So, since I've had to cancel my surgery I've been depressed... Even more so than what I was before. I felt like I finally found a solution to help me with my problem, and I had to just give up on that all together. I've been thinking of any way possible to come up with the money. But I do have good news! My income tax may be more than what I anticipated! :) if so, I still may not be able to go in March, but maybe in a few more months!! I hope...

Everything will work out for you...I am in the same predicament that you are in and I'm just saving and trying to stay positive. I talked to alma last week from r4ac and she said at this time they are not in house financing but to contact her within 30 days to see if everything goes thru...So I will keep my fingers crossed with that but if not at least I know that I eventually will get to Mexico....

Have either one of you looked into a less expensive surgeon? Not sure what the cost is of the dr of your choice, but just a thought

I agree with u. I originally was going with Dr. Lopez but the Dr I ended up going with is $750 cheaper n doesn't require a deposit. Dr. Illan $4000!!!

@zoriahdiana5. Can you give me more info on Dr. Illan and a phone number? And also do they use a coordinator? Thats a big price difference!

info@bajabariatrics.com yes he uses a coordinator. His name is Omar and was Dr. Kelly's old one.

Sorry just,seeing ur message. By GAmom is right. N yes, that is a big price change. I couldn't be happier with my choice. I'm so glad I never gave a deposit else where.

I did I went from Dr. Ponce to Dr. Garcia...Things happen for a reason...This is how it is in life and some things just have to be on "pause" for a minute....I'll get to Mexico before this year is over...I never made any deposits because I want ALL the money I need before I make a date...so it is what is....staying positive!!!!

I'm leaving on the 18th having surgery on the 19th with Dr. Illan. I changed to him as well. Coordinator is awesome n so is Dr. Illan. We stay n constant contact, I had a meeting on Skype with Dr. Illan courtesy of Omar my coordinator. When searching for a Dr., No other coordinator offered me that. It's a group of us ladies that r all going n we're all awesome!! Lol. We have our own lil page on FB that we stay in contact on too.

      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.
