Go to mexico. They don't require you to be morbidly obese to have the surgery. I had a BMI of 32 at surgery.
We move on with life.. Our weight no longer rules our thoughts and our lives.. So, we don't think about coming here and posting.
It's been a 16 months post op for me and i don't even think I used...

She is wrong- It can't be that expensive. If they are really charging your insurance company that I would find another doctor. Just tells you they your Doctor is a theif.
depending on how much weight you loss you will probably need skin removal surgery to look your best.

Insurance doesn't cover the Doctors in Mexico.
People go to mexico and have it done there for several reasons.
1. Insurance won't approve you for the surgery because you are not obese enough.
2....
I was cash.. My mother and sister also went with Cash. it's really not a safety issue. Just don't pull it out until you get to the hospital and you will be fine.
They give you the cash discount...
Congrats!! I'm thinking I may have a hiatal hernia. It Looks like Almanza did you original sleeve. what made you choose Lopez for the 2nd surgery? just wondering.

You will totally forget about food after surgery.. Hang in there!1
Congrats on taking the big step.. You will be so much better after.. The first week is hard but it gets easier day by day.. Ask any questions you have all the pros here.

I think the OP was saying he gained all the weight back once the band was removed.
Also want to point out that everyone is different. I had to try like 5 different brands of shakes and favors to find one I could stomach. I couldn't handle the ones that were "Foamy" I found one...
IT will get easier.. You say you are having trouble with the protein shakes? You are only 5 days out.. Most surgeons have their patients on clear fluids for the first week. Maybe you are going to...
I had the same thing.. continued bleeding not in the stomach but in the cut through the abdominal wall. Had another surgery the day after . Didn't affect my recovery. Good luck.
