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 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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
