Have you looked into having surgery in Mexico? I believe I saw it advertised in this website at around $4500. I known several people that have gotten it done down there with very good results. Good bless.

Not sure if I should do this?

If the seatbelt fits...
Ale Nunez replied to fatgirlsvelte's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Congrats!!! I travel a lot too because of work, the arm rest not going all the way down makes me feel like crap -
I'm sure you'll get there, it's very doable. A friend of mine got the Gastric Sleeve and lost 100 lbs in 7 months. She looks fantastic.

Yes, and now they have me on standby because my insurance still has me under 'medical review'. They gave me a tentative date for this Thursday but it won't happen unless my insurance approves by Wednesday. And I'm still doing the liquid diet.

Good for you! Yeah!I was supposed to be at the end of July but now it looks like end of August. Wish it was tomorrow. .. Good luck! Keep us informed! Sent from my SM-T320 using the BariatricPal App I was supposed to have surgery tomorrow and was just told that there were some issues with my insurance and it may not happen tomorrow after all.

Best of luck !! Please come back and keep us informed.

Depression and pre-op
Ale Nunez replied to HeavenlyGirl101's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been on the liquid diet for 13 days, the first 4 were the worse, after that it becomes much easier. Drink plenty of Water, it helps with the headaches. Trust me, by day 5-6 you won't even feel hungry anymore. Good luck! -
Congratulations!! My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and as of yesterday my insurance hadn't approved it yet. I'm hopeful it'll happen today otherwise I'll be rescheduled for next week and another week of liquid diet :/

Spouse unable to deal with changes
Ale Nunez replied to hbrhonda's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I wouldn't worry too much. Its adjusting time for you and him, I'd say its just a matter of finding common ground. I haven't had surgery YET but I've already told my husband that when we go out I plan to eat off his plate and he's ok with that. Good luck! -

Pre Op Liquid Diet -- Feeling very weak :(
Ale Nunez posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I'm currently on Day 8 of my 14 day pre op liquid diet. I had been feeling decent until this morning, I woke up with no energy at all. I mean, I feel like I can't even pick up my arms and I get tired just by walking to the restroom. I have an 18 months old toddler so it isn't easy at all to be chasing after him. How did you guys cope or are coping with this? Is it normal? -
LMAO Thanks for the laugh.

Which to do....
Ale Nunez replied to Corey A Duplantis's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I chose the sleeve because the weight loss isn't as fast as it is with the bypass. I guess I fear what will my body look like after I lose the weight and I prefer to lose 1 pound at a time. Before the GI cleared me for surgery he said that if I had reflux then my only choice would be the bypass. Have you talked to your surgeon about it? -
My surgeon said that the 1st week after surgery I can only have Clear liquids and to not try to over do it. broth could be a great choice. God bless.

I think I need a good kick in the a$$...

Your story is amazing, I wish I can be as successful as you. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out a way out of your current status. Good luck and God bless! -
Conflicted- Holding off Surgery for work?
Ale Nunez replied to sassysleeved's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would say don't delay the surgery but I don't know how the situation is at work. I applied for another position at my place of employment and I'm waiting for an answer .... I haven't told them that I plan to have surgery but I don't even know for sure whether I'm getting the job or not ... God bless! -
Pre Op Liquid Diet -- Feeling very weak :(
Ale Nunez replied to Ale Nunez's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks Kristen !! My diet allows only 5 Protein shakes per day, crystal light, decaff tea and the SF Jello and pops. They told me I could add chicken broth and I just did a quick run to go get some bc I'm at work. I'm seeing that other people are allowed more things which I think it's awesome. My dr said since they're affiliated with the Cleveland clinic they also follow their processes. -

Hey Guys... First Post!
Ale Nunez replied to BigNorm4Life's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wish you the best of luck!! I started the process in January and will be having surgery next week. It feels like it's been a long journey but I'm feeling very positive and anxious to start seeing results. -
Worried my surgeon may cancel my surgery due to pre op testing results.
Ale Nunez replied to Amurillo04's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't heard of that. Hopefully they won't.
