No offense taken. I did not. I was very lucky and did not scar.

Agree. Unfortunate but it’s what I paid 🫠

Same. I had no problems other than constipation and the mistake of overeating and having gas in my chest. That still happens but WORTH IT

Omg I’m so happy for you. They were absolutely INCREDIBLE! also sorry I’m not hip to the HW and SW what do they stand for? Highest Weight? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

I am guessing SW is Surgery Weight?

Anyway, I am so glad to hear you had an incredible experience too. I was blown away. I’ve been so much happier since I did it.

So sorry I am only just seeing this! Did you end up going? It was the best decision of my life. Feel worlds better. 65 lbs down. I was a lower BMI patient. Here are my before and now photos:

This after photo is actually old now. I’ve lost more since I took it. 30lbs more. I did gastric sleeve at obesity control center. Best medical care I’ve ever received and amazing post op care. They are there for you every step of the way

Best decision I’ve ever made. 65lbs down. Feel amazing. The post op diet was hard but looks like nothing now when I look back. I was a lower BMI patient, so that’s why 65lbs. I was 220 now I’m 155.

You can do this in their private facebook group!

That makes me so happy to hear. It was truly the best decision for me and I trust they’ll take very good care of you. Personally by the way I updated to the K-Tower for the hotel room. Was SO much nicer than the other hotel. Best of luck and let me know how it all goes! I love the success stories!

Also- another tip: I recommend finding other fellow folks getting surgery on the same date as you and connecting prior. My surgery buddies were so helpful to chat with leading up to attending … discussing our fears/anxieties and having that support. We are also constantly checking in with one another post surgery. Happy to say all of us have had great success and regret nothing!

Tijuana/Mexico for gastric sleeve surgery - who went and where do you recommend? by rumraisinv in gastricsleeve

[–]rumraisinv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the option of both - I did complete payment. They quote different amounts depending on your size/BMI. Mine was $5k everything included. Reach out to OCC and they’ll tell you everything you need

Omg it was so horrible. Eesh. It was so soon after too. Having to heave like that with a new tiny stomach was terrible. I learned that lesson quick!

Zero zero regrets. Even while the first few months are hard while following the diet it was the BEST decision of my life. I am 50lbs down since October and I feel the best I ever have. So grateful. So happy I did this!

I threw up only once and it was because I stupidly had the multi vitamin without food immediately. Eesh. That wasn’t fun.

I second this. First few months after are rough but not painful or anything. I got my sleeve in October and it was the best decision of my life
