Hello everyone, I want the procedure done, but I still don't know what the steps are to get me started. I am already overweight, however I don't know what doc's to visit or anything. Can someone help guide me? thank you aleyba

My nephew had gatric bypass and has very wicked gas. He takes chlorophyl tablets; it helps. I was told that the band can irtate the linning of the stomach as the end of the port may rub against the stomach or other organs. How true is this? aleyba

I read about $8200.00 on their website. The way I understand it there is a counselor and anesthesiologist in house. You can get more information from their web site. www.dr.aceves.com ? Not sure but you can Google it. aleyba

Sharon. I'm glad evrything went well. I have a few questions for you if that's ok? Is the facility as nice as in the pictures? Is it clean and sanitary? I am leary because it's Mexico. Although I have heard good things I am a big chicken, especially when i will be asleep in a diferent country. aleyba :straight

Thank you all for welcoming me to the forum. Ambrosia, what a beautiful name. Is this yours? or is it a made up one? I cannot think of anything clever to use. annette

Hello, My name is Annette Leyba. I am from Midland, Texas and I was reading your messages. I feel for everyone of you. I seem to have alot in common with Kat the lady with the hypothyroid. I have had Hoshimotos now for 17 years. Yes, I started to gain weight and at first it was welcome. The first 10lbs. were good in all the right places. However I now weigh 260lbs. and I haven't grown any taller. I am 44 yrs. old a mother of 3 and I amvery depressed. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield through my employer and i was told the weight loss surgery is absolutley not covered. I also have Tricare Standard since my husband is retired military. I don't knowwhether it covers the surgery. I have many issues with my weight: high cholesterol, arhtritis, knee surgery and the other is not in good shape. I am probably not making sense, giving all this at once, but his is the first time I have heard people say how I feel. I feel very trapped. I don't know what to do to keep from not crying. Thank you for this forum annette
