whats the dr. information? so i can contact him.

whats dr.garcias info so i can contact him. i am pretty sure he is the right doctor for me!

this is such great information. thanks you guys. its makes things a lot easier knowing that people that already had there surgerys in mexico.

where is dr.garcia located and how much is the surgery.

so, i def ant to know whats the pros and cons to going to mexico for the sleeve. Who where your doctors? who is the best doctor to go to? How much did it coast you? How far into mexico did yall go? and can i see some websites? tell me a little bit about it. I juxt feel like its more dangerous thsn going to america.

I am a 21yrs old and I have been struggling with my weight since I was in elementary. Since I was young enough to take medication for adhd I have. And in the 5th grade my mom took me off the medication. I was very skinny up until then. That summer I gained at least 50lbs. About 4 years ago I lost 90 lbs, but I did it in the worst way possible. I was 220lbs. I gained most of that back, of coarse. I am now 211 and I am thinking about getting the surgery done. I am not sure if my age has an effect on this or not. I really wish it didn't but I'm not sure. I have a bmi of 37.2 but no blood pressure or diabetes that I know of. I'm not sure when the last time I got checked was. I am under a health insurance called Unitedhealth care. Does anyone know if they cover this surgery, and if they do what the exceptions have to be in order for them to cover it? Please help me!

im kinda scared to go to mexico. im not sure i would come back! plus 15,000 isnt that bad. where is the surgeon at in texas that charges 12,00?

i meant 50% when i called the health insurance.

my health insurance said they cover 15% but the doctors said they cover only 10,000$ worth. idkkkk

the doctor ais it was only going to be 15500 at the most so that doesnt sound like a lot to me!? how much are yall paying?

ok ill def make sure to do that! thanks sooo much!

yeah. what if the doctor i talked to talks to the insurance?

So, my friend said that even though her insurance said she had to be 40bmi or 35 with 2 problems. she wasn't. she said she convinced the insurance compny to approve her. i have united health care. does anyone think this is actually possible? My bmi is 37.2

this website is so helpful. im so glad i found this. never thought i would jnow this much about the before and after surgery.

when i lost weight i was small. i was 135 so going from skinny back to fat and finding out im concidered obese was def an eye opener and the fact the i have been obese before my weight loss. being that small changed me. and i have changed so drastically sense i gained it all back.

im def getting this done if im approved! already spent a lot of time thinking about it.

what is heital hernia?

and where yall approved 100% or what % ?

mksy. thank yall so much! I have gone to great lengths to loose weight. and i may be young but i knew i was truly hayy when i lost a lot of weight. but i didnt do it the right way. i have always been active and worked out for at least 3 times a week but it never helped me loose weight. it would just keep my weight the same. and when i would stop is when i would gain tons of weight. and i still am gaining lots of weight. it has been worse and more rappid weight gain than i have ever had. i know i will be truly happy when i get this done. and trust me, im scared s***less. but from alk the research i have been dong i know its the right path for me!

so the pdf said i am in the zone but i need at least 1 problem.
