I'm from Vegas too. Going in for surgery on 11/27. Hubby had his 7/8 and down 65 +/- pounds. When he was on the puréed phase, I made mashed cauliflower. Better for Protein intake. Added garlic and some salt. Loved reading all your insights. I'm so ready for this!

My husband and 4 other extended family members went through a lighter me. They've all had great results. I'm going down on 11/27 for mine.

I had mine in Tijuana. Would do it again in a heart beat. Very positive, no real pain and no complications. Lost 128 lbs in 6 months.

Just wanted to add my experience here. I had my surgery in Mexico with Dr. Ramos Kelly and it was a great experience. I was nervous about going outside the country but my insurance does not cover bariatric surgery at all. I have managed to find a dr and bariatric center here at home that is doing my follow up care - so while it might be difficult, it can actually happen. The team that I am seeing is affiliated with a teaching hospital/medical school. I had to provide them my op-report from Dr. Kelly and then I was accepted.
So far I have had no issues whatsoever and my meetings with the nurse practitioner have been great. I will also say that I have seen a number of people who had their surgery here in the States and still had horrible experiences. Regardless of where you have your surgery, it's important to feel comfortable and confident in your surgeon and the team caring for you.
I was provided blood thinners in Mexico and I made sure I walked as much as possible in the two weeks after surgery. I was also in good health before surgery and so I think that helped a lot. Good luck with your decision - I would just say that it is possible to find surgeons, nurses etc and facilities in Mexico that are just as good as here in the US.

Hi everyone! Just joined yesterday. I am scheduled for surgery on 11/27, the day after Thanksgiving. Yep. I must like torture since I will be on liquid diet day before, day of and surgery date. Oh well. I'm ready. My husband had his sleeve surgery in July and is already down 65 pounds. So I have him to walk me through the surgery and such. I am going to same dr he had surgery with. The dr has actually done 5 people in our extended family. Our insurance doesn't cover it and I have high bmi and pre-diabetes. So I have no issues going to Mexico to have mine.
