My nutritionist & surgeons team told me to focus on 60g protein for now. However as I’m tracking this now to make sure I get the 60g I find myself wanting to track all the macros.

Even worse, I'm going on my own for surgery because we can't afford a baby sitter and pet sitter. submitted by /u/that1girlfrombefore [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

so, i’ve decided on Obesity Control Center (OCC) in Tijuana. my insurance won’t cover it & i don’t want to wait any longer. i want to do financing, but when i was doing my phone consultation i was told that i have to pay the $500 deposit before i can apply for any type of financing. can anyone tell me their experience with financing this surgery if you did it in MX? i want to get some more information before i pay this deposit but i’ve tried my research & i don’t get much info. do they check credit? is it “buy now, pay later” type model & if so, which companies offer that? i was t ..read more

I am going to get the gastric sleeve in a few months, but don’t feel comfortable telling anyone but my immediate family that I am having it done.
