I had my surgery on 11/11/16 and I flew the following week to CT for a week long vacation for Thanksgiving. I was fine! Just had to plan ahead for meals, which was basically soft purée foods that week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery went just fine! I have lost a total of 65 pounds so far from my heaviest. 15 were from the pre-op diet and since surgery I've lost 50lbs.

Way to go!! That's awesome! What have you been doing/eating to achieve that amount of weight loss? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes. Everything happened as soon as I got there and got checked into my room. Before surgery, I was researching different companies that provide the surgery all throughout Mexico. But I found BeLiteWeight to be the best, even though it is slightly more expensive than other places in Mexico to get it done. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I flew into El Paso on Fri morning, the day of my surgery. And left Sunday morning. So two nights. I tried to get up every two hrs or so to walk the halls and I would try and do 3 "laps" each time. By Monday/Tuesday I was back to my full mobile self. A little slower than normal but I was constantly moving. I went back to work Wednesday. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was just sleeved on 11/11 with Dr. Rodriguez at Star Medica. It was the best decision I have ever made. The only downside to being sleeved in MX is the language barrier speaking with the nurses. But if you know Spanish, then you'll be fine. I used a medical company called BeLiteWeight (google it) and Teri was my patient coordinator. I have no complaints with the company or the hospital/doctors. Everything went perfectly.
