I used Dr Elias Ortiz through ALM. My surgery was March 27 and I doing really well! I do wish I had taken 3 weeks off because I do a pretty physically demanding job and I was EXHAUSTED when I got home. As long as you can make peace with "Mexico time" and how everything takes a little longer down there- you'll be fine! (I used to live in Hawaii and Island time is a very real thing-it's similar to that)

VSG 3/27 Dr. Elias Ortiz/Mexico

I kept mine a secret until I got home. I work with the public and everyone has an opinion. 🙄 Especially about going to Mexico. Now that I'm home I tell everyone lol. They see that I'm doing well- and they can't really argue with results!

I was really happy with my experience. I only told few people before I went because one of the people I did tell had me so scared after I spoke to her! She had seen some Dateline program from 15 years ago about Mexico surgeries and had to tell me about it. I knew I had done plenty of research and talked to a lot of people on Facebook who had gone and they assured me it was going to be fine! It was. Minus having to get used to the "relaxed" concept of time down there-once I accepted that, things were great!
My surgery was 3/27 and now that im home and doing really well, I tell everbody!
*side note- I work a physically demanding job and do wish I had taken 3 weeks off. My first week back to work was exhausting.

I've been using vitamin patches from PatchMD because my stomach cannot handle Vitamins yet. I get so nauseated. I haven't done my 3 month blood work so I can't tell you the results of them yet- but I feel pretty good so far.

That makes sense. It makes me feel better that others are experiencing the same thing. I feel bad for my hubby!

I will be using Dr. Elias Ortiz at ALM. My surgery is scheduled May 8

It's not at all uncommon...we store estrogen in our body fat, and as we start to mobilize and use that fat for fuel, the estrogen is released. It was bad enough for me that I resumed having periods after menopause. As my weight loss slowed, I'm amenorrheic again.
Two menopauses for the price of one

Maybe! My app when I had an android phone let me do more than the app I'm using on my iPhone. Either way, going directly to the persons profile on apps or the direct website should allow you to block. Good luck and welcome! This site is full of a lot of honest people who make it comfortable to be open here. Like family, there are always a select few who are a bit too comfortable speaking every thought. Lol

I'm enjoying most of the forum so far, but there are a few people who seem rude or overdramatic. Is there a way to not see their comments or posts?

Omgosh thank you SO MUCH!! I haven't I intalled the app because I just found the forum today- but I will. Maybe the app will let me post a profile pic as well! Lol
