My Experience In Cancun With Dr. Perez



Recommended Posts

had a great experience in Cancun having vsg surgery with Dr. Hector Perez and felt I should relay my experience to those considering going to cancun for surgery. I went alone and was a little nervous at first. The hotel was beautiful and very relaxing, right on the ocean! I was still somewhat apprehensive until meeting Dr. Perez the next day, surgery day, and also meeting the owners of Clinica Victoria.

Dr. Perez put me at ease immediately due to his confidence and assurance. He was very friendly and I felt very comfortable with his capability in performing my surgery. After surgery, I had a little discomfort from the incisions and swelling but no real pain the entire time I was in the hospital. Pain meds were given regularly and I slept quite a bit the first day. I had no real gas pains at all, and only had nausea for maybe 8 hours after surgery. That was it. The nurses were great! (Carmen was the best -- her big smile put me at ease and she was always smiling.) There were no real communication problems due to the cards that were utilized in the hospital for interpretation.

I feel like I was treated very well during my entire experience and I am still quite amazed how easy my recovery has been ... thanks to Dr. Perez and the wonderful staff at Clinica Victoria. I am glad I chose Cancun because it was very relaxing and inviting and I had no worries about my safety. Dr. Perez is a brilliant surgeon and this was the right fit for me.

My surgery was August 24th and I’m nearly two weeks out and down 14 pounds.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
