Im from southeastern Oklahoma...Married for almost 11 years and have two beautiful girls. I have countless reasons to be thankful. I am the biggest person in our family (very ashamed) and come from a family with a medical history a mile long. With me being so overweight I am very fortunate not to have any health problems! So livng with this thought of leaving my children on this earth with out a mother has hurt me for many years. I have tried every diet out there..exercises..shots..spas..of course I loose the weight but it always seems to find me. So this is what has led me to this journey. Im so nervous goin to Tijuana and kinda feel selfish for putting my life at risk. But if I keep living like I am now thats a risk in its self. I have researched till I am starting read all the same stories. I can honestly say I am meantly ready for this life changing surgery. God has been so good to me an I know he will be with me through this time of need. I cant wait to be a HEALTHY wife an mom.
I'm also in South Oklahoma in the Lawton area. Why are you going to Mexico if you don't mind me asking?

Hello all. My name is Alisha and I am just now starting the process to have a gastric sleeve done. The doctor has checked and my insurancee does approve bariatric surgery. I plan to have it done at Integris Baptist with Dr. Hamilton Lee. Very excited. My surgery will be at least 3 mos out. It looks like a lot of people go to Mexico. I'm just curious as to why?
Hi all, I am from the Tulsa area, and had the sleeve almost 5 weeks ago. I too am curious as to why so many are going to Mexico?
I just got back from tj mexico and I went for the cost and his reputation, My doctor was awesome and my care was equally awesome. I have never gotten that kind of care in the us hospitals. There is not a darn thing to be scared about unless your not sure of yourself. I had lots of negative people around me also and thats why it took me 2 years to get it done, after 2 cancelations I did it this time without telling anybody but my hubby...Many blessings on your decision
TimeToChange has already had her surgery, went to Dr. Almanza, and has lost over 100lbs. You can look at her profile, although she didn't blog about her experience, I would bet she is happy with her decision.
I live in Arkansas but I am having my surgery in Tahlequah, Oklahoma at the Indian Health Services Hospital. I am excited and nervous. Surgery is 6 days away!
I have tried to get into that IHS hospital to have surgery for years. I am still on the waiting list. But now I have my own insurance and they are covering it. I am glad to see IHS coverage and hope they will help more IHS patients. I think it would be a great tool for many patients.
I am from Mcloud Oklahoma I have scheduled my surgery for November 1st in Mexico.
My name is Betty, I am from McAlester, OK I am scheduled for 9 / 4 in Mexico

From Durant, OK, here. I'm getting sleeved by Dr. Sarinana in Tecate on July 4th. I thought it was a good choice for the day my freedom begins, not to get too sappy though!
