Michelle L. 4 Posted October 9, 2017 I’m having mine December 15th. Unfortunately, my insurance isn’t covering mine so I am going to Mexico to have it done. I’m nervous about that but heard many great things about the doctor and surgical center there. 1 Katybel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueCrush 408 Posted October 12, 2017 I just got my date: December 11th. I still have one final appointment to go in the 6 month diet plan, but they wanted to get me scheduled ASAP to ensure I got a spot before the end of the year as my insurance is changing on 1/1/18. Excited and nervous! 4 Michelle L., Cathy M., SampTheChamp and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeletedAccount 45 Posted October 18, 2017 Michelle L. - I'm having my procedure done in Mexico too - December 11. It's with Dr. Ortiz at the OCC in Tijuana. He has a very good reputation. Where are you having yours done? I'm also really nervous. I know the complication rates are very low for gastric sleeve, but I have an amazing 5 year old daughter and a wonderful husband, and I can't help worrying something could go wrong. I also can't quite believe it will really work. I have lost weight in the past, but I always gain it back. It's hard to imagine actually losing more than 30 pounds and actually keeping it off. 3 Cathy M., Katybel and SampTheChamp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michelle L. 4 Posted October 18, 2017 I’m going to Mexico Bariatric Center in Tijuana and Dr. Valenzuela is my doctor. I have tried and failed many times so I decided to take the leap. I’m afraid of failing again too. I’ve been reading up on it and joined some groups for advice and just to see what issues may come up. Some do have issues but they are short term so if we have one, let’s just remember that it’s temporary. We got this and we will succeed! 😊 2 Katybel and Cathy M. reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
