Let me back up and give you a little history of myself and why I made the decision to have this procedure. I was over 350 pounds and had been diagnosed with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. All of my physicians told me that if I did not drastically reduce my weight there was a good chance I would not see my daughter graduate from high school. So naturally they tried to get this procedure approved by my insurance company. It was denied, appealed, denied, appealed, and denied again. I then started looking for alternatives. Surgery here in the states ranged in cost from 17,000 to 36,000 dollars plus transportation, hotel, and rental car. I then turned to Mexico. I reviewed several potential surgeons and settled on the Bariatric Group. The doctor spoke fluent English, had genuine concern for my well being, a competent courteous staff, and the facility was immaculately clean. I was only hospitalized overnight and was able to return to work the following Monday morning. To this day I have experienced very little pain or discomfort, my scars are hardly noticeable, and I have a renewed lease on life. I believe if you need this surgery then you would be hard pressed to find a surgeon who will do a better job. |
