On business , and would never ever go back !

The only place I would do surgery is the USA ! I don't care how much it cost ,I want to be in my country not in a foreign country getting any type of surgery . We have the best doctors in the world ! God bless America

My advice would be to go to the self pay Mexico forum. There you will find lots of good information on the doctors in Mexico if you decide to go that route. Posting here about Mexico opens the doors for people to give you negativity about having the surgery somewhere outside the US.

I'm paying 5500 for my revision with Dr. Garcia

I had my revision almost 3 months ago, it was 5,600. I also has my band done in Mexico. You do not sacrifice care or skill for price. I will be heading back for plastics.

Don't let some people give you advice they know nothing about!!!

That's awesome! I can't wait to go for my revision! 38 more days and I will be rid of this band and on to my new life. My husband is looking forward to the trip and hoping I'm up for some shopping and site seeing afterwards since we have been to Mexico many times on vacation and loved it!

im still on the fence about the sleeve. i have been for the past year. i actually joined weight watchers in the meantime while i figure things out for myself. i am so afraid of making a decision and having it turn out badly, like the band. i thought that was the greatest thing ever and i thought i would never have to battle with my weight the way i always have. i did weel, lost around 70 lbs but then had a prolapse (slip), i had surgery to repair that and about a year or so later that band slipped, as the dr. waned me it could happen again. so ive have my band out for maybe 3 years and i put all the weight back on...ughhhh. i am so afraid of leakage with this surgery. i have scar tissue from my band surgeries and i also found out i have a few staple left in me as well, so that adds to the risk. im so torn about this. i want it but im so afraid!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
