If I could do this over' date=' I would add one extra day at the hotel after the surgery. I'm feeling a bit lousy and would love an extra day before getting on an airplane.

By lousy I mean headache, bloated hands and feet, achey belly. Very hard to sleep. Like mild case of the flu. My surgery was 3 days ago.

Ps I've taken nearly a full box of Gas-X Strips in last 18 hours.

I understand they give you a lot of IV fluids which is prob why your hands and feet feel bloated. I hear the gas is a pain, walking will help alleviate some of these issues. I pray you have a safe trip back. Congrats again

How long are you staying after your surgery?!?! If I go to Dr. Garcia I want to do the same as you (have surgery the same day I fly in)....Alma told me this was an option!!!

Dr. Ponce does his surgeries like that (same day you fly in).....Too bad I can't make up my mind who to go with Garcia or Ponce!?!?! Decisions decisions....sighhhhhh

From 2/27. - 3/3

Off work for 2weeks

FWIW, I'm feeling better and better. So the extra day might not be necessary. Amazing how much improvement in just a few hours.

So things recently changed with my husbands insurance at his job and when I reviewed the plans, it said Bariatric surgery was a covered benefit. I was hoping, in a last ditch effort that I could have surgery in the states and not leave home for that long (and save myself some $$$) but when I called my insurance about it, they said it was a mistake in the plan and it was NOT a covered benefit. So Mexico...here I come! I guess on the bright side, I get to keep my new Samantha Brown luggage set! :)

I really don't know anything about Jerusalem hospital but Mi hospital seems to be wonderful and everybody seems to just love it. I do know they also have an ICU. I haven't seen a lot about Jerusalem hospital on this forum. However, I have seen many many many people that has commented on how great Mi hospital is/was. If you choose MI hospital you also get to stay in the Marriott Hotel 1 day before and 2 days after your surgery. I'm not sure but I think I read if you choose Jerusalem hospital you go to a recovery house with many other people after your surgery. Good luck and hope this helps.

Mi Doctor is a fully functioning hospital. Jerusalem is a clinic in a strip mall. I have a high BMI which increases the risk so I felt more comfortable with a hospital. Also, Dr. Almanza st Jerusalem does the lowest BMI 1st so you may be towards the end of the line. There has been some recent controversy as to how many surgeries he does a day. Reports of 8+ have been made. I do not know from experience. Good luck and whichever direction you go I wish you a safe and successful surgery/recovery.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
