Hi There, Everything went great. I flew out on a Sunday, had some preop labs in TJ and then surgery bright and early on Monday. I had the gastric bypass. I was in the hospital until Thursday morning and released to the hotel. Then I flew home on Friday. I was really sore and tired when I got home, but at the same time, I left TJ at 930 am and did not get back to my house until 130am. Everything with the surgery went great. Much better care than I've ever had at a hospital stateside. I'm almost 6 months out and down a smidge more than 100 pounds. Before I left, I spoke with my PCP and she was completely on board with the whole having surgery in Mexico. She actually had 2 other patients who had went to TJ and had the same doctor. I live in a small town, so that was pretty impressive to me. Dr. V does good work. My PCP did all my followup labs at 3 months and will do them again next month for my 6 month followup and other than a little bit low on Vitamin D, everything looked good. Having this surgery was the best thing I have ever did.

I am also having gastric bypass with Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela at Hospital MI Doctor through Mecico Bariatric Center, but not until 2/23/2015.
