Yes, my plan is to get in and get out. I don't feel a strong desire to do the touristy things. I'd rather save that for a family vacation when I've lost some weight and can do some of the really fun things. Like put on a bathing suit!

I am planning to go to Mexico and making sure I have everything in order money wise. I know I have to pay for surgery, the deposit, plane tickets, possibly a hotel one night before and one after in San Diego, food for companion while traveling, and of course some extra money just in case. Since I'll be on a pre op and post op diet I figure I can bring pretty much anything I need with me to mix into water to drink. Is there anything else you had to pay for while in Mexico? Is there something I'm not thinking of? Thanks!

I have a nice pair of compression workout pants from torrid that are great. They are snug to get on but great for holding everything while moving/jumping around. Enell also has great sports bras for "well-endowed" persons. They are really the only one I've found that can hold the girls while bouncing around. A little pricey but so worth it.

Hello everyone! I'm planning gastric bypass surgery for mid-May 2023. My insurance doesn't cover it so I've been looking at Mexico. Which of course is causing my family to freak out, because "scary Mexico"! I think I have decided on Oasis of Hope. I like that you stay in the hospital the whole time instead of a hotel and my husband can stay right there with me. I'm terrified I won't be able to stick to the diet afterward and I'll lose weight and then gain it all back. I've done so many diets and every year I'm just a little bit bigger. So tired of being tired and uncomfortable. I saw a post of NSV's and about cried when one person said they fit a regular size towel around themself! I can't even remember the last time I could do that! Or fitting behind the steering wheel without it occasionally rubbing on my belly. Anyways, I thought I'd break the ice and post here. Remind myself that many many people do this and it isn't cheating and I'm not alone!
