I did and it was SO worth it!!! They use a few different companies and I ended up using medloanfinance. The interest rate and fees suck but it's still worth it to get this surgery!

Any time I bring up going to Mexico around my family they just all kinda chuckle and under their breath say "Mexican weight loss surgery." shaking their heads... Ugh. I have no support either obviously.

That's why I only told a selective few. Some friends and family can be very judgemental. I am nervous and worried without their negative comments so I will not allow them an opportunity to make me feel horrible. I am making this decision for me, my health, and my children. I sometimes wish people would think before they speak or judge.

You are making this decision for you.. my dad was totally against.. it they will never understand and i really don't care.. Now that they see me 5 months later they see why it was important to me and really aren't too judgemental anymore.. it's amazing you have to do what is right for you in your heart because it doesn't matter what they think..

Here is my weight surgery in Mexico SMILE!!!!!!!!!!!! I am smiling because i'm sooooooo happy i made this decision it has changed my life in such little time... Surgery was May 3rd.. just five short months ago!!! With the most amazing doctor.. so happy!! and i wish you all that happiness!!

They don't care about me getting the surgery, I've had NUMEROUS cousins get WLS...it's the Mexico part that my family is against!!! It's to the point where no one will come with me and I don't want them too..I am really thinking of just leaving for the 4 days and not tell anyone!!! Unfortunately, I have to let them know because I have a child that my parents have to take care of while I'm gone!!! My mom told my dad, my dad told my uncle, my uncle told my cousin etc....Just a big mess!!! Lol...I haven't even booked yet!!! DAMN CALM DOWN!!!!

These ppl act like I'm going in a dark alley way on a cot to get skinny by a bootleg doctor!!!! Lolz

Right. Lol I keep trying to explain to everyone that I'm not an idiot. I've done my research, and I'm not traveling to Mx so some doctor can chop out my stomach. But it doesn't matter, they just keep thinking wht they wanna think no matter how hard I try to explain it

      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.
