Hi annamolly760 you are very welcome here. Do you have a date yet, how far along in the process are you? Ask any questions you want, if I don't have an answer perhaps one of our veterans will. I think we are a group,of very nice folk here.

Thank you! No date yet but hopefully going to set one on Monday. I just made the decision last week to have this done across the boarder after I found out my insurance wouldn't cover and I'd have to pay out of pocket. My cousin had the bypass about a year and a half ago. I'm hoping to meet people who are on the same timeline as me so we can experience this together.

I know there several Mexico threads on here, I think one of the ladies is having hers done March 9th. Not sure but I think she's going to BariatricPal hospital, in Tiajuana. I think her surgeon may be Dr Illial. If Bill Yanez sees your post I'm sure he'll get in touch with you. Are you planning a sleeve or bypass? They do both of them very well and it is a lot cheaper than US or Canada prices.

Bill has contacted me already and I'm going to call him on Monday. I'm leaning twords the bypass because I have a lot of weight to lose. Currently 365. I have done a bit of research on both think this would be the best fit. [emoji16]

I'm a RnYer myself, I have GERD, want the gold standard of surgery as I am planning this to be, my 1 and only bariatric surgery. And this may sound silly to some but I would prefer being slightly rerouted to losing 3/4 of my natural stomach. God created me in his likeness and image, although surgeons also are his instrument for good,, I prefer not to tarnish his creation excessively.
