Going it alone vs Going with a facilitator...



Recommended Posts

Just wondering from ppl out there that have went to Mexico (PV) and had the sleeve done on their own, not going with a facilitator, how was it, where did you stay afterwards, what was it like making the arrangements. I went through a facilitator, but now I have family members that want to go have it done, and I told them I was willing to go down with them, as I think it is a matter of getting to and from your hotel to hospital after surgery. Maybe I am wrong. So would be nice to hear from some of you that opted to do it alone, as it is cheaper to go on your own.

It's ll n the price. I have family that is going back and we're using my Cordinator, Trish.. Because she's awesome. She's included in the price as well as transportation, hotel etc. Less stress and hassle.

I don't think that you can go alone. The surgeons work with the coordinators for a reason and of course everything is done for you including transportation and hotel. I doubt that you would get such a good deal if you priced it out yourself.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
