Is there a support group in Columbus, Ohio? If so, I would be interested in participating both pre and post op. Thanks!

Did anyone use Clinica San Juan? I've read that it's nice but I'm worried about pain management at a clinic vs. a hospital. I just want to make sure I'm not miserable in pain without the ability to get the necessary medicine. Thanks for the advice so far!

Did you ever have the surgery? Who did you choose? What was your experience like?

Hey everyone,

I'm new here but excited to be taking this next positive step in my life.

I will be traveling to Mexico for surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly in November for a VSG. I have only been at my job for 6 months so it is difficult for me to take off much time for the operation. I am planning on having the surgery on a Tuesday or Wednesday then going back to work the following Monday. I am only 28 years old and I am not severely obese. I have a BMI of 33 but several comorbidities, which is why I am doing this. I feel that these reasons put me on track for what I hope is a quick recovery.

Has anyone here gone back to work that soon after surgery? I won't be doing any heavy lifting or crazy activities.

I would love some feedback, suggestions, etc! Thanks so much
