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.

      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.
