Well, I've decided on the VSG procedure. I think its the best choice for me. I love the DS, but the malabsorption does worry me. It looks like a fantastic surgery, though. I'm not covered by insurance and was just "approved" by Dr. A's office in Mexico. My husband is still very concerned and not sold on going to another country, so he's asked his CFO for a "favor" and hope that they WILL cover me for insurance. I don't want this to work out really b/c then I'll have to jump through all the hoops and go through the emotional ups and downs. Urg. I've had enough of that. We told his parents about the surgery, they're concerned, but want whatever we want. They DO NOT,however, know about MX. Don't know how we're going to cross that bridge.
