Hi,

I am approved and scheduled to have surgery in Mexico in a couple of months. I live in Europe and I feel that its too far. I am young and honestly scared of travelling so far on my own for surgery. I have not found a doctor in Europe that is willing to operate on someone with a BMI under 35. Mine is 32-33. Does anyone know of any doctors or clinics in Europe that performs sleeves on someone with my bmi range? Thank you.

I don't have any input other than to say I can imagine that's a very tough decision. I hope you're able to find a doctor closer to home.


- No idea what I'm doing but I'm here! :)

Where are you from in Europe? I would look at Greece or Bulgaria (private clinics of course). It'll be pricier than Mexico but you'll save the cost of the overseas flight. That's where I would have gotten mine done next summer but there would be too much family drama for me to do it over there.

I'm sorry to hear about your family drama. I hope it gets better and thar you can have your surgery soon. I will definitely look into Bulgaria & Greece :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
