Thx for the info. Good luck in your journey Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

I did a lot of research on lots of docs. I'm an R.N. a most important aspect is the experience of the surgeon. Also, I wanted to be in a center or hospital that is JCI accredited. That means that that center achieved high standards of care. I am being evaluated by OCC and Dr Ariel Ortiz at OCC. For a sleeve. Dr Corvala at Angeles hospital is very good as well. Good luck Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

I spoke with them and they told me the $6700 Is after insurance. Otherwise cash price is $15000 Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

I won't get discouraged. I listened to a physician on YouTube saying that there is less saggy skin issues with a lower weight. I dont care about that. I just want these excess 40lb off.

That's great. The less you have to lose. The slower it comes off. I'm having mine late may Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

My bmi is 33. Weight 203. 5'6. I'm in the same boat you're in. Tried everything. Really need to get this 40 lb off. I feel I've made the right decision by having the sleeve. Will be doing it late May. YOU DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS BEST FOR YOU Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow that's a lot of weight lost. Don't get too skinny before your surgery. Lol. Good luck. So happy for u Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Thx. After lots of reading and research on Dr. Ortiz and Dr Corvala, I'm trying to Decide on who h one to use. Any thoughts Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

How exciting. I'll be probably later in may. Good luck Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow!! Those are pretty close to my numbers. Bmi is 32. I'm still researching but looking seriously to get sleeve end of may. Yo yo diet, weight watchers, jeny craig, hcg, you name it, been there. Just can't seem to lose hose 35 to 40 lb. Good luck with your journey Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Just put in bmi calculator on Google and you put in your height, weight age ance it will calculate. Free. Did not use medical tourism. Read lots of posts and my own research. Now I'm looking at Dr Ariel Ortiz with Obesity control center . Excellent credentials. I just emailed him questions. Will call them tomorrow to ask more questions

Aww that's my birthday

One one hand I feel the sleeve is the right choice. I did hcg 4 years ago and lost 30# have kept it off which I'm thankful for, but it is a struggle Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

I really need a perspective on whether or not to have s sleeve. Bmi is 32. Weigh 200. 5'6" have 40# to lose. Already approved. Now having second thoughts. Not because of short term issues like pain, nausea, tiredness. really concerned about success after 2 years. I hear so many people commenting on revisions. Weight gain, etc. I'm trying to lose with weight watchers. It's a toss up of the sleeve vs liposuction in my tummy area. And arms. For contouring. Any comments appreciated. Question. For sleevers out 2 years and more, would u do it all over again Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

So true Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you. Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

The website doesn't say how many nights in the hospital or hotel after the procedure. Any comments are welcome. I plan to arrive the day before surgery. Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app
