Peace about my choice

 Well I spent the day filling out my medical history and all those types of forms. I know it is a good thing that I have all of my medical records. I just can't seem to stay off the computer though searching and looking up different things about my doctor and the procedure. I wonder if I would be doing the same thing if I were having surgery here in the states. Why is it that we have so much faith in our corrupt medical system and we won't open our minds to think that other countries can do it just as good as we can if not better? I mean we put more trust in the fact that if a doctor has a couple of extra letters behind their name that they should be awesome and it is not always the case.  I know I am making a good dicision with my surgery I just have to stay off this computer to be at peace with my choice.  I haven't been able to sleep the past couple of weeks and tonight I am gonna try to get a good nights rest. Another day at it tomorrow.

I hope you're able to relax a little. I know how it feels to not want to stay off the computer. In the beginning I would spend hours upon hours researching every little thing I could about the sleeve. You will definitely reach a point where it won't be so bad, lol. As for the outside the US thing, I agree with you.  There are plenty of surgeons in Mexico who have stellar reputations in bariatric surgery. Good luck with you surgery!

I am having fear too even with a doctor here in the states too. 

I laughed when you stayed on the "computer and searching and..."  ME TOO..  some how we need reassurance... I have found that reading comments like yours and other sisters of this site is invaluable. 

Good luck to you

Linda
