So Happy and scared and excited

I have him a month after you, please keep me informed on your progress! and congrats and good luck... so exciting!!!!

I most certainly will..I know its important to hear from people that have actually been there

I'm August 14 and I'm super excited... Can't wait to hear how you do

I'm July 19th as well in Tijuana. I'll be getting sleeved by Dr Gonzalez

I will be in tj on aug 17 so PLEASE tell us how it is

I definately will tell you everything If it wasnt for the people I have read on here I wouldn't be doing this, I have canceled twice.. this time im going.

Yes I got mine done with doctor Almanza he did great job. Me and my hubby stayed in the that hotel it's very good. I got my surgery on may 11/12 and I m done 29 lbs in one month.

I had my surgery with almanza on may 23rd. I'm doing great. My top incision opened up as well as some of the other ladies. You may ask to have two stitches there. It's healing nicely though from the inside. I just nurse it everyday. Just prepare yourself that doing the surgery there is nothing like the states. I was very last to have the surgery. So I didn't go in till 7:30 pm. You stay the night there then about 9 am the next morning you load up in a van to travel to the hotel. The hotel was wonderful. They have Popsicles for you at the front desk you just have to ask for them. Later that evening you have to load back up in the van to head to the clinic for pain meds and nausea medicine. Have a pillow with you to hold against your stomach bc those roads are horrible. Now I look back all the bumping around helped with moving some of the gas out of your system. Only good thing about it! Then the next morning you do a leak test at the X-ray clinic. The blue dye really isn't so bad. Just have a purple mouth. I ate a Popsicle in between sips. The stuff you drink at the X-ray place was worse. Then later that evening you go back for more pain meds and the next day you go home!

 

You will do great be prepared to be sore from the gas. Just walk walk walk like everybody says. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Ohh my mother went with me and everything she ate at the hotel was wonderful. If you might be taking any guests with you. It was all reasonably priced. Just take small bills for tip as well.

 

Sorry so long.

Glad to hear all is goin well for you! You said that after your surgery you stayed the night there all night and went back to the hotel in the morning.. Just wondering where there is, cause I was under the understanding that you get the procedure done in a clinic setting.. Just wondering as I am also considering dr. Almanza.. Thanks

Yes you stay the night at the clinic. They have small rooms where there is two people in there. They checked my blood pressure and gave me nausea and pain medicine in the night.

So what if you need pain meds the day after your surgery at the hotel ?

Ms.Vicky71 please let me know too how it goes I have my surgery date for 8/10?12. Almanza too. I'm starting buy things like the multivitamins, biotin, protein shakes etc.

Good luck girl.!!

More than likely you won't need any pain meds they will give you a good dose when you leave in the morning the some later that evening. The pain is mainly from the gas so that's why you have to walk walk walk. You could take some of your own liquid if your worried about it. Yes I was in pain and tout I was dying! When I wasn't walking I was sleeping!
