Need Advice! Mexico?



Recommended Posts

My insurance does not cover bariatric surgery and I'm strongly considering going to have it done in Mexico. I know a few people who did that and it has been a success. I know there are risks, but I feel the benefits may outweigh the risks. I'm just not able to lose weight on my own. I've lost 130lbs before but gained it all back. I feel I need a medical intervention. I cannot afford to self pay. any advice would be helpful thanks

Watch this guy's videos. He used one of the doctors advertised on this site over on the right side of the screen (BARIATRICPAL mx). I watched his entire experience and it seemed to be a good choice for him.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
