I have become more scares of crossing the border than the surgery. With everything on the news I will be happy just to make it to the hospital! My husband isn't helping. Every time he hears something about how bad the borders are getting he tells me ASAP!

How was everyones border crossing experience?

Sondra

It was fine. They just asked me why I was going to Mexico, why Mexico and not the US, who was my doctor (think he just wanted to see if I was lying) how much cash on hand, how I would pay since I had such liitle amount of cash (cashiers check), and how long was out stay.

It didn't take long at all. Maybe 15 min to get into Mexico. It looks kinda scary to be honest but it isn't. When we got there and the driver walked us in. He made sure to meet us up with someone else before leaving.

When we left it took an hour and half to get back into the states. Once we got to the gate it was pretty fast but it was a long line. They pretty much just asked why we were there and I think our passport did the rest of the talking for us. I was pretty out of it on the way back so I'm I don't remember word for word what they asked.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

I have relatives in Tijuana, so I travel there quite often. I dont know why people are so scared to go to Mexico. Tijuana is just as dangerous or as safe as any other city in the world. Besides, Dr Rodriguez, for what my friends have told me, has a whole team to take care of his patients: he has a driver who picks you up in San Diego and drives you all the way to the hospital in a very nice, comfortable van. The hospital is located in the best area of Tijuana, where all the restaurants and medical offices are, and other major hospitals are also located in the area. Hotels very close by.

I've been in Tijuana many times and I have never seen gunmen standing in each corner.:)

As the time approaches me to have surgery, I'm definitely considering Tijuana and Dr Rodriguez.

Hi Sondra,

I am considering the same date. Jessica said that date is still open. As far as TJ goes, we should be fine. A ton of my friends go down there for business and whatnot and are fine. Maybe I'll see you down there!

hi!

no she had the sleeve...

Well that is really good that she is doing well. So are you going to get the sleeve also? Are you going to Dr Rod as well?

I thought I had my mind made up on the plication surgery but I keep hearing that the sleeve you can loose weight fast and also there is not alot of people that has had the plication for more than a few months.

But again I am very scared of the leaks and the complications you can have with the sleeve.

So I am having a difficult time trying to figure out what surgery I will do.

Good luck on your surgery!

Lisa~

      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...

      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?
