Last time I went there in November we just zipped through, no one stopped us. Ask the co-ordinator you are with and they will know. If you have not booked your surgery I can recommend someone.

A lot of Doctors have a floor in a medical building or other building as a surgical clinic. Doctors here in Canada have same.

Let me reassure you. I came back from Mexico after plastic surgery and my garment caused me a rash. It spead and was itching so bad I wanted to tear my skin off. I went to emerg. First of all the doctir could nit believe how nice and thin and low the scar was after just 1 week post tt. Then I told him I had surgery in San Diego because my dr has san diego address. He didnt care. Just gave me perscription and went to next patient.

THANK YOU I guess they will have to help me but will probably look at me funny. I never had any surgery and my stress level is very high right now I am doing this in secret so have nobody to talk to except my husband but he soon will be sick of me

My friend and her 2 friends had surgery in Mexico as well. Their doctor has a surgical centre and you recover for 2 days in a rexovery house surrounded by registered nurses.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
