I fly out April 16 to Tijuana.



Recommended Posts

I fly out April 16 to Tijuana. That is the day before my 27 birthday. I had a stroke last year in august and decided it was time to live. I want children with my new husband and I want to live long enouhh to see my stepson graduate. I am scared. I am going alone because we can't afford for my husband to go. I am technically going with a group but I don't know anyone. My Dr is Dr. jaime Ponce de leon at the INT hospital. I don't know much about him. I did so much research but I still feel I'm lacking. My doctors here in Houston are all for it but there are a lot of negative feelings from family about mexico. I can't afford it here and I have to do something. Wish me luck!

Luck! I've read great things about your doc. And I'm headed to Tijuana a few days after you.

I'm kind of panicking. I was reading on here that my coordinator Laurie Wolf may not have been a wise choice. She doesn't answer my emails and her phone just went to voicemail when I called 5 minutes ago. I paid her deposit but I don't know how to check and see if I'm even scheduled.

I researched Dr. Ponce and I believe you will be in great hands...All of his patients love him and are doing well...he's a great surgeon...

I understand your fears as I am leaving out on Thursday 4/11 to have surgery with Dr. Garcia. I am nervous, excited and little scared all in one

BUT God's got me so I'm ready to do this!!!

No it isn't. I got ahold of another coordinator and she at least verified that my procedure is booked but I don't know about transportation or lodging

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
