Im from Alberta and just got back from Puerto Vallarta. I was sleeved on Oct 20 with Dr Lopez and his wife Dr Osuna, I had a great experience, the hospital is top notch and quiet. Karen, Dr Lopez's assistant is great. I woke up after surgery with such pain in my shoulder neck, so as soon as i was back from recovery i walked. It helps. Had heartburn for a day but i was given something. Once back at the hotel I walked alot, they have Jello and chicken broth but you pay for that. Sat by the pool with grape gatorade and ice was wonderful. I found the wifi was slow and theres a charge for that. Rooms are comfortable. People are very nice and helpful. I've had no problems except for the heartburn the first couple days. If your bringing someone, they have a Breakfast buffet thats wonderful according to my husband. I had Decaf tea and juice every morning then i found out they had jello enough for three meals. So glad i had this done. felt better as soon as i woke up. cant say enough about Dr Lopez, Dr Osuna and Karen.

I went through A Lighter Me and it cost $4500 to have your surgery in TJ. $5000 in Puerto Vallarta.

I have high BMI too. I'm planning for March/TJ and I'm hoping I can lose enuff to lower my BMI which greatly reduces my risk and cost. When/where are you going?

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
