WORTH IT$6,000

This has been the best decision of my life. I have been overweight since the age of 7, and for the first time in my life I am not "obese". I have lost 80lbs and am on target for another 20, give or take.

I no longer have high blood pressure (which I was diagnosed with at age 14, I am 40 now) or type two diabetes.

Dr B is sweet, professional, and skilled. His office staff is amazing, and the follow up doctor, Dr is a doll.

I highly recommend them to anyone considering this procedure.

Thanks for sharing with us. Did you find it easy after surgery, changing your eating habits etc?

You look great!

That is so exciting! I'd love to be able to get rid of my type 2 diabetes. Did you really pay 6000$ in Dallas? Was that with insurance or without insurance?

Hi Mommy4lipo,

Are you considering a sleeve gastrectomy or a different WLS?

Best regards,

Kirsty

Congrats! I am going to go get my sleeve in Mexico in 25 days. I have type 2 diabetes and am so ready to be done with it!

There was some insurance for another procedure done at the same time. The 6k was the difference for the sleeve part that wasn't covered.
