Your option may be to self-pay. There are affordable places in the US. Do some research, It's so worth it even if you have to pay yourself.

I remember being where you are in my journey. I'm not too fond of protein shakes, but for one kind that I actually enjoy. You can order them at imetabolic.com. They still go down easily, and they'll...
Welcome back--I was sleeved 2-8-13, so this board is not nearly as active as it used to be. I have 20 pounds to lose and am back on track! It's not easy,
but once you get your momentum going, there...
Hello, I am a patient of Dr Kent sasse. I'm aware that you've probably had the sleeve procedure and wanted to know how it all went for you. I'm 7 years out and this procedure has been a life changer!
The gastric sleeve procedure was one of the best decisions I've made. I'm considering a mommy makeover at 66 years old (breast lift, tummy tuck with muscle repair and light liposuction) I've gained...
Regain is a sad part of this experience-I attend a bariatric support group in my area and watch either people struggle with it, deal with it, or give in to it. I'm fascinated by the show "My...

There's probably bariatric support groups in your area. Realizing that it's the mental game that wins, you may want to get involved sooner rather than later.
Most people aren't qualified to make or have an influence in your deeply thought out and personal decision.
I believe there is a scientific reason behind this. Bad breath can occur during rapid weight loss. Maybe ketosis? I noticed this in the early stages of weight loss, but it seems to level out. I'm...
picking my memory bank now--Unjury hot chicken broth will go down smoothly, keep you hydrated and provide protein.
Are you tracking what you eat? I swear by My Fitness pal which you can get for your smartphone.I'm not sure what plan your doctor has put you on but tracking will put you on the right path.
It seems to me that I was feeling the same way. My surgery date was 2/13/13. --Wow what a journey you're in for. Take a look at your t-shirted icon..You're about to free yourself from prison.
I can so relate to this--It seems to be crack for my entire family, some who don't even have a weight problem. It's off limits for me too.
What a journey that we're all undertaking! For me, it certainly hasn't been always an easy one. I religiously do some things right. For me these are attending any of the local bariatric support...
I remember the anxiety before my surgery but now in hindsight, it has been one of life's greatest adventures! I'm so happy I did it!
Not a newbie here--I needed to hear from a real vet like yourself. My problem is mindless eating, grazing or call it what you will. Eating from emotional attachment rather than nutritional need has...
interesting how the 3-2 mile walks kick started your metabolism. My own experience seems to be that after I went with more "gentle" work outs like yoga, I seem to have put on weight!! For me, its...
I can empathize. One thing that I might share with you is that as a result of having the surgery and being much thinner, my metabolic rate has decreased. I had an RMR at the surgeons office before...
forgot to mention phone number 702-463-3300
There's an awesome place in the Las Vegas area-Called Blossom Bariatrics, Dr Umbach. The total self pay cost is 12,500. I've heard nothing but great stories and your BMI is perfect for them.
I'll be giving you my best take on this---Contact your Doctor and do whatever is suggested. Fruit has sugar (you may or may not be a good candidate for that) Maybe the doctor would be able to put you...
Sometimes, disease is not a person's fault. Diabetes, cancers, altzheimer's sometimes are the cards that we are dealt with. Bad thinking, bad choices can run for generations. How many times I...
You are beautiful--all the best to you!
I remember looking at the line in a bank's surveillance camera.There's the guy in the tan sweater three people ahead of me, there's the lady with the two small kids, there's the woman with the green...
