I am taking HRT now and was told by my surgeon to quit taking them 2 weeks prior to surgery. Hoping the hot flashes and moods will not be too bad. Wondering if I can get back on them right after surgery?

I am set up for surgery with Dr. Camelo Ramos and was happy to see this posting about him and his team. I also could not find much on him but what I have read has been all good. If anyone is going for surgery around March 7th let me know and we can support each other, I will be going alone.

I am set up for surgery for the sleeve on March 7th in Mexico. Anyone else going then? Would like a surgery buddy! Getting ready to start the dreaded pre-op this week. Anyone use Florence hospital in Tiajuana?

Thank you for replying with a step by step accounting of how your surgery went through Medical Tourism. I feel very reassured with all the information.

Hi fellow sleevers I am a a 55 year old female who has struggled with weight and yo-yo diets for years now. I have just committed to having surgery through Medical Tourism in Tiajuana as my insurance has such strict requirements I can not meet them at this time. I hope to lose about 70 pounds altogether. Its scheduled for March 7, 2015. I am going alone and its now hitting me that I have really started this process for the gastric sleeve surgery and I am excited but really scared about it. I don't have any support from friends or family as they can't imaging doing something drastic like being cut on for weight loss...any support is appreciated. If anyone is having surgery around the same time in Tiajuana, feel free to contact me as I am looking for a surgery buddy. I guess I should look at the benefits of it all and not be nervous. What kind of things should I be aware of after surgery and being in Mexico?
