Hi Tiffany. I have a BMI of 30.8. I'm on the low side too and was wondering some of the same things you were. My surgery is scheduled for 1/21/2011 with Dr. Kelly and I'm so excited. I know my bmi is on the low side for the past couple years but its been much higher before. I know I need a permanent solution for life. I can no longer go up and down , up and down!!! If I don't get this done

Has anyone done cash pay in the Houston area. Was planning on going to Mexico but my family wants me to look around the Houston area and see how much cash pay is. All I am seeing on the net is around $10K. Want to make a decision pretty quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated :laugh0:

They just emailed and said they have an opening in 2 weeks in Juarez with Rodriguez. I have about 24hrs to make the final decision. SOOO Scared and nervous. Just started even thinking about this about 2 weeks ago. I feel like I haven't had much time to process everything!! Has anyone heard anything bad about Rodriquez or the Juarez hospital?? BMI is around 32% and I am scared I will look awful skinny?? Is this wierd?? I can not ever remember a day I was happy with my body or my weight. I say I only need to loose 40lbs but I just can not imagine being smaller than that because it has never been an option untill now :/ But tonight at the dinner table my 7 year old was fighting with his brother over food. That was such a wake up call for me. He said that he loved food. That was the saddest thing I have ever heard. I do not want my kids to love food or be obsessed with food. Somethng has to change somewhere. Why shouldn't it be with me??

Does anyone have a BMI of around 32%?? I am highly thinking about getting the sleeve done and worried that I will lose too much and look like I am sick and on drugs :svengo: I have already been approved for financing and all I have to do is make the app. I am thinking of having it done in Juarez by Dr. Rodriquez. Anyone have thought on the locations or the doctor. I know I am rambling but I am SOOOO very nervous about my decision. what is the avg weight loss for someone of my size? I am so stressed and trying to make the right decision. HELP??!!:confused1:

Saving up money to get the sleeve in mexico
Tiffany_223 replied to kerri21's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got my loan thru www.surgeryloans.com, it is kind of like care credit, but carecredit does not work in Mexico. I am lookin ginto Dr. Rodriquez in Mexico. -
I am new to this site and at this time are exploring my options for WLS. I was wondering what the avg weight loss is for people that have low BMI's. Mine is 32% and I realistically only have 35-40lbs to lose. I have struggled with weight loss and the up and down battle my entire life and am sick and tired of the games. I would love to have this wonderful tool, but am afraid that I would lose too much weight and look sickly? Can anyone answer these question or give me your honest opinion?? :confused1:

Hi, I was reading some of your posts and was interested in your story. As you were my BMI is on the low side. It is @ 31% but I have been on diet pills for the past year, so it could be higher. I only have about 30lbs to lose at this time and am worried that this is to drastic for that much weight. But I have struggled with the up and down my entire life. Do you think that the sleeve is worth the time and money for 30lbs? Very worried about losing too much and looking horrible and like I am on drugs!! Any comments or encouragement is greatly appreciated
