What is the spider method?

That is when the doctor does the surgery by making one incision and not four

Yes, I'm looking forward to being under 150 pounds in a few months, hope that goal isn't too aggressive! I am worried a bit about my Hair loss, recently had a baby 3/25 and my edges already feel out in two spots from my c-section, I'm hoping for minimal to no hair loss during this sleeve recovery!

I'm a low bmi at around 35. Surgery scheduled next week in the Dominican republic. I'm 5'4" and 197 pounds. No going back...I'm ready for his. Tired of the constant up and downs & the daily struggle with self esteem.

Was it much more expensive where you are going?

Wow! As a cash-pay I love Dr. Kelly's package price. Is that 5500 for a band revision to sleeve or just the sleeve? I think my insurance will pay for removal of my band because my esphagus is very' date=' very stretched. I am leaning towards getting my band out "at home in the US", waiting 4-6 months for my esophasus to continue healing and then go to Tujuana and Dr. Kelly. I'm getting an upper GI and report in mid-july so I'll ask for a copy of the photos and report and then mail copies or email copies to Dr. Kelly via Omar. Thank you for sharing your info so freely with me! Sara[/quote']

Sorry, I lost track of this topic.

The $5500 I paid was just for the sleeve. I have no idea what the difference would be with a revision. Email Omar, you will not get any pressure ever with him.

I'm excited for you! Please let us know how it goes. I am scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Alvarez, if my insurer denies me.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
