Going to mexico!!

The crazy thing is, I have never even considered going for surgery.

But something in me changed. I think mostly i am just fed up.

I was paying cash for my surgery where i live. Not only is it 3 times the cost of going to Mexico,

But I also paid 2k out of pocket for testing. Then when I had a date, i was so excited and then got a call that

I needed to be rescheduled for a month later. I had worked my butt off to jump through every hoop (not insurance company hoops)

I was heart broken. So, after reading through hundreds of posts on here, my husband and i sat down and made a decision.....Mexico!

I got in touch with Dr.Kelly yesterday and by the end of the day I had a surgery date, flights, everything!

I feel so at peace with my decision.

So now I have questions.......What is the area like? Did people go with you? Did you like the hospital/hotel? Did you feel safe?

I can't help you with your questions. but just wanted to say good for you for taking charge of the situation and making the decision. I sometimes wish I could, but I have to wait out the insurance scheme.

My surgery is with Dr. Kelly tomorrow. They pick me up at 10 a.m. I'll post as much information as I can during the process.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
