    I am glad it is going well so far! I have read about some of the protein waters too..not sure how they will taste? But, am going to try some! I might pick some up on my Costco run this weekend. I will let you know if I try any! That's nice you will get additional information with your sister too. [emoji4][emoji106]

    Hello Dr. Illan! Ok, that would be great! I am in contact with Henry now, and can set something up with him I am guessing? Also, I watched the video on you tube of you performing the sleeve surgery, was great to watch and learn! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Just wanted to say so happy for you swanrose!! I have been thinking about going to dr. garcia for about 2 years...and i am scared, mostly about safety in Mexico, cause I just dont know how it will be down there. But, I am realizing I really need to just do it! So happy for everyone that has gone there and been able to change their life!

    Allergic Reaction?

    vickialess replied to hope4health's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    I work at a dermatology office...we see people with reactions to antibiotic ointment and bandage/tape all the time..we always have them change to Vaseline, and plain gauze with paper tape. You can put over-the-counter hydrocortisone on the rashy areas, not near the little incisions though. That should help calm the inflammation down..I hope that helps!!
