Looking to find a buddy to go through this together [emoji3] I have my first appointment beginning of June and I have my nutrition classes complete. Also I'm 27 so someone around my age would be awesome [emoji16]

Hi! So how does that work in Cabo? Do you have to go to Cabo for your initial meetings, and then go back for the surgery?

No, I submitted an application where I entered all my medical information, and for me (since I have a lapband) I had to go have an endoscopy done and send them the results.. other than that you go down a day early to get blood work and everything done.. then have your surgery. They are pros over there. It's all they do. My friend who went were out of recovery within a few hours, start to finish.. back to work within a week. They have a coordinator that works with you VERY CLOSE, to guide you through the entire process, answer any question ect.... They were a bit more expensive than other places but for that standard of care it's worth it to me. My health isn't something I want to bargain with

O wow that's great recovery. Did you get the lapband in Cabo also? Why did you decide to switch. With research I've seen a lot of people switch from lap to sleeve.

My insurance company goes two years back for nutrition. Yours might also.

Ok that would be great if they did that, because I lost weight early last year but I unfortunately ended up regaining most of it [emoji20]

Where are you from?

Me. I have my first appointment in exactly one week [emoji4]. how many nutrition classes do you have to go to? My insurance only requires 2 months.
