Nikkidoodlebug replied to slcmommy5's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Dr alverez in the quiet border of Eagel Pass Texas and negras padres mexico. He is so awesome!! He speaks very clear English has an American nurse that lives in San Antonio her name is susan. He has done thousands of surgerys including a 13 yr old girl!! Just look him up I think you'll be impressed. I thank you very much for giving your daughter this opportunity to live a healthy, happy, fulfilled teenage life, that so many of us never had the chance to have. You are doing the best for her and I pray for her and you're family!! I -

Dr clayton frenzel in Dallas is 12,500.00 with a 1,000 off discount till the end of the year so 11,500.00 and it covers everything plus he will give you a 1000 voucher to come back later to have any cosmetic surgery after your weight loss Good luck! Mexico is the next option -
I'm curious if they will do your surgery if you happen to start your period ?? I guess I should ask doc. But maybe it doesn't matter ?? Who knows. I'm a worry wort

Short didn't mean petite for me
Nikkidoodlebug replied to dsdunne's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Well hello DSdunne, I'm glad you shared that. I my self am a shorty at 5 feet tall and I weigh 170 lbs. so when I started telling people that I was thinking about the sleeve , they would say " you don't need that ,you're not big enough for that surgery" oh and how that runs over me like cold water! They don't know what it's like to be short and FAT! Nor have they ever seen me at the weight I should be, so who are they to tell us what we need. So I stopped telling people and went on my quest and now have my surgery for March 11. I feel you completely! We will show them, won't we. Good luck to you and to all the best health.

Thank you both, I am going to arlington tx to a dr clayton frenzel. He is very well known in that area and had a good cash pay price for me. He also does the whole process from beginning to end for his patients , like breast , tummy tucks, body lifts. Etc... I think I will need a boob lift later. Lol!! So I look forward to my journey. Good luck to you both. Missmeka86, & jperez89 -

I'm Surprised at some people's weight and still get surgery
Nikkidoodlebug replied to mentalistfan's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you all for being so understanding of us "lightweights" I myself am 5' tall and I weigh 170 lbs. Now with that being said, I should weigh 110 at my ideal weight. I am considerd obese! I have high blood pressure due to my weight, I have adult onset asthma, I have sleep apnea, and I am absolutely miserable! So yes I want to stop all of my bad health problems before they get any worse. I will be sleeved on March 11 2015. I can't wait! -
