeks and I'll add this feature to the list once that goes live. Thanks for the idea, I like!!

Unless she lies - which seems to be happening a lot based on some of the threads on here! <_<

One person has gone to a different practice to start over because they didn't "pass" her on the initial psych eval. She indicated she now knows how to answer the questions so it won't be an issue. Another said her psychiatrist and psychologist wouldn't do the eval because it was a conflict so she went to someone else - and didn't bother mention she'd been suicidal in the past (not to mention bat shit crazy based on her posts) because "they didn't need to know".

I don't really know who they think they're hurting besides themselves. I'm somewhat "normal" and asked for additional therapy/counseling for emotional eating.

The surgeons have MORE experience??

Hi allyrenee11,

Have you considered surgery in Tijuana Mexico?

The cost is lower and the surgeons have more experience.

http://teammx.bariatricpal.com/pricing/

Please contact me if you are interested.

Just because one reads a statement on the internet does NOT mean that it is true or factual.

PLEASE research, research and then research if considering going outside the USA for bariatric surgery--or any surgery.

More experienced???? REALLY????? SMH, SMH, SHM.

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR---ALL OF US.

Well he would know as he is a coordinator for BP Mexico. And yes the number of surgeries they have performed is often time much greater than surgeons elsewhere. So yes HIS statement is true and factual!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
