Traveling To Mexico Alone For Gastric Sleeve Surgery
There was alot of people who went by themselves and had the suport of the other patients at the clinic. When I went, I started a forum post with the date I was going and asked people who were going to be there the same time. I got several responses and knew some people before I arrived. I also made new friends while I was there and we exchanged emails.

How Easy Is It To Cause A Gastric Sleeve Surgery Leak?
I heaved the first 2 days after surgery and hadn't any leaks. Although I don't recomend pushing the sleeve you can see that 2 days of vomitting didn't hurt it, so it is durable. I also agree with Lissa in trying to not get to the full feeling, you'll be happier in the long run.

People Who Say "just Pretend You Had The Gastric Sleeve Surgery And You'll Lose Weight"
I had this conversation with my husband. He asked out of fear of loss of my life from surgery. Then I asked him to remember any meal we had togeather, if I ate a lot? He feels I ate like a bird before surgery ( he is a man that can eat what ever he wants and still has the 32 inch waist from high school ) . I told him that I was always hungry. I was always trying to keep the weight off and I thought of food as one should think of God. No one should be tortured like that. VSG takes away the desire to fill up. It's such a pleasure to wake up in the morning and not want to hunt and kill the refridgerator.
