Dr Fernando Gracia in Tijuana Mx. My husband has been really busy at work and can't take off. I am ready to start my journey. I thought I am a big girl I can go alone. I guess I was wanting some reassurance.

I didn't go to TJ, I went to Mexicali. I felt perfectly safe there tho.

I am super excited. Maybe I can move my date for the same day or maybe day after and we can help each other. I am looking forward to meeting new people.

Ill be traveling to Tijuana alone. If you read about other people's journeys, everyone says that they felt very safe and had excellent medical care.

There should be wifi in both the hospital and hotel to help you keep in touch with your family.

I went to Dr. Garcia alone in TJ and was fine. I made friends with other patients and that helped because my biggest problem would have been boredom!!

Went alone, and I was truly at peace. I relaxed, recovered, and had some time for just me! Hubby took care of the kiddos, and I was content with going by myself. I felt safe. There is always someone with you!

      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?

        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.
