I did it by myself in Tijuana, Pompeii Surgical. It was a bit different, but the staff was great, very friendly, and they always had a translator available for a couple of the nurses. It can be a tad scary just because I couldn't speak their language. The doctor spoke perfect English, so that put me at ease. I questioned some of their nurse practices because they weren't the same as here.
Get off the pain meds as quickly as possible. I was on narcotics and anti-nausea, but the anti-nausea didn't work while I was on narcotics for pain. I asked them to withhold the pain meds and the nausea went away very quickly. I felt very good after that. I haven't had to take any pain meds since. One of the gals there the same day as me was off pain meds 4 hrs after surgery, her recovery went better than mine sine she went off the pain meds so much sooner.
I would suggest you bond very quickly with one of the other patients there so you can be each other's support. Good luck and speedy recovery!

I have scheduled with Pompeii Surgical feb 20th Care to join? I’m looking for a sleeve buddy lol

Anyone had their surgery at Pompeii Surgical Center in Tijuana? I have just been approved and will be scheduling my surgery date soon. I am just nervous as to what is to be expected?- like how was the travel into Mexico? -who do you go see for your post op appointments when you’re back in the Us? - is the facility clean? - who has had Dr. Quinnones perform their VSG? - is their a lot of pain afterwards?
Any and all comments would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
