Peeps do it all the time, plus this site supports it. I personally went to Med school in Tijuana, and bed side manners and care are better than most places in the US. You will be great.

<-- sleeved 7/22/16 Mexico. Would do it again 100000000 times. Awesome experience. Zero complications.

Don't be nervous I'm going Nov 22. I live in SoCal and a lot of people here go to Mexico for all sorts of surgery. Who's your doc?

All you need to bring to the hospital is your toothbrush/paste, one loose fitting outfit, gas x strips, and I brought a neck pillow & small pillow for my lap for the drive home that I thought were life savers. You get a private room for the night you're there and it has Netflix :). The only other things I'd bring to the hotel are a few comfortable changes of loose clothes and a good book or two - because you'll definitely get bored. There's TV and movies, but I was grateful to have some reading material. Don't bring anything to eat. The hotel supplies your "meals" with your stay. Oh, and your cell phone & charger. The hotel has free wifi.

Be prepared to be very well taken care of. Everyone speaks English, cares deeply and makes you feel extremely comfortable. It's a great experience because you'll get dropped off with 4-5 others getting sleeved as well. When I was there, we all supported each other, "ate" together after the surgery and went for walks to the local shopping area. It's so nice to not feel like you're in it alone :) good luck! I'm sure you can't wait for it to be done!!

      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!!
