I am also from Texas, when are you planning your procedure?

Good luck to you guys!

 

Hi everyone!

 

I'm Michelle and I am 30 years old. I'm from Orlando, FL. My sleeve is my 30th bday present to myself. I want to be healthy and more active (and skinny but I feel kind of bad admitting that! lol). I have been an ER RN for 10 years and of course I'm getting alot of grief from my co-workers about having surgery in Mexico. But I'm not letting that bother me!

 

Surgery date: 4/10/15

 

 

 

Surgeon: Elias Ortiz

Hospital: Mi Doctor in TJ

 

 

Ht: 5' 6.5"

HW 262

CW 255

GW 160ish

 

I start my 2 week pre-op diet next Friday and I'm kind of excited but dreading that part!! I'm having my gallbladder removed when I have my sleeve as well.

 

I am also with Dr. Ortiz on April 25th, I have been getting a lot of grief from friends and family about going to Mexico as well...

I also want to have my gallbladder removed the same time as the sleeve, is this common? I haven't set my surgery date yet still researching have any of you seen any post about Medical Tourism and Dr Mario Camelo Ramos?

Thank you both very much..

I am Tonya I am From Texas and I'm 45 years old.. I am researching planning to schedule in Mexico hoping to have the sleeve done around the 1st part of June. I would love to find others going the same time.. I'm very scared and nervous.. I need to lose about 75lbs.. I am little overwhelmed because I don't know which hospital are safe or what doctor to really use. I been in contact with three different ones the first I found was Dr. Mario Almanza @ weight loss agent at Jerusalem hospital and that's a no deal for me, I'm scared of Jerusalem hospital. I want to go to a real hospital with a real professional emergency staff.. I have heard of one to many bad things at hospital Jerusalem. The other is Medical Tourism at Florence Hospital with Dr Mario Camelo Ramos.. So I'm looking for more info and will glad take any and all your suggestions.. Please help

What's a endo? nobodies told me I needed one..Does everyone need this?

I also would like to schedule in early June, I've just been very reluctant to commit. Because I to have the same concerns and also worry about Anastasia, the hospitals in the US make such a big deal about it. So I'm extremely nervous about how qualified the anesthesiologist are? Idk it could just be me I'm an Extreme worry wart! All info is appreciated the good and the bad

Hi I'm also looking the same Dr and Hospital. I have been corresponding with Cyrel.. I'm just so nervous and kind of scared to make the commitment. I know I need to do this.. I'm hoping I can also meet a life long friend/friends going the same time as myself.. I thinking I'll go around first of June.. I've been reading your threads Glo I'm also past my 40's how did your surgery go?
