Husband Is Concerned With Me Going To Mexico



Recommended Posts

Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras is an amazing surgeon. They transport you from San Antonio airport to Eagle Pass and then across the border into MX the next morning. It is a safe border town to be in. They transport you back to San Antonio after you are released and put you in a nice hotel there. Watch the YouTube videos by Dr. Alvarez on you tube or Endobariatrics.com

My husband was totally impressed with him, and that is something that does not happen often. My husband slept in my room at the hospital and was with me constantly. Hope you can work it out so your husband is not nervous about it. You get really great care in Mexico.

I wasn't comfortable with my sister going by herself . . . major surgery alone in Mexico? No. So I went with her. That was July. I was so impressed with her experience I went back myself (sis went with me) for the surgery! It really is too good to be true; but they can do more with less money in Mexico.

My advice is when you settle on a dr., start reading everyone's experiences. chances are your experience will be similar and you'll know more about what to expect.

My dad felt the same way. He is a lawyer (aka paid paranoid) and a total worry wart. I asked him to accompany me to Mexicali for my surgery with Dr Aceves. He was VERY skeptical at first. In fact, he insisted on going to down there and touring the hospital and interviewing Dr Aceves before I paid te deposit. He came back from that visit more excited about surgery than I was! He felt so confident - it was really encouraging to me.

Our experience in Mexico was superb, even better than I planned. I think your spouse has every right to worry about you, but really I think he'll be impressed with the experience. If he has questions or concerns encourage him to contact the hospital / surgeon!

I had the same surgery date & surgeon as Frza and agree with her completely. I work in hospitals for a living and I can honestly say the hospital I stayed at was cleaner than any I've been to in the Vegas area. My territory is 5 hospitals. Also, Dr Aceves has more sleeve experience than all the gastric sleeve docs in this area put together.

The staff is so friendly and helpful too. When Frza and I wanted to go to the pharmacy across the street, the nurse insisted on going with us to help guide us as the traffic can be tricky. We were treated like VIPS from airport pickup to airport drop-off. I would recommend Dr Aceves and his staff to anyone, no reservations.

      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?
