Hi! My story is kind of a frustrating one! My best friend and I were always chunky together and 2 years ago she decided to have Gastric ByPass. I thought she was insane and lazy. She had the surgery and was sooo happy with the results and she looked amazing and felt great. I decided I didnt want to be fat anymore! So i started the process with my insurance. It was GRUELING! I had all of the appointments done, waited and waited and got rejected for being 11 pounds too thin! hahahha. So I appealed. I was denied. I then got a court date! I went in there and represented myself with a Judge, A lawyer and a Doctor. I was sooo close to winning and I fought to the end, but in the end the law won because of the fact that I was 11 pounds away. (which I have since gained hahaha) Anyway, i started researching self-pay and figured I would get it done in the states and pay around $15,000. I researched and started reading about VSG. I called my friend and asked her, and she said "VSG is awesome, a girl in my gastric class had it done and had NO SIDE EFFECTS, lost the weight fast and felt amazing" so I thought, hey, I am going to look into this. I came to this forum and was amazed at the way everyone loved their sleeve. So I decided it was for me. I started researching American docs figuring I would NEVER and I mean NEVER go to Mexico for Surgery. But the more I researched the more I realized that people who went to Aceves loved him and he was better than the American surgeons. So I figured I was not going to NOT go to a good Doctor, just to NOT go to Mexico. So I researched online and found that he was great, his staff was great and his Hospital was great. It was easy from that point on. Then I found out it was half as expensive and only three hours from Phoenix. My nail in the coffin.I am 10 days away and wished it was tommorow!
