Spoke to the bariatric center today and they said all my test came back good that i am approved for the surgery. Appointment number 2 with the surgeon tomorrow which will go over some stuff and then i go next door to schedule my surgery and they will let me know how long of a liquid diet i will be on before the surgery and also i can buy the protein shakes there they said which i will buy a couple since i have no idea what they taste like. Then comes the very sad part... I start writing checks to pay for this surgery. I'm gonna cry watching nearly $18,000 come out of my checking account lol.

I’m sure transfer addiction can happen regardless of where and how you get gastric surgery. It’s only a tool that will only work long term if you’re prepared to do your part. I know of several people that have had the surgery and still look for ways around the restrictions.

Well my point was, she tried to get it here in the states, but they told her she'd have to go through therapy. She didn't want to face or work on her issues that led her to an eating disorder, so she found out that she could go to Mexico and get the surgery and they wouldn't ask about her mental health history. Here in the states, they at least make an attempt to screen for things like this.

yea so when i contacted endohospital in mexico when i had to wait over 2 months for my Psyc eval they said they dont do any kind of psyc exam. Simply the blood work, EKG, Xray and that is it.
