To be able to buy designer jeans!!! Or any designer clothes for that matter. Having my husband be able to lift me up. Not feeling like everyone is staring at me when I go out. Not saying "no" to doing things because I know I'm too heavy or uncomfortable. I could go on for days. LOL

Hello Everyone. I am having VSG surgery done is Tijuana in January and looking for some answers on aftercare. I have read numerous times that Doctors won't look after patients who have had surgeries in other countries. Is this true for Canadians, or is this just an American policy? I'm hoping there are no issues but obviously there is always a risk, just like any surgery. My other question is, has anyone had their gallbladder out the same time as their VSG surgery? I have some issues with mine now so my surgeon is recommending I get it taken out while he is doing the VSG. I feel like I could have this taken care of in Canada but maybe I should just get it done to save the hassle? Any information is appreciated!

I'm not going through any company in Canada. I have booked it myself with Dr. Ramos Kelly. I did look into Weight Loss Forever but after doing some research I didn't feel I needed to pay 16k to have them book it for me, when I could do it myself. I am not scheduled until January so maybe if I talk to my doctor she will help me with aftercare. Thanks for the info!

I'm also curious as to this question. How long did everyone wait? I will be 31 when I have my surgery so I don't want to wait too much longer after that if possible.

I was hoping some of the people who have listed problems with their surgeries could let us know where they had them done? I think a lot of people are in the process or researching Doctors and this may help with our search. I am heading to Mexico in January and would like to know if the doctor I've chosen has had any issues. He's very honest with me and told me that every doctor has had a patient with issues but the percentage is very low. Any information would be great!
