I'm sure there are lots of us in the Lower Mainland. I had VSG surgery on March 11, 2014.

Hi Mayra, I wrote a bit more about my experience on another post you sent me; but, just wanted to say here that I had VSG surgery in Tijuana with Dr. Osuna, Dr. Lopez's wife. Everything went fine, I had no pre-existing conditions or concerns (weighed 200 at 5'5"). The hospital and hotel were also problem free experiences with good hospital care. Surgery date March 11, 2014.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Congratulations Kori! Same doc, same hospital! I'm on my 3 days clear liquids now, day one down, two to go! Surgery in 3 more sleeps.

Hi Kori, nice to hear someone else with Dr.Osuna. Did you choose her for your surgeon or was she suggested to you by a coordinating Center?

Thanks for checking in! All the best ... You are on the home stretch!

Cheering you on. Praying all goes well.

Does anyone know if MI Doctor Hospital in Tijuana provides underwear for patients during their stay? I have heard that it is very common to have uncontrollable liquid bowel movements for a day or so post surgery.

Is there anyone else on here scheduled for March 11 with Dr. Jacqueline Osuna? At MI Doctor Hospital and staying at Merriott.

Wow! I needed to hear this about now!!! Thank you!!!

Congratulations!

Trying to find a company that I can purchase a policy with. Is there such a thing? My surgery is in Tijuana on March 11th

Mistysj, thank you for this! My surgery date is March 11.

Thank you Breathless! Hard to believe that I will be in Mexico in 10 days! I have cataract surgery on the 5th (there's no real healing time for that), also my daughters baby shower and baby dedication this weekend ... so hopefully these things will help for the time to pass.

Patsypatrice, I hope you are doing well. I am from BC, Canada, and have a home about 45 minutes from you in San Tan Valley. One day to be my winter retirement home and by then, 6 years away, I intend to be fit and healthy and active! I have done several half marathons, but, the weight comes on when I'm not in training. But not for long! My surgery date is March 11 in Tijuana.
