Plastics in 13 days!



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to update. I haven't been on here in a while. I've been trying not to get too excited so, I've avoided all PS message boards. Now that I am leaving in 10 days and having surgery in 13 I'm trying to learn as much as I can!

I decided on Dr. Sauceda, mostly because of the quality of his work, the aftercare and just genuinely feeling comfortable. Not to mention he has quite a group of supportive people!

Any suggestions about being in MX, or any other tips you guys might have is more than welcome!

I've been to MX twice for surgery. Once for plastics and once for my VSG. Both experiences were very positive. Post-plastics I didn't actually get out much to see or do anything because I was soooooooo incapacitated. Late in my two week stay, two of my nurses did take me to the beach one day just to walk along the boardwalk and that was really nice.

After my VSG, I was much more mobile and able to get out and do a little, but I was only there for 2 days post-op. The most I did was walk around in the area of my hotel and visit a corner store for some Vitamin Water.

In general though, I would say that all of the people were extraordinarily friendly and helpful. I felt very comfortable and safe the entire time. I was shocked how much it's exactly like being in the US in terms of the stores and restaurants that you see while driving around. I did try to tip well while I was there, because it was clear to me that everyone was working very hard and doing an excellent job.

      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!!
