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 .

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
