Tomorrow I Fly To Cancun For Surgery & I Keep 2Nd Guessing Myself



Recommended Posts

I am an emotional wreck today, I have never been to Cancun and going alone for surgery sounded great months ago when I was preparing for this but now that the time has come I am scared.

For those who went to Mexico alone, can you please give me some reassurance?

Thank u

Hi Faith,

I haven't had my surgery yet but I have been to Cancun. It is beautiful! I see you sipping Protein shakes on your patio as you recover! Looking out over the blue ocean. I wish you had someone to share it with you though. Best of luck to you! Dee

Sorry, I didn't go alone to Cancun. But rest assured, your in good hands there. I used dr. verboonen and Dr. Perez, they were terrific! Sheri and her husband were very sweet and helpful as well. Try to relax, pray and know that your in the best hands of all "God's," Lifting you in prayer now!

I went to Tijuana alone. You will have nothing to worry about. I am sure there will be others there by themself too. I wish you well with your surgery.

After seeing the posts about Cancun and Dr Perez I am now considering going there rather than Tijuana. How much follow up have you needed with your surgeon? Did Dr Perez give education for post-op diet?

Dr Perez gave me all the info but I had already read Dr.alverez book which had a more conservative approach. ( available on amazon). I have not need Ed any follow but have his email if needed.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
