Hey y'all. This is my first post here (I've kinda been lurking for awhile though lol). My husband and I have both scheduled our surgeries for August 3rd with dr.kelly in Tijuana and I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. We've both always struggled with our weight but it has really gotten out of control. My sister (who is 150 pounds smaller) actually inspired me to go to Mexico. She was looking for a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck in Mexico and opened my eyes to the fact that people everywhere travel for procedures. So here we are, a little over a month to go and our new journey begins. In looking forward to making some new friends here and encouraging one another. Jen

Congrats on our decision and welcome!

Hello & welcome!

Congrats on the date!

If you booked with Kelly himself I beleive you will have surgery at NOVA Hospital.

Will you please take some pics of this facility and post them.

Also your leak test will be at Angeles Hospital... ultra modern (High Tech) a few pics here would assist newbies as well.

Seems another OP is bad mouthing it and I did not take pics before I left both Hospitals.

If you booked through a whoelsaler... probably MI Doctor will be your hospital

Again... congrats on the date

If you need any info about the facility, doctor or TJ itself... pm us. We have been ther 12 times so far.

I did book with dr. Kelly directly so Lora said nova hospital and Angeles for leak test like u mentioned. I read that negative thread just now and am big sure what to think about it. :/.

I will definitely take some pics and post.

Hubby had surgery 3 years ago... dont want to mention the slaughter house he was at cause that would hijack your thread. hes at his goal. 333 to 215ish.

My local doc wa so impressed with the xrays at angeles hosp. Hubby xrays were just tossed on the garbage by the same local doc and said a stick drawing would of been better lol.

We made the mistake of booking through MBC and getting the cheaper less quality xrays in our package. We opted to pay the extra $60 and go to Angeles for our xrays... the same as yours (but yours are included) lucky girl.

I dont know why more patients dont book direct with their surgeons... what is it they get?

We got fooled because MBC's website said it was the officail site... stupid me.

Wont be long til we are calling you both skinny!

I'm sooo ready. And I look forward to being skinny too(and active) , instead of being the girl with such a pretty face

congrats on arranging your surgeries - i'm going to Mexico too, but with a different surgeon - Yeah - I too look forward to never hearing that back-handed compliment "but, you have such a pretty face"

Hubby is down in Tijuana right now...he had his sleeve done on friday with Dr. Luna/Garcia...he is back at the Marriot today for the rest of the 2 nights...he had a WONDERFUL experience with all the Medical Staff at Florence Health...had the best of care and he is now virtually pain free and doing well In fact, he probably could of gone home today, but he is staying till tuesday evening as part of the package...I'm going down on July 7th for my sleeve on the 8th...after seeing how well his surgery and recovery has gone, i'm excited to get on the other side of this procedure The Marriot is a great hotel and very nice! Hubby said it was probably one of the best places he has ever stayed I can't wait to try out the pool upon arrival I figure it will be a couple of weeks before i'll be able to go again, so take advantage while you can
