Gastric Sleeve At Obesity Control Clinic Mexico
serenity1959 replied to Flower girl's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I am being sleeved in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves on August 5th. If I had it done it town, it would cost me 20K. My surgery in Mexico will cost 8750, plus plane fare. And, I will be in the hospital three days, not one and will have three leak tests. -
There has got to be a better way
serenity1959 replied to tomato pie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you tried the Chike chocolate? I LOVE that one -- can drink it made with water and ice only. Also, try drinking them from something like a Tervis tumbler with a top on it. -

Dr. Kelly as a back up plan...but what do I do when i get back?
serenity1959 replied to Dualstarr's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I have not had my surgery yet, but my insurance absolutely excludes anything related to my weight loss surgery. I am going to purchase complication insurance. -
Perfectly normal, from what I have been reading. Oh, the joys my DH has to look forward to in August!

Protein powders/ shakes...looking for suggestions/ ideas please
serenity1959 replied to oopsydaisy77's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I like most I have tried, too, which consist of: Chike, Matrix, Syntrax Nectar and Unjury (chocolate only so far for this one). My DD did say that the Blue Sky Nectar was yucky unless you doctor it up with berries and yogurt. -

How long do you plan to be out for surgery? -
Newbie here, how did you all pay for surgery? Finance?
serenity1959 replied to jenjer007's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
We got a home equity loan since the house has to have foundation work and a new roof, so I added in what I needed for my surgery, too. -
5 days post op and am in pain!

Are you walking any? That helps with gas pain. -
Wow! That is wonderful progress.

Better ask your doctor. If you have to pick up small children, I would say four to six weeks.

Hello from a BBW in Tampa Bay
serenity1959 replied to Manderley's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It shows up but is shadow light. Try editing it and darkening the text color on the very light portion. -
You should have a deductible and out-of-pocket max. Call your insurance company and ask them. Wish my insurance covered it, but I will be self pay.

I told my boss I am having surgery on August 5th and will be out six weeks. Gave no explanation as to what I am having done.

Does your sleeve have a name?
serenity1959 replied to Indigo1991's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Shortdog, it's a girl thing. On that note, I haven't been sleeved yet but will probably name mine after I meet him or her... Gotta see if she is a cranky wench or laid back and easy to live with. -
In Ohio. Self pay or Mexico? Anyone self pay at Ohio State University Bariatric?
serenity1959 replied to chickadee73's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
What kind of Dr. are you looking at for aftercare? I don't see why a PCP wouldn't be willing to run the lab work on you at the recommended intervals. My gynecologist has agreed to do my aftercare. There is also complication insurance you can purchase through a company in Canada.
