I just got back from Mexico yesterday, had my surgery on the 28th with Dr. Kelly. For last minute items, I would recommend bringing some Gatorade powder packets rather than spending a fortune at the airport for it. If you booked your surgery through Trish then I would say you need nothing else as she will get you everything you need while in Mexico. Make sure to make copies of your driver's license, passport, and credit card and store them in your bags. I would also recommend packing light if your going to be moving your luggage after the surgery. I would also recommend taking some sweaters/sweat pants if you get easily get cold as it gets a little chilly at night in Tijuana. I took $250 dollars to Mexico with me and it covered an additional two nights I stayed at The Lucerna and some light souvenir shopping.

Hope your surgery goes well.

Take care,

Darren

Congratulations! I didn't have my sleeve in Mexico but I do visit there often. Everyone I meet is helpful and kind--I've never had a problem.

I would take one credit card with you just in case there is a complication and you need some extra money. Don't forget to call them and tell them your going to Mexico so your card doesn't get flagged if you need to use it. I had to stay over at the hospital an extra night and needed a credit card to change my flights. In addition, the hospital will not take a personal check.

Take care,

Darren

      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... :(
