Tell me about it!

I think everyone is different but I know at least a few things I will be steering clear of!

I am paying **** with a private room, but we got a deal because there are 3 of us going for the surgery. We are all having it on March 28th. Myself, my Aunt, and my bestfriend. We are so scared and excited!!

I am coming from Mississippi and it is gonna cost me around $435/ticket.

I am excited for you! =D>

Good luck with your journey!

I think you will do just fine. >

I can't imagine how that made you feel when your son said that.

I actually really like the Slim Fast shakes also. I hope someone answers soon. I think I would like them after my surgery too.

It sounds like your experience was not very pleasant. I am sorry to hear that..especially since I am going next month to have the surgery. I have read many, many stories on this forum and I think this is the first one I read that didn't make the experience sound great. :-?

I talked to Lori today and she emailed me all the paperwork. My surgery is scheduled for March 28th with Dr. Martinez! I am really scared and excited at the same time. I hope I can find a local fill Doctor. Did anyone worry about having problems afterwards and your Dr being in Mexico? I am a little concerned about that. Are serious problems rare with this surgery? I am afraid I won't find anyone local to help me if I have a problem. Maybe I am worrying too much?

I read all the stories on here and that is what made me make my mind up. It sounds like such a pleasurable trip. I am really scared of the long flight (coming from Mississippi) but I think it will be the best decision I ever made.

My surgery is on March 28th. I will be arriving the night of the 26th. I am SO EXCITED!!

How long is the wait to get in with Dr. Ortiz? Thank you in advance.

Hi, my name is Kim and I am seriously considering having this surgery. I am scheduled for a seminar next week and will make my decision from there. I will be paying cash for it (taking out a loan) and I just wanted to get a little feedback from everyone. I have researched it until I am blue in the face and would like to get some advice from people who have actually had the surgery.

I am 5'6" and weigh 230 lbs. I have yo yo dieted my entire life with little or no success. I have Insurance, but with my BMI at 37 I have to have two medical conditions along with my weight for my Insurance to cover this. I am gonna pay $15K for it and that is everything and 15 months after the surgery for adjustments.

How soon do you need an adjustment? How often? Any suggestions, thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
