I hope she can have the bill sorted out so that she ends up being responsible just for the amount she expected to pay. What a frustrating ordeal.

If you were planning on having surgery at the same hospital I can definitely understand why you'd consider canceling. I had a really positive experience with Dr. Fernando Garcia in Tijuana in August of 2015, and am relieved that I wasn't burdened with bills from it. I paid $4200 up front, which included two nights in the clinic and two in the Marriott. My endocrinologist agreed in advance to provide follow-up care once I was back in LA. I had no complications, and exceeded my goals.

My two local surgeons quoted me cash prices of $18000 and $18500. I went to Bariatrix Florida and paid $8899. Insurance covered preop testing, and post op bloodwork. My PCP is on board with what the surgeon recommends and is thrilled with my success. I also considered Mexico, the costs were close, so I chose Florida over flying across the country.

      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?

      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

      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! 😞
