    Is what "sleeveroo" wrote correct? I noticed you posted quite a bit on bariatric pal promoting a surgeon.
    Maybe he is off base on this one, but there are coordinators who pretend to be members who befriend people on false pretenses to sway them to a particular surgeon for commission fees or pimp their employer without divulging that info.

    Not that this is true in your case, but it does happen frequently on this website and other ones.



    Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.

    With all of Almanza's legal woes and the multiple deaths, I canceled my surgery with him. I just felt uncomfortable

    Hi Michael: Costa Rica is a great option...I went there for my plastic surgeries...much better country for overall crime and medical (generalizing). Go to Chetica Ranch website where I stayed while there...they are only associated with the most reputable surgeons and don't get reimbursed for their associations...terrific experience. I'm going there May to get my daughter prompt knee surgery.

    I know this is old but I wouldn't put too much stock in the fact that Bariatric Pal is no longer recommending him either. They have their own agenda trust me

    Yep - I like my privacy too - what's the big deal of not wanting to share a room? Personally I wasn't there to make buddies - I was there for surgery. Plus the first nite at the condo / recovery hotel I was sleeping most of the time but the few times I did wake up the other women in the room were getting sick all nite. Yuk! I stayed in the condo and went to a private room the next day for 2 days. Plus since I work remotely with my clients I can't exactly work on complicated numbers with chatter and distractions
