Armywife29 90 Posted December 29, 2012 How exciting! What hospital do you go to? I am with Dr.Rod and am going to INT. I'm going to MiDoctor. I am SO excited! Just a little backstory (I am mainly on the ObesityHelp VSG forum) but I am a military dependent on Tricare Prime and was accepted and completed the entire bariatric pathway...went in for my surgeon consult and was told by the guy that I wasnt sick enough for surgery (BMI of 38, pre diabetic, hypertension-not medicated yet, extremely high cholesterol). It was devastating, so I told him I wasn't going to wait around to get "sick enough.". And here I am . I feel 150% confident in my decision and honestly believe that I will have a better surgery and hospital experience than I would have at the military treatment facility. The surgeon I met had only done about 100 sleeves and uses a larger size boughie too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
las2geg 1 Posted December 29, 2012 I believe everything happens for a reason and I believe your decision to do to Mexico is far better than the military surgeon you met with. I am at a 44 BMI and am very excited about my decision to go through with this life changing decision! Where are you from? I live in Washington state.
