new to the board :)
I am considering both Dr. Almanza and Dr. Rodriguez. I am a self pay and was looking at having surgery late summer. I received a call from the coordinator from Dr. Rod's that I was preapproved for in house financing pending sending my documentation of income in. That would really bump things up a bit for me :)
I still havent told anyone but this board about my decision and havent planned on doing so. The last thing I want to hear are people telling me "you're not THAT fat" blah blah blah. I think I'm considered a lightweight lol doesnt seem so lightweight to me when I'm porking outta my clothes and feel like crap.
So I'm off to fax my documentation for Dr. Rod's...wish me luck :) Either way I'm having this done THIS darn year lol
forgot to say Thank you for all the responses and the welcomes to the board :) thank you

I was a lightweight too, my goal was 70lbs, I still have 6 to go!! But boy what a change a few pounds make!
I don't blame you for not telling anyone, there is so many negative comments that come out when you say you are going to Mexico! You will be totally safe there as long as you go with a good surgeon. Make sure you do lots of research. Get it done as soon as you can, I only took 6 days off for both my lap band and my revision. So if you have the time, do it!! It will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself!
Good luck!
Welcome to the boards, I am going to Dr. Rod for VSG in July, so I can't tell you anything about him or the facilities first hand. But when I got on here and started doing research I found patients of his and heard only good things so I chose him. I do not the other Dr. you are thinking about and have not heard anything about him either so can't help you there.
Good luck on who ever you choose
