    I was going to go through Trish with Dr. Ponce de Leon but switched to A Lighter Me, Dr. Alejandro Lopez and his wife as my surgeon. Excellent reviews and slightly less expensive. I plan to go on March 11th while I am on Spring Break from school.

    I'm a self payer going to Mexico. A lil scary but my research has come back positive. It may be worth looking into? Amanda Rae

    If he hasn't been with you for a long time then shopping around may be a good idea. Your support system should include your PCP. But don't discount their advice simply because you don't like what you're hearing... Just my 2 cents. Keep the change! Amanda Rae

    Tough call. Surgery is a big deal but having it young should mean better results and speedier recovery. Better chance to lick the comorbidities... My doc is super supportive but insurance excludes it. I'm going to Mexico to do mine. Amanda Rae

    Paying For Surgery

    Saving and 401K. I figure what better way to invest in my retirement is to be alive and healthy when I retire? Amanda Rae

    I worry there will be casualties. I hope not but it is very possible.

    Trying To Drop 50 B4 Mexico

    AmandaRaeLeo replied to AmandaRaeLeo's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    I'm going to do some hard core grocery shopping this weekend. Then I will start an organ total body cleanse. Once I get the all clear from my doc regarding my sprained ankle I will get back to walking. Any Multivitamin suggestions out there?

    Good morning, I am a brand new newbie and a self payer going to Mexico. I have it narrowed down to two surgeons. Anyone out there have an experiences to share to help me decide. Unfortunatly this will be a lonely experience for me as my support group does not support my decision. Looking to sleeve in March while on Spring Break from college. I am a full time wife, mother, employee, and student!!! Amanda Rae

    Idk. I will play it by ear. Fortunately I have a desk job. I was able to return to work a week after laproscopic gall bladder surgery... Amanda Rae

    I am a full time student among full time everything else. I will be on Spring Break then. I cannot afford to miss school... Especially since I have to pay for it! Lol! Amanda Rae

    I am planning my sleeve for 3/11/13 in TJ. Getting some negative vibes from my biggest support systems. Spouse. Parents. BFF. They're treating me like I'm taking a shortcut! Like major surgery in Mexico is a shortcut?!?! I can imagine to feedback post op... It does get to me. Amanda Rae

    So I am 95% sure I'm going with dr. Ponce de leon. I am planning my sleeving for 3/11/13. I want to try and drop 30-50 lbs 1st. Excited and anxious!! My mom has changed her mind and plans to accompany me. She still isn't a believer but she doesn't want me alone. Amanda Rae
  23. AmandaRaeLeo
    I'm leaning towards Dr Ponce De Leon. The reviews I have read are great. I've talked with, texted, and emailed with Trish. I am feeling more confident with my choice each day. I'd like to do it sooner...
