Hello everyone I have been researching this procedure now for 3 months. I have no insurance so have decided to head for the Border. This forum is PRICELESS, filled with valuable info and first hand accounts, it will surely be my home through my journey of change.

Hi Shontel, Welcome to LBT. It really is an amazing place, isnt it? It's been a huge help to me and so much fun making new friendships.

Good luck in your early stages of the journey. Really do your research and pick a good doc. :mad:

Hi Shontel,

I am also a self-pay having surgery in Mexico. My surgery is on March 7, 2006 and my surgeon is Roberto Rumbaut. Who are you going to have do your surgery?

After months of research, I chose Dr. Sanchez, for me, he was the best and most reasonable in terms of cost, since I'm a self pay. Good luck to you! I'm still saving so haven't set a date yet, but hope to very soon :welldone2:

Hello everyone , I am new to forum. I am thinking about the LBP and have spoken to 4 doctors. I think that Dr.Rodriguez is my best choice to have it done in Mexico because I live in the DFW area and I want the same Dr to do my fills. But I want feedback on something, is there anyone who will finance the entire surgery($8900.00).I really want it done by summer but cannot afford it right now.

There are many medical finance options available. Ask your patient coordinator about what ones they use, or you could take a personal loan ect.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
