Hello,

Just wondering where are you guys from & where are yall doing the surgery at. I'm in Lafayette, La and that's where I'm doing my surgery at.

I see a lot of people go to Mexico and have their procedure. Im guessing they are people who are self pay. I'm correct?

Hi,

I am from a small town outside of Huntington, WV. My insurance requires 12 consecutive monthly visits to the doctor before they will consider the surgery. I am just getting started on this journey. We are talking about surgery sometime in 2017.

I'm in Moulton, AL (tiny town!) and having my surgery done in Birmingham. I'm a self pay but wanted to stay in the US. ;) An acquaintance of mine is having hers done in Mexico as a self pay, though. It would be interesting to know the price difference.

I'm in Colorado Springs, CO . Having my sleeve done in Denver on 7/12.

Self pay because I'm a lower weight BMI of 32. Spent a lot of time weighing pros and cons of surgery in Mexico vs US . 5,900 vs 12,900 .

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
