  1. I've seen the sleeve anywhere from 3000 to 4500 the gastric bypass anywhere from 4400 to 6000 Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App
  2. I can find very limited information on him he does have a few happy clients who received the sleeve but I wanted to know if anyone has had our and why I wanted to know what people have to say about him I'm a little concerned that there isn't a lot of information the reason I'm considering him as they offer financing interest free without a credit check for part of the procedure they may charge a little more than some of the others butts not having to pay the full amount is helpful. Any accurate information that you can provide me about this dr. In this facility is appreciated as you know with doctors in Mexico it could mean the difference between life and death. thank you Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

    Food Comfort

    Of course a dog is a sin to you it is your friend it is your companion in some cases they sleep with you they eat with you they're always happy to see you 100% loving and accepting and happy to be with you all the time how could you not have strong feelings for your Companion Pet it is perfectly normal it is like losing a loved one you will probably go through the seven stages of grief it is better to feel the pain and experience them to stuff it believe me I know I speak from experience I lost my son Which is far more difficult than losing a pet you as you can imagine let me know how it goes not having food to cope with emotion I think that is my biggest fear that I will handle that psychologically I think that will make it necessary to experience feelings and I'm not sure how I will do with that since I've been stuffing them for so long I've not yet had surgery good luck in all your endeavors Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

  5. Is there anyone else here that is going to go to Mexico for their procedure? I was told I might be a candidate for the sleeve I'm not really sure. I have some problems with GERD. in that case they usually want you to get the mini gastric bypass .the thing is they don't use that procedure in the United States at least not often I have my reservations about the whole thing I'm hoping to get it done before the end of the year or before my birthday in April I really want to find a buddy who's going to be doing it as well also someone who is older all you young people bounce back so quickly! I am 48. is anyone going to Mexico or did anyone go to Mexico to get their procedure? I also want to know what I'm in for what kind of problems did you have afterwards? could you eat ?were you sick? or your bathroom habits normal? did you have pain in your stomach ? Are there things that you can never eat again? did you choke at night? were you able to drink enough to feel sated ?are you hungry? were you weak? fill me in everybody !I want to hear all of it The Good The Bad and The Ugly Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App
  6. Okay so I'm a little bit paranoid I guess I wonder if you're going to punish me for taking the easy way out of so many people would say I'm really afraid of surgery people die during surgery it does happen I became really paranoid about things like that after my 23 year old son died from multiple sclerosis I think I have a little bit of a mental disorder regarding anxiety and a bit of paranoia the closer it gets to the time when I'm actually going to do it I'm really afraid that something will go wrong I'm sort of a Negative Nancy it seems too good to be true I cannot imagine being that ever again I was never a skinny skinny girl I'm 5 foot for my good normal healthy weight was about 1:35 I was always voluptuous big boobs big butt the funny thing is I thought I was fat then too now I can't even get a pair of those pants up to my knee and that's the waist of them. Anyway I am 2:45 the most I've ever weighed in my life I have high blood pressure I'm on two different kinds of medication I have arthritis in my back and my knees and two herniated discs of cervical stenosis and gerd so basically yeah I'm a mess I'm sort of looking into the mini gastric bypass I am 48 years old and I'm going to be going to Mexico to get it done so I guess yeah I feel guilty I've never been one to exercise ever and I really do like food I don't think people get fat from not eating people get fat because they don't want to exercise and because they like food right? Yes they are the lucky few that have this great metabolism where they can eat whatever they want and never get fat and we are not those people I've spent my life being angry that it was not me I felt like it wasn't fair and it really isn't but it is life I'm sorry I know I'm rambling I just needed to get this Ranch out and maybe hoped to hear that there are others out there like me? Thanks for listening Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App Wow major typo sorry about that I was talking to my phone it always makes me look illiterate I meant to say if God is going to punish me LOL I haven't even read the rest hopefully it's not too much of a mess and you get what I'm trying to say Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

    You can Google it it is where there is one connection instead of 2 being made it is very similar to a regular gastric bypass but less complications and an easier procedure Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

    Afraid to die?

    Thank you for your post my father died from a heart attack my mother takes more pills than I have in my home medicine cabinet different types of illnesses do run in my family I am 48 so it is kind of scary at my age to undertake something this big I also hear how difficult it is for people afterwards I don't know how I'm going to cope psychologically since food has always been a coping mechanism for me I think that worries me the most how did people deal with the emotions afterwards? What you do when you want to eat and you can't because it will make you sick or possibly even kill you if you burst your stitches I mean I can just say no but it won't feel good tell me about that part of it how did you cope with wanting food Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

    Afraid to die?
