    Hello, I am trying to remain calm but as the day is fast approaching, fear is trying to creep up and I start thinking, what if something goes wrong. I know I shouldnt focus on the bad stuff, I'm trying not to. I am so nervous!!!!!

    Hello I have been researching about Tijuana doctors nonstop. I have my mind on 2 for a VSG surgery. But I'm really concerned about scarring. My weight is 200 lbs BMI of 35. I don't think I will need a tummy tuck or any addional surgeries to remove skin because a lot of my weight is not primary in my stomach area. Anyone here can share their experience with scarring? Pictures 1 year post op? Thank you!!

    Concerned about scars

    k-athy replied to k-athy's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    Thank you for sharing. How long were you in Mexico? Do you think at 4 days post op you can be back at work? I'm thinking of taking 2 days off from work + 2 days on the weekend to recover and be back to work Monday. Am I crazy to think I can be back at work after 4 days post op? I had a C section and I was fine after 3 days. Of course not running but able to walk and wasn't in a lot of pain. I have a desk job, so I'm hoping it's possible.

    Who was your surgeon? Your scars don't look bad. Thanks for sharing! :-)

    Who was your surgeon? And when you had the rash were you able to get ahold of your surgeon about your complication and did he address it?

    Advice and Support Needed!

    Why is your surgery until October? Did they not have any availability before that?

    Who is your surgeon?

    I agree. If there were no complications or major problems. Why not recommend others? I think most people are concerned about complications more than anything than having a fancy hospital like in the states. Just saying.

    I am on the same boat as you. I am looking into Dr Illan too. My BMI is 35 and I don't want yo wait a year to see IF my insurance approves. I feel like my insurance won't either way because I'm not at 40 BMI. I also feel frustrated and not sure what to do. However, I've Been doing a lot of research and I'm between Dr illan and Dr Ariel Ortiz.

    If you don't mind me asking, who was your surgeon? I am looking into surgery in Mexico.

    For those who had surgery in March with Dr. Illian, how was your experience? How are you recovering so far?

    I am also thinking of having surgery with Dr. Illian, still doing research. Good luck!

    I see a lot of the responses are from last year. Anyone recently have gotten this single Incision surgery with Dr Illian or any other doctor in TJ? Thank you

    Did you have to go for a consultation first?

    May Sleevers in Mexico?

    k-athy replied to BigDaddy13's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    I am looking into getting surgery in Mexico. I have a friend who lives in Tijuana and she got her surgery done there and had great results. I'm afraid to tell my family because they will be very concerned.
