Shopping for a Dr. in Mexico



Recommended Posts

mysherrijo, did you have your fills done back in Mexico or with a dr in the states? I'm trying to decide which way to go and if it makes a difference. Thanks

kwhenrykerr, I have enjoyed your posts. They are so encouraging. 2 days left...leave Sunday for Dr. Ortiz. I'm good with losing slowly after a June reunion, but I badly want to have 50 pounds off by then. Y'all keep me in your prayers on Monday. MY BIG DAY!!! New beginnings, a year to celebrate!

Hi Robin,

Just checking in to see if you are back home yet. How are you feeling? I leave for San Diego on the 25th and have surgery on the 26th.

You are definately in my prayers.

Your buddy from Ok/Co.

Michelle

Michelle, I am home and doing wonderful. Best thing of my life...and I would do it again in a heart beat. LOVE LOVE LOVE the team in Mexico...awesome. Had the best time...going back every year just to keep in touch. Lost 16 so far and its just been 4 days, but that also included the preop diet that I stuck to pretty faithfully. Please do keep in touch! I cleaned out all my email, so I don't know if I had your email address or not. Here's mine robbin58@cox.net

Hello everyone! I was banded on 11/2 in TJ with Dr. Huacuz and now its time for my fill. I have recontacted his office and they all have been great about being available for me to return there for my fill. I have looked around the Northern CA and haven't been happy with the options I have found. I am a little nervous about getting the first fill. It seems like a dream of a happy life. I am down 85+ pounds (pre/post) since I entered this journey. Thank you everyone for sharing your questions and all that answer. CJay

it is normal to be nervous about your first fill, we all go through that. i hope you are excited to finally start the losing stage. dr. huacuz is excellent at doing fills. he has done mine and i have been very happy with his judgment on how much to put in. try to be careful eating . i try small bite of something and wait a while to make sure it goes down ok. i also try not to eat after 6pm , since you can get acid reflux if you eat late and go to bed. when you lie down the acid will rise into the esophogus and burn your throat, thus making it swell and then you will feel yucky. so take it slow and have fun in tj. i always have a great time there. i love the people . dr huacuz and dr romero are the best. good luck and happy losing. ive lost 85lbs. it is coming off slower now that i am close to my goal weight. i had to step it up at the gym. catz:biggrin1:

      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!!
