Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
