No, you will be just fine, just use a tampon

go to Mexico?

I was a size 20, I was fine on all my flights, except the last one coming home, the belt didn't fit. I was so embarrassed, the flight attendant was really nice and secretive about giving me an extender. I wanted to cry, but im sure the flight attendants are used to people needing them.

I had to so the first night I gave them cash, but when I got back from the hospital, I didn't have enough, and my credit card didn't have 100 on it, so my coordinator just signed for me luckily

Thanks guys!

How I did it, was fill out my contact info on the website, then the coorinator will email u. Then u pay your deposit to save your date, mine was 750 but ive read some is 500, then pay the rest when u actually get there by cashiers check. You just have to ask if its a hospital. I've heard not so good things about jerusalem hospital and dr almanza, you want to find a doctor who isn't doing a ton of surgeries per day. Also u need to ask alot of questions and do research.

I used mexico bariatric center, and had dr, cabrera and valenzula. Surgery at mi doctor. I stayed at the marriot the nights I wasn't in the hospital..sooo nice! I flew home on the 6th day. I didn't have a passport, just my id and birth certificate and was fine. What you need to do is decide on what company and doctor you want to go through. I think there is 4 or 5 , mexico bariatric center, ready 4 change, a lighter me are a few. You will have a coordinator that helps you through ever step of the process. Just make sure you go to a hospital,not a clinic! I would go back to mexico for any surgery.

I went by myself and im actually glad, then I didn't feel like I had to worry about anyone or entertain anyone. Also I think it made my recovery better because I had to do things on my own. Also I was sooo anxious to fly since I hadn't before. I took a chill pill. I was so afraid the seatbelt wouldn't fit,well I was fine, til the last plane on my way home. It wouldn't fit, I was mortified! I quietly ask the flight attendent and she brought me an extender sort of secretively so I didn't get embarrassed.

I love love love dr cabrera and valenzuela!!

Tampons! If there is a remote chance u could start your period take some! It was a nightmare trying to get some at the hospital, also a robe for when you are walking the halls, I brought a nightgown from home and changed out of my hospital gown, much more comfy. Flip flop or slippers for when ur walking too.

I went to Tijuana by myself for surgery. I never once felt unsafe or scared. I would go back in a second, in fact I was sad my husband wasn't there with me to explore. Don't let her worry you, you will be just fine

I did 5 days post op, I was fine:)

Oh there are some that do, actually a few I even ask if they were from there cuz their english was so good. but then there were some who didn't, but there was always other people close by if we needed translation. It was clean too

I went to mi hospital. I really liked it, and the bed was comfortable to me. Some of the nurses spoke great english, some not so much,but I could always get my point across haha. There was alot of street noise/honking..but it didn't bother me at all.

It was sutured with disolvable stitches, ya its pretty opened, bu if I pinch it I can close It ..sorry gross haha

Awww great
