Hi there!

I am just searching to see if anyone will be traveling to Mexico on December 8th to be sleeved on December 9th? These are the days that I will be there (Dec. 8th-13th) and I wanted to be able to have that buddy system for support. Thanks

My 2 daughters are scheduled for surgery Dec 8th but with dr. A Ortiz. They will be in the Marriott though. I think everyone stays there regardless which dr selected. I will be traveling with them.

Oh Great!!! Please let me know about your experience! I will keep you in my prayers :) You have less than 30 days to go! Are you getting nervous yet? I am sooo happy for you!

I'm going to see him exactly a month before you. I'm getting sleeved nov 6. I will post my experience after.

Yes, it will be good to meet up with you. I had the Sleeve surgery over 3 months ago and my daughters are also going with the sleeve procedure. We will be in the hotel the night of the 7th. When we get closer to that date I will get back in touch with you and we can set up a place and time to meet.

I am starting to get really nervous. I think about the "what ifs" a lot because I have two small children. I'm really scared of something going wrong. But I know this is for the best and its going to help be live a longer healthier life.

I can relate but now that I am on the other side as they say I can see how much this is all worth it! Going to Mexico has its own concerns and I cannot speak to that as my surgery was here in the US. BUT with that said I can tell you I have done tons of research and read ALL the posts here on this site. I truly think that there are good surgeons in Mexico, and for those that cannot pay the huge medical fees charged here in the US, I am soooo thankful that the Mexico self pay option is exactly that, an option! I am extremely close to both my daughters and I cannot imagine life without them. If I did not think Dr. A. Ortiz was a safe option I would certainly be holding them back. It will all go splendidly well and we can all be on the losers bench in January!

 I will be arriving in San Diego at 2:55pm, and then leaving at 6:15pm on the 13th. We should definitely get together while we are there. I am super excited!! I already started packing my carry on, lol. Have you started dieting yet? I have kinda started this week just to ease my way into it even though the plan I was given had me starting later.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
