New to forum. researching VSG surgery

[BenniA 9]

Hi everyone this is all new to me. I have never participated in a forum or blog, but I have been reading everyones post for a few days now, and I have found them very informative. I am thinking about having VSG surgery, well I am 90% sure I am going to have it. I have been in contact with Teri from Belite weight, and I am self -pay. so my best and closes option is Dr Rodriguez in Mexico. A friend of mine I went to Nursing school with had it done last year with him. She drove herself to El Paso where they picked her up at the airport, and she drove herself home. Amazing. She told me she had the best experience ever she is over a year out and has lost over 90lbs. Of course I have been asking her questions left and right I think she is tired of hearing from me. I have told no one in my family except my husband and a few coworkers. I don't want negative responses. I have so much to say, but I don't want to bore everyone so I will tell you about some of my concerns in another post.. for now I would like to no know if anyone else has had surgery with Dr Rodriguez, I have not seen very may post about him.

Thanks, I won't reveal my real name now you can just call me Benni.

Benni hi i am new to this as well and it is refreshing to see someone else that is considering this choice like myself and do not want all of the backlash from family members. I have just set up my first seminar regarding this procedure and I am looking forward to everything and getting started. Congratulation on your decision.
