What is the benefits of going to Mexic? I have a wonderful surgeon here and my insurance pays 80%

My insurance has an exclusion for weight loss surgery so it is a no go and Mexico was $6k less than doing it here in the states.. My surgeon in Juarez (Dr Rodriguez) has more experience than the dr I chose here in Texas. So it made sense for me to choose to go to Mexico. After the initial shock of "OMG, I am going to have a surgery in Mexico!!!" wore off, I was sold! Ready to do this and get it done!!!

This is great! I bought underwear two sizes smaller thinking that I would need them first before any of my clothes! A "mini goal" outfit is a great idea! I think I will shop this weekend for one. I'll leave it on the hanger and dangle it like a carrot! Thanks for the idea! Come on June..........................

That is a good idea getting the under wear. I got tired of seeing my wife in the saggy underwear. Even the thongs that used to fit nice and snug, now too big.....had to go. Lol. Your man will thank you.

      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.
