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.
Wow that's very soon! Please let me know how everything goes! Are you nervous?
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.
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.
So first - HollyKim - I had to laugh when I read your post because you put it in such perspective :) I guess I do worry too much.
lindsayraec323 - I'm glad I'm not alone in how I feel. I have terrible luck at times too - mostly with anesthesia. I'm so scared it won't take properly since I've had issue with it before. And of course its Mexico - you can't drink the water yet I'm having surgery there? lol... But apparently medical tourism is a big thing and millions of people go there for that. I'll update you since you'll have surgery about 2 weeks after me, if you want :)
Sandra F. Thanks for the encouragement. If I can peek one eye open after I wake up from surgery and realize I'm okay - from then on I won't regret it. :) I just wanna make it to that point. I'll be working 3 days after surgery (work from home computer job) so I'm sure I'll be hating life for a month like you said. And I'll miss the foods and sodas. and Redbull. I'll miss the redbull lol.
It doesn't help that my mother think's im crazy and flips out first!@!! Trying to calm down lol...
Thanks for responding everyone!
I think you echo the feelings of just about everyone that has gone through WLS. Everyone has doubts and fears but everything will be okay and you will not regret your decision (well maybe at first you might as the first month is no picnic but later it will get better). Good luck to you!
