I will just relay a short story about my experince in Mexico. I am a nurse and have worked in surgery for 12yrs. I had my lap band removed and a conversion to VSG. I had complications in Mexico and did not feel the hospital was adequately equipped to deal with serious issues. The nurses spoke very broken English and there where no CT scanners or MRI machines nor ICU beds. IF everything goes well Mexico is a great option. My best friend had same procedure same day. Did great. For the 95% of people that go and do perfect Mexico is a God send (we were both self pay) but it's a choice you ultimately have to make yourself. I am now 4 weeks post op and have a 1mm stricture in my stomach and require further surgery. The same complication could happen at ant hospital to any surgeon the difference is in the US the hospital and staff have the equipment and knowledge to handle just about anything..... so my point is this. Think hard and long about how willing you are to accept the consequences of your decision. [emoji738]

I'm sorry to hear you had such a long drawn out process. I imagine that would definitely contribute to feeling over it.
After tomorrow it'll all be worth it.
7 weeks post op myself and all the negatives of the liquid and puréed stage feel like a distant memory.
Don't forget you will hit stalls but don't be discouraged. Just try to stick to Water and Protein requirements!

I agree.... we all know it happens but it still sucks!
In a week it'll feel like a distant memory. [emoji4]

Im 25 days post op and I haven't lost anything in 9 days. I didn't even realize I was in a stall until checked the scale today.
Quite discouraging.

For those of you who had stalls - did you stick to same diet plan? Or did you change a little to get back to losing again?
