    Smile Hate waiting

    Good morning everyone!! I decided I wanted to looking into the gastric sleeve about 6 months ago, after going to a doctor and doing a bunch of testing I was told by my insurance they will not cover it. So then I started looking into Mexico. I am very nervous for many different reasons but I really just want to get the ball rolling and actually start living a new healthy life. I am tired of the yo-yo dieting and trying different diets in general that don't work, I have tried everything under the sun. I am tired of going to stores and not buying clothes because nothing fits. I am going to be an Aunt in September and right now to think about running around with a little kid would not happen. A good friend of mine was offering to go with me when I have the surgery but I am thinking of maybe changing my surgery date and going alone. Has anyone gone alone and been ok? Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Have a great day!

    Hello,

    I went alone. It was great. They were very kind at the hospital and then I was put in a room after surgery and the ladies were great. Back at the hotel I shared a room with a young woman that was so great and over a year later we are still friends. The nurses at the hotel were great. I was really ok going through he airport on my way home. I was tired but I was OK. I had some hot water and bullion while I waited for my plane and I slept on the way back it was ok. You will be well taken care of while you are in Mexico.

    Welcome Meghan. I have seen a lot of people go to Mexico alone. They often come back having made friends while there. I say the sooner the better. It is amazing to get this new lease on life.
