  1. I've vomited every single time I try to drink even 1 drink after eating.
  2. Florence!! It's amazing there! I can't say enough! I had surgery with Dr. Camelo and I can't go on and on enough about how wonderful my experience was! Everyone was so kind and I felt like we all were long lost friends. You will love it!

    Baldness is in my future .... :/

    Get your iron level checked! Had mine checked and it was pretty much non-existent. After some iron infusions, I'm back to normal.
  4. Dr. Camelo Ramos in Mexico. Amazing experience! Will recommend to everyone I know!
  5. I can't say enough how wonderful my experience has been. I, like most of you, was extremely skeptical on coming to Mexico for a gastric sleeve. My family and friends thought I was crazy too. I chose Mexico Bariatrics Center for my surgery. From day 1 of interest, the patient coordinator Cyrel was there to help and answer all my questions. She was great! I flew from Texas to San Diego alone yesterday morning. I was picked up from the airport by a driver who works for MB. Border patrol didn't even stop us, which I was kind of glad because I had only a BC and DL. Even though I was told if would be fine, I was nervous about not having a passport. I came straight to the hospital and from the second I walked in, I was put at ease by so many happy smiling faces. I went on to have lab work, chest x-Ray and an EKG. Everyone here has been so wonderful. I was incredibly nervous but they made sure to ease my nerves and keep me calm. A little Valium does the trick! ???? I came out of surgery with a lot of pain, they all were diligently working to easy my pain. Some of the nurses were even in tears because they hate to see their patients in pain. Last night I was up walking and trying to move as much as possible. The gas pains are pretty rough! This morning I slept quite a bit though I had several come in and check on me. I had my drain out early because it was giving me some unnecessary pain. Today I started my diet of juice and Gatorade. It's easy to swallow but some spasming when it hits my new (tiny ????) stomach. They are all so caring here. I will move to another part of the hospital/hotel tomorrow. If you are having any doubts, Dr. Camelo and his staff are amazing!!! I would recommend them to anyone!
  6. I had surgery yesterday and just now starting liquids again. I can swallow just fine but as soon as it hits my stomach, it spasms something horrible!! How long should this last and is there anything I can do to help?

    Leaving tomorrow!

    Thank you!! I'm trying to pack, set out things for the kiddos while I'm gone, shop, etc.. I'm so exited!!! Thank you for the kind words! Dr. Camelo at Mexico Bariatrics
  9. I head out for Mexico tomorrow for my gastric sleeve!!! I'm so excited!!
  10. Yes, I'm a NICU RN with a lower BMI so I'm never going to get approved in the states. Honestly, from the testimonials and all the research, Mexico would be my first choice anyway. I can't wait!!!
  11. I can't wait! I'm a little anxious but I'm so excited!!!
