I'm getting sleeved Oct 9 by his partner at Mi Hospital. I'll probally see you there! I am also traveling alone.

Hi everyone, I've decided to get my sleeve in Mexico and not tell anyone that I'm doing it. My husband knows and is very supportive! Problem is, he can't take any vacation for 9 months and I don't want to wait that long for surgery. I am thinking of going alone. Has anyone done this? Any feedback? I've had 2 c-sections and have healed extremely quickly with both. I'm actually looking forward to the time in the hotel sleeping and resting on my own. Thoughts?

I had originally been leaning toward the plication but then read how someone had a complication (plicated in Mexico) and how none of the local docs knew what to do with it. They converted to a sleeve to save her life. That's when I changed my mind to a sleeve.

There are so many doctors who perform this surgery! How do you know you have a great one? Is there a way to find out what a specific doctor's complication rate is? I'm wondering if there is a way besides asking, just to confirm that the information they might give would be accurate.

Great! Where did you get sleeved? Who was your doc?
