I'm from the Kansas City area but I was sleeved last November. Good luck to you.

Paula12, we go to Mexico because our insurance doesn't pay and when you are self pay, it's about 1/3 of the price there. I had the best surgeon you could ask for and I would do it all again.

It's due to self pay. I've been denied by my insurance, so in order to be able to do it and afford it I've researched Dr.s in Mexico. This site has reassured be beyond belief!! I also had a friend who went to Mexico and had it done and did great and looks great! :0)

Check again.. insurance companies r changing their minds daily! ! Check in Mexico about the type of staplers used....it will make a difference in not only immediately but long term. You see...I know to much!!! Lol

There are many reasons. Money being one, another huge one is experience, top Mexican doctors have been doing this procedure for years. They have the experience of performing thousands of these surgeries. Not to mention the care you get at the better Mexican facilities is much more attentive. I can say that I prefer going to Mexico. It was a great experience for me.

A lot of insurance companies will pay, it was my employer that has an exclusionary clause against any weight loss surgery. My surgeon also had a lot more experience than any of the surgeons in this area. I got a lot more personalized treatment there as well.

      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.
