I did go alone, and my own fears were unfounded. Lol. There are other people having surgeries within the time you are there. It is easy to spot in the mornings going down for breakfast.... The ones that are slow, stiff, bandaged or carrying drains. Lol. Everyone is so friendly. So connecting is so nice. I would have no fears of going alone again. You are safe and well taken care of. Monterrey is not the stereotypical part of Mexico you often think of. The area you are in is clean, upper class type area. Large houses, large hotels (bigger than my little town and cleaner. Lol), new cars, streets are clean. ... I have been to a few different places in Mexico over the past few years and I def felt the most at ease, safe and really surprised at how modern the area was.

I had connected with the dr via email.

The dr is Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico you can google him as I don't have the info on me right now. (I believe it's the Medical Tourism site he uses) I researched him for a good 8 months and was very happy with his reviews, the amazing work he does and of course now my results. His wife is the anesthesiologist and is very sweet. Dr S responds to all the emails and so you are getting his professional opinion right away. No middle man makes it way easier and faster to communicate directly with him.

wish i would have done it your way in mexico sounds like you had more of a spa like experience and wonder what my $8 grand on just a TT would have gotten me .. glad you had a great experience if i ever decide to get anything else done def will go mex.. lol

I go to a plastic surgeon tomorrowv to see if my insurance well pay for a panniculectomy... Everyone cross your fingers please! I have a horrible hernia and my surgeon recommends that in order to not have to do the hernia surgery again later, removal of the skin should be medically necessary... We will see!

Thank you all for posting. Now I wish some men would post if they had these surgeries down would be really helpful, in making my decision on what to do next. It would be a year in November and have lost a total of 150 lbs since I started this journey. Thank you ladies again and sending positive thoughts your way.

Well my brother will be having ps done but probably not until next year. He is down 250lbs and is still working at losing a bit more. I will be sure to post for him (he also was sleeved... But his heaviest was 579lbs.... So has a longer journey than most. Even at that weight he was still mobile, active and working... Weight loss has just made him more so:)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
