My aunt and uncle went there. They are doing great and speak highly of their experience. It's too much for me to self pay there... I had research further and starting looking into Medical Tourism. My surgery date is 3/11/13.

I've heard great things about Dr. Garcia. Did you book thru Ready 4 a Change? There are several people who speak very highly of him on the Self Pay/Mexico forum.

I've been going back and forth with my patient coordinator for the last half an hour trying to get connected with Dr. Ortiz for questions. Sounds like he is buzzing around like a mad man! LOL...everytime the phone rings my heart starts pounding!! I don't usually feel like this unless I'm about to stand up and speak in public! Hope I don't lose my voice like I usually do when that happens....all he will hear is squeaks!!

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
