Fatty McFatster

Thank you!! And best of luck to you as well!! Have you started your pre-op liquid diet? If so, how are you doing on it?

I totally understand. My surgery is next Friday and I view it as a rebirth and the start of a whole new life.

Thank you. I appreciate it. And CONGRATS on your maintained weight loss!!!

If it is December 21st then you are going to have a great surgery and be very successful because that is my birthday.

That is awesome news!!! When is your surgery?

Been on the Pre-Op liquid diet for 4 days and just 10 more days until surgery!!!

thank you so much!!!

Congrats!! So glad to hear you are doing so well my friend. Just 11 more days until my band to sleeve revision.

It is a funny name I made up 5 years ago and I actually like it...as do a few others based on their compliments. If we can't accept ourselves then no one else will either. With that said, I see you have over 6,000 posts, so do you have any helpful advice or information as I begin this journey? I personally think it is a great name. And I think it is awesome that someone can have fun with themselves and the name they pick. We all find humor and offense in different things. I know Fatty McFaster will succeed no matter what his name is or what anyone else thinks of it. Thank you. I appreciate that. Just 11 more days until my surgery!!!

I currently have an empty lap band and will be having the sleeve revision surgery on November 20th. I hope and believe I will be a success story, so I will have to check back in 6-12 months. Good luck to you!

Hi Henry, My wife is already working with Ana and I think I have decided to have my surgery here in the US since it will only cost me $1,200 to $1,800.

Thank you Ana. My wife has been corresponding with you through e-mail about her upcoming surgery in Mexico and you have been a real pleasure talking with!!!

After insurance verification with the hospital here at home, I am probably going to have my surgery here on November 20th. I will only owe about $1,200 to $1,800 total for the lap band to gastric sleeve revision, so that saves us about $3,000 over me having it done in Mexico. And also, if my surgery is here and my wife's surgery in Mexico, it will give us a chance to compare the surgery and recovery processes and share that information with others in order to help them. I am interested in seeing those differences (both pros and cons) firsthand as I will also be accompanying my wife to Mexico for her surgery.

Thanks guys!! I appreciate you all taking the time to respond. Lots of great info and support of Dr. A, which is making my decision even harder. Lol.

Anyone have any thoughts or advice?

I have been VERY impressed with Dr. A in Mexico and I think you made the right decision for you!! Congrats and good luck!!!
