Has anyone gone to Mexico, Tijuana to get the gastric balloon?
dallasreno replied to NPR's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
I looked into the baloon in MX and could not find anyone who did the procedure. Well, I did find one but was warned that they use outdated baloons. -
Seeking a good place for weight loss baloon or Spatz in Mexico. Can someone tell me about good places.

It is still too expensive in the US.

Looking for July Sleevers!
dallasreno replied to fearnot's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is tomorrow. I feel really weak and tired today. I think that is due to the liquid diet I have been on. I have to report to the hospital at 5:30am. Maybe it will happen before I am fully awake and have time to think about what I am doing. I am not very nervious yet. Hope I stay that way! -

I'm on my 4th day of a 5 day liquid diet. It has been hard but doable. I am down over 6 pounds. Yay! I am really tired and out of it this morning. Not looking forward to going to work. Just 2 more days till my surgery. I'm not really scared - yet. I figure it will hit me the night before. I am excited by the fact that I have lost so much weight and feel optomistic that I will be able to get down to my goal after surgery. -

Started my 5 day liquid diet today. Surgery is scheduled for the 23rd. Ate my last meal last night - rack of ribs and a cold stone ice cream. Things are getting serious. -

United Health Choice Plus -- Denial

I just got my approval. All they needed was a copy of my sleep apnea diagnosis. I am waiting to hear back from the Hospital to schedule the surgery. -

Did this ever get resolved? I'm going through the thing now. -
I have UHC Choice Plus as well. I was told I had to do 6mo dieting as well. I'm on my last month and am getting excited. Wayne

Hi, I am wondering about what happens with my GERD after I am sleeved. Right now it is under control with medication. I have read that some people end up getting a revision to a gastric bypass because there acid reflux gets worse after they are sleeved. I don't want to end up getting a revision and am wondering how prevalent this problem is. Should I just go with a gastic bypass so I don't have to worry about getting a revision? TIA. Dallas
