Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I went to Tijuana and it was fine. I did not go by myself, my sister insisted on going! But there were others there by themselves and didn't have a problem. I stayed in the Marriott and it was great! We even walked to the stores in the area and there is a lot of foot traffic! We all hung out together and it was nice meeting others on the same adventure! I think you will be fine!

I would like to know this also.

When I booked my flight it asked if I needed wheelchair assistance and I checked yes. I would call your airline ahead of time and let them know.

I was all set to go alone, and felt quite confident that all would be fine. The driver meets you and takes you where you need to go... Hotel/ hospital. There are so many other sleevers there as medical tourists, it seems perfectly safe and comfortable to me. However just last week my husband announced that he is going with me. So I guess I'm not going alone but I certainly would have. I see no problem with traveling alone to TJ under the conditions of Medical Tourism were well protected. Best wishes to all that are traveling alone... We are with you in spirit!

Hi Everyone! I am currently in Mexico alone right now. I had my surgery this past morning with the amazing Dr. Alvarez. I feel perfectly fine to be here alone. The Dr, Susan, His Driver Rosie, and all the staff I have had contact with are absolutely fabulous. The hospital is older, but that I knew going in. It just looks like hospitals did when I was a young girl. The patient care in this place supersedes any medical care I have had in any hospital in the States. So while its not the prettiest I would chose here over any hospital near my own home. I will say the private rooms you are given here are completely updated and quite nice. Mine had a beautiful tiled walk in shower, leather furniture for guests, and a nice flatscreen tv. I do not feel scared to be alone here, but honestly cant wait to board the plane back to my wonderful fiance, 4 kids, and brand new Grandson Omar.

      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?

      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
