You guys are great.. I cant say thank you enough for informing me and helping me figure this stuff out. I'm so excited!

I read and hear some people and they say the gas after surgery wasnt that bad. Then there are others who's gas was so bad and they are stil having pains. I've noticed that every doctor has a few slight diferances in thier pre op diets. I wonder if there is anything someone could do (pre-op) to help ease the pain of gas after surgery.

Surgery Date April 14th

Mexico Dr. Mario Almanza

I would wear pants and put those weights that wrap around your ankle's on. Doc will never see it and it will put your weight up there enough to get your surgery!!

I agree... I'm not telling anyone except my son and husband. I don't care what anyone has to say and I don't want everyone talking about me. Its my business, my choice and I love it! I go on April 14,11 to Dr. Amanza. I cant wait!

I traveled to Mexico from Canada all by myself. I am a very independent person so it did not bother me one bit to have anyone with me. Actually I did not tell anyone at home till I got home that I had the surgery. It was better this way. I would do it again the same way if I had a chance to do it all over again.

Hello! I'm so excited too! I'm going to Dr. Almanza (he is in the same clinic as Dr. Ponce DrLeon in Tijuana. My surgery is April 14th. When are you going?

Hello everyone! I am so excited and scared but happy to be soon joining you all as a loser lol. I am from NC and since 2005, I have wanted the surgery. Unfortunately, at that time I was at 34 BMI with no health issues. Fast foward to 2009 I was at 43 but no insurance anymore. Today I am at 41 and as my my says, have cash, will travel lol. I know there are many other docs in Mexico that are better known but the one I chose seems to put me at ease and also is what my budget can afford since aftercare will be self-pay as well.

I have been on a low carb diet since the 7th and lost a total of 18 pounds so far but will fluctuate a day or so before the number changes. I don't mind that as long as it goes down sooner or later. But the pre-op diet is coming this Sunday so I am really gonna miss having the option of a meal if I want for about the next couple months though I am sure my heart will love the weight loss!

Anyway, just wanted to say hello and though I doubt anyone is, just seeing if anyone else is gonna be using or used Dr. Ponce DeLeon in Tijuana?
