Just an FYI. Mexico isn't considered a third world country because of its newly developed industrial system.

First of all. Why would you go to a third world county to get such a serious surgery done. Your lucky you made it out alive. I'm surprise you didn't get an infection. I would have ran out of there.

RCT - First of all, Mexico is NOT a third world country. You are obviously ignorant on the options in Mexico and making judgements. We don't need people to bring those of us down that are struggling with Obesity and are looking for ways to make our life better and regain our health and happiness. We are here to encourage, support and inform. And lastly the correct form of the verb is RUN. You would have RUN out of there not ran.

Even if it was given to me free. I wouldn't do it in a third world country

Oftentimes people do not know what they would do until they are left with no alternative. Did I want to go to MX at first? Heck no! Surgeries being done on a couch, me being left butt-naked for everyone to see my goodness ;-) and lets not talk about the complications.

I knew I didn't have the patience to wait for my insurance, so I did my research on MX and Medical Tourism. And guess what??? All those stereotypical views of a "third world country" (as you say), was a bunch of bull! Now I am sure black street surgeons exist everywhere, but you should definitely do your own research and educate yourself a little more on the subject matter before making harsh comments about other decisions just because your perception of MX are based off of movies and talk shows.

It's fine if you want to be misinformed and appear ignorant here' date=' that's your right I guess. But you obviously know nothing about the medical tourism in Mexico. I don't think you probably want to know about it either since I believe you're just here to stir the pot and troll, but surgeons in Mexico have been doing these procedures longer than most surgeons in the US, they have great outcomes, the hospitals are clean (as clean as in the US), some of the surgeons are even members of American surgical associations, so there you go.[/quote']

First of all I'm far from ignorant and all you said sound great. And I'm sure that everything you said is true. But your telling me after all she said you wouldn't have ran out of there? Where did you get yours done? I'm Dominican and there are also great surgeons in my country. But most people go to those county to get preceder done because its cheap not so much for the surgeon. Most of them don't have insurance and it not cheap in the states. I get it. But check out the place first. I don't know about you. But I did alot of research before I decided on who was going to preform my surgery.

* leaves the room while all hell breaks loose*

C'mon. Everyone has a right to their opinion but you came in here to instigate and cause drama. You're not adding anything helpful to this thread. You're taking away from it. Not cool.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
