Long Term VSG Sleevers?
Jesser replied to nancytrevino's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Who in the world is doing it at this price? -
Over the years that I have been researching, I have read MANY terrible stories on this Dr.... not saying they were true, because I don't know. But it was enough for me to not want to go to him!
-
And the surgeon was not Dr. Garcia...

Jesser replied to Jesser's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Thanks for the suggestion! -
Well, I weigh about the same as you do and what a surgeon explained to me was that they are seeing significant weight loss with the sleeve alone without having to do the bypass. He said bypass is mainly for people that have larger amounts to lose. If we can get there with the sleeve then why get the bypass? See what I mean. He told me the sleeve was number one choice for me, but if I had diabetes then bypass would be for me. If you don't have any other health issues, I would go with the sleeve!

So what surgeon was it?? :/

Jerusalem Hospital Vs Obesity Control Center
Jesser posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
If you had your surgery performed at either one of these places, please voice your opinions. What did you like/dislike about it, were you satisfied with the care you received there? -

What part of Texas do you live in? I might be having a Sept surgery if I can come up with the money between now and then -
If you were not sleeved in Mexico and sent home did you get a refund?
Jesser replied to PrincessSleeve's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Here lately I have heard so many negative reviews on Mexico Bariatric and their coordinators. Of course I didn't use them so... I would just be cautious using this company. I kind of feel that if the doctor knew you had a low blood count before the surgery and allowed you to go on to TJ, then told you they couldn't do the surgery. That's not your fault. I think you should be entitled to some money back. -
I have an intense fear of complications from having this surgery. At times I feel certain that its what I want to do, but then I will read a surgery gone wrong story and think that will be me. Here lately I have been keeping myself up at night wondering if I am making the right decision, worrying about all the things that could go wrong. Is it really a gamble? Forgive me, I'm just petrified and almost have myself talked into trying another diet for the 100th time and not having the surgery. What did you do to calm your nerves? How did you get over the anxiety of possibly having a complication or even death?

Thanks everyone! I just need to do it. I can continue living my life this way and continue to be depressed or I can take the risk and lose the weight. I'm going to be a nervous wreck, but I know in my heart that I can't just diet and keep it off. My family gets mad when I say that like I'm being lazy and taking the easy way out they say. They just don't understand. It's not easy, it a constant struggle that I can't deal with any longer.

How to convince my dad that surgery in Mexico is not a scam?
Jesser replied to supbanana's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Illan is out of Florence hospital but you stay at Lucerna hotel- and I think so do Aceves patients but he actually does surgery in Mexicali. Dr. Garcia also works out of Florence but his patients stay at the Marriott hotel. -

What exactly causes a PE? Isn't it from a blood clot that you already may have then it travels to your lung after surgery? I'm worrying about this :/ how do we prevent it or is it just like Russian roulette?
