On business , and would never ever go back !

The only place I would do surgery is the USA ! I don't care how much it cost ,I want to be in my country not in a foreign country getting any type of surgery . We have the best doctors in the world ! God bless America

My advice would be to go to the self pay Mexico forum. There you will find lots of good information on the doctors in Mexico if you decide to go that route. Posting here about Mexico opens the doors for people to give you negativity about having the surgery somewhere outside the US.

I'm paying 5500 for my revision with Dr. Garcia

I had my revision almost 3 months ago, it was 5,600. I also has my band done in Mexico. You do not sacrifice care or skill for price. I will be heading back for plastics.

Don't let some people give you advice they know nothing about!!!

That's awesome! I can't wait to go for my revision! 38 more days and I will be rid of this band and on to my new life. My husband is looking forward to the trip and hoping I'm up for some shopping and site seeing afterwards since we have been to Mexico many times on vacation and loved it!

im still on the fence about the sleeve. i have been for the past year. i actually joined weight watchers in the meantime while i figure things out for myself. i am so afraid of making a decision and having it turn out badly, like the band. i thought that was the greatest thing ever and i thought i would never have to battle with my weight the way i always have. i did weel, lost around 70 lbs but then had a prolapse (slip), i had surgery to repair that and about a year or so later that band slipped, as the dr. waned me it could happen again. so ive have my band out for maybe 3 years and i put all the weight back on...ughhhh. i am so afraid of leakage with this surgery. i have scar tissue from my band surgeries and i also found out i have a few staple left in me as well, so that adds to the risk. im so torn about this. i want it but im so afraid!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
