Waler 330 Posted December 19, 2016 I would say do your homework and decide which procedure is right for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biginjapan 647 Posted December 22, 2016 Yes but I'm going to have to wait until September I'm having mine done in Tijuana in February - that will be about 9 months after I first thought about having the surgery done. I would've done it sooner, but I'm limited with my holidays and this will be the earliest time I can do it. There are a lot of good surgeons there, based on my research. I chose my doctor based on price, reputation, and overall service and information from the facilitator/website. There are lots of people who've had the surgery in Mexico, so I'm sure you'll get a lot of advice if you ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nurse1127 1 Posted December 23, 2016 You need to start preparing yourself for this new lifestyle change. Start dieting and exercising. Try a 1200 or 1400 calorie diet. Talk with your physician and ask for help. Drink lots of water!! Good luck! Do lots of research on the surgery. Try watching YouTube video's from others who have had the surgery.
