I started the process for wls over 3 years ago. Did 6 months nutritional counseling, 5 year weight history, preop tests, etc. After working my butt off to loose some weight and meet the requirements I was denied. My OB's office had erroneously made me 100 lbs lighter 3 years earlier. I had my OB write a letter, no luck in changing the denial. I lost 45 lbs in that 6 month period with the help of weight loss meds and exercise. I went in to a bit of a depression after the denial and of course gained the weight back plus some. I have always been overweight, though after having 3 children my weight was out of control. For the last 9 years I have weighed in the upper 200's to low 300. January of 2012 I started a workout routine and lost 55 lbs. I stalled for 4 months and then gave up, to regain it all once again. The biggest discouragement was that many did not notice my loss. I have come to the decision that I need the tool to help me along. I have researched the sleeve and feel it is the best fit. I aim to have surgery with dr.joya in Mexico. I do have many concerns but know it is my brain working overtime. I plan on paying my deposit by the end of the month. I would love any words of wisdom. Erin

I have yet to read any bad reviews on Dr. Joya. Have you heard anything concerning? What made you choose Kelly?

Yes I would at this point but I have different insurance now and WLS is not covered. And if i did have coverage I would wait 6 months.
