Researched it for months, found the right Doctor and US based company to coordinate everything for me. Now on pre op diet, fly out to San Diego Monday morning will be picked up by our driver with a lighter me, heading over the border for same day surgery in TJ. Very excited, going alone, not scared at all. Be back home next Friday. Will post my experience when I return home:)

Did anyone watch the video of the VSG surgery before surgery?

Great, I'm Aimee, I'll be looking for you:)
-
Getlownurse, I believe you will be in TJ same time as me, my surgery is June 17, is yours the 18th at Mi doctor??

Haven't been there yet. But a lot of these hotels have in house water filtration systems. Even tho they have that I still will not drink the tap or have ice, just to be on the safe side:)

I didn't think it was that bad, but everyone's different. There wasn't any blood so I guess that may have made it tolerable for me... But it didn't change my mind, thank goodness!
-
I did and just wondered if anyone else has... I am pre op.
-
Yay!!! Congrats so happy for you:)

Olivia, I think you can ask to see your removed stomach after the surgery. I've seen people post on here the pics of theirs. Just a thought, you could always ask your doctor...

Thanks pixie & July & Laura, I took all your advice and bought it all:) I got the discounts on the shakes too, that really helped so much!!!!
-
Heading to Costco looking for suggestions for tolerable vitamins, shakes or anything else I may need...

Very excited for you! Prayers for a speedy recovery!

Thanks for the feedback! I was told that after this surgery that the possibility of having gall bladder probs is high due to the fact that the gall bladder is used to taking the excess fats, could go bad after not getting all that crap since we are eating better food and not fatty foods. With that in mind, the thought of coming back from Mexico after this surgery and the possibility of having to be cut open again freaks me out!!!
