Congrats on your journey! You have to do this for you. You can't worry about what others think. It is your life, live it.

I'm a newbie to the boards and I have my consultation for the sleeve in 2 days!

I agree with you completely. For me, I can't afford to risk being in that small percentage if I have to recourse. At least here in the US if I am in that unfortunate group that has issues I can sue and have whatever needs fixed, fixed. That's not the case if it happens anywhere else.

On bariatricpal. The main person who started the conversation is an administrator here and had been a coordinator and advocate for Mexico surgeries. She isn't anymore. Not to say that problems don't happen here in the US but at least here you have legal recourse and rights.

I was open to Mexico until last night reading stories of botched surgeries where the people are happy until 3 or 4 years out when they had major complications

I guess I'm not. Went to my consultation and I'm a great candidate for surgery. They are running a $3499 special (bill insurance for hiatal hernia) but was told my insurance wouldn't pay anything so I have to come up with $10,500. Not an option for us.

Scheduled to be sleeved JAN 21st with Clayton Frenzel

How did your surgery go? I have a consult with Dr Frenzel today -
Thanks everyone for the welcome. I agree that the sleeve is the best option! My sister had the sleeve about a year and a half ago and last she told me she was down over 110 pounds.

I live in Benbrook and I have a consultation scheduled for Thursday with Dr Frenzel in Arlington.

I live in Benbrook (outside Fort Worth) and am possibly going to get sleeved by Dr. Clayton Frenzel in Arlington. Does anyone know anything about him or have any experience with him?
