Topic: RE: What to do?

I am planning on doing strength training for muscle tone more than cardio.  This is to try to tone as I lose.  There are lots of good ideas.  You can lay on your back and write the alphabet in the air with each leg....just Google home exercises, and the possibilities are endless.  I think as long as you are doing something your good.  Just keep moving!

Topic: RE: my best option?

I'm going with Dr. Joys, and its 5700 first sleeve...everything but airfare.   I can't say how it is because I haven't done it yet.  I feel secure in my Dr, but we shall see!!  I know from this forum there are many refutable doctors there.

Topic: RE: WLS in 3 weeks, 2 days

Can't wait to hear from you after wards, but the other ladies are right.  Its going to be fine...then we can go back for a tummy tuck? .  My mom is going with me.  She is very supporive .  I guess she sees my struggle.  I thought that she would try to talk me out of it.  She didn't actually want to go with me.  She is scared of going period, but I'm glad she agreed to go with me.  I hope your mom comes around to the idea.

Topic: What to do?

For you all that do not know my story, I had surgery 28 of November in Mexico.
I am self pay patient and payed 4500 dlls every day as some of you might know I have been working my ass to the bone.
Before the surgery I was only able to walk about 15 min, I am know able to walk around 45 min.
I still get sweaty and feel tired but not after just 15 min I can actually go the whole 45 and then I am done.
But the problem is that every day I walk just that five steps more and that is not the problem it is raining so bad that I just am not going to be able to go walk around.
I feel that if this rain does not stop soon I will be in big problems.
I will get lazy and not be able to force my self that five steps more everyday.WHAT TO DO?
Does any body feel this way?
I hope that the rain will stop soon, but lets face it we are just getting into winter this SUCKS.
Does anybody have any ideas what I can do for exercise?
I just work so hard everyday for my kids to be a better person.
Some advice please help.

Hi I was reading you story and it is amazing how so much can change over time right.

I went in for a gastric sleeve about 6 weeks ago I also was a self pay patient, I also decided to go to Mexico.

I went to Tijuana and my surgery costed me 4500 dlls.

The only extra cost that I had to pay was the airfare and 50 dlls for medication.

Most packages in Mexico will tell you one price and and than tell you latter down the road that their are extra cost.

 My doctor is name Serigeo Quinones he his a great person and very down to earth.

 I really do not know how much it cost for a revision on a RNY but I could ask my coordinator if you are interested.

Thank you! I am scheduled with Dr. Ponce de Leon on January 25th. Everything is included except the flight. I am excited and nervous. I wish I had a traveling companion, but I have heard that the coordinator is there with you every step of the way.

Topic: RE: my best option?

I'm going through BeLite Weight and they have revisions. Between financing and the doctor, I am paying $8300. I actually prefer paying more because I am skeptical and nervous about paying only $2 grand or whatever ... I prefer paying a bit more to know I'm getting a good doctor and good treatment.

My doctor, Dr. Jose Rodriguez Villareal (listed on this site too), is a professional and does revision surgery. It was on my ppw as well - "if you're first time, do these things. If you're a revision, do these".  If you'd like the monies for revision specifically, i can get you in touch with my coordinator. They had all the information quickly.
