I'm curious to find out what made you choose Tijuana over Cancun. I'm choosing Cancun only because of the shorter flight but based on the fact so many are going to Tijuana, I'm wondering if I made the right choice. Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

I am sure u did I did research on Dr. Venzuela and Dr. Cabrera and thy seemed to be great and know what they where doing. I had a friend also that also used them as their surgeon and he ha lost already 80 pounds in 10 months so I decided to go ahead and go with them. I was sleeved on 2/25/2013 and I had very lil discomfort and every thing went smooth. I am sure Ur in good hands I have always been told Mexico had better surgeons that the USA cause they practice and have done theses types of surgery more than the USA has.

I chose Tijuana, even though it's a much longer trip, because it was difficult for me to find information about doctors in Cancun when I started researching over a year ago. I think that is why many people opt for doctors in Tijuana; Medical Tourism seems to be more established and it's easier to find information.

Having said that, I know there are a couple of people who there have opted for Cancun fairly recently and had great experiences. I know dr. sergio verboonen practices out of both Cancun and Tijuana and have seen posts from his patients. I'm not remembering others off the top of my head, but you might get more information if you were to post a new topic asking for information and reports for Cancun specifically.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
