i've been researching the sleeve for well over a year and went back n forth trying to decide whether to go through my insurance or mexico. the main stigma some people are against mexico is becuz of the "what ifs" and uncertainty being in a foreign place vs the US yet people seem to forget the MANY malpractices that also happen right here in the US as well. With going through my insurance co i'd have to be more than just fat basically. i need to have a host of other complications which i dont. so to avoid the extra dance around n wait game of getting approved or not which would take well over 6-9 months i decided to take a chance and im scheduled for mexico april 25th. im SOOOO excited actually. traveling alone for me time!!
