Hello:

I supposed to have my surgery on November the 18, I decided that I did not want to wait and I reschedule the:crying: surgery with Dr. Almanza for this friday, because I could not sleep, work, or think on anything more than my surgery. My mother cries every morning and said that something can happen to me in Mexico, because is nobody going with me. Please Advise! Help!:001_tongue:

That's one reason I did not tell my family, did not want to have to deal with drama and misconceptions. I did my research, went alone, and am enjoying the results. 40 lbs lost!

Tell her I went there by myself from Canada and I am 71 yrs old.

It is an adventure! You will always be safe there with escorts

and medical personnel at all times. You will actually have a good time, so relax and tell mom not to fret! You can handle it!

Cheers, Donna :001_tongue:

I know what your going through. I have my surgury next tue.

I'm dealing with the same thing. I'm sick of other peoples fears. I wish my family could say they are proud of me and happy for me. I know they just care but it keeps filling my head with doubt and I want this to be my own choice. I'm also having surgery with Dr. Almanza and i'll be there on the 19th. It's going to be okay. I think everyone is scared and it is a scary thing but it will be fine and then we can finally lose this weight and start living again. :lol0:

Maria - Welcome to VST and congratulations on your upcoming surgery. We'll look forward to following your success when you feel up to posting.

Show your mom this forum and let her read how many of us have gone to Mexico for their surgeries and have actually lived (sarcasm here) to tell their stories.

I didn't tell ANYONE that I was having the surgery or going to Mexico until AFTER the fact, as I didn't want to have to listen to their doubts, etc. and I didn't want to have to justify or explain myself - my body, my choice.

Mexico is so safe and wherever you go, some one will always be with you.

I did go with my husband but aside from that I did not tell anyone back home. And still haven't. Right now everyone thinks that I am home with a sprained ankle. I am doing this to give myself enough healing, stress free time and to get familiar with my new stomach.

I will tell everyone . . . later, once I have fully recovered.

And guess what? I am already 6lbs down from last Thursday!!!

It really is safe and the results are already fantastic!
