Keep us posted, hope ask goes well. Does anyone know of an app to use while in Mexico to get a hold of people while your there. I know my friend that was just there used the Wi-Fi at the hospital but didn't have it at the hotel.

Hi make sure you wear compression socks and continually drink Water through out the flight. The Dr may give you some other form of medication while you are there to prevent blood clots on the way home. Send an email to your Dr and tell them that you are nervous about the 6hr flight do they have any special recommendations. Don't panic

Ausmith and xtina.. Thank you so much for you support.. Good look to every one that is going to Mexico to have this done!!!! We all be fine!!! Lot of prayers!!!!

Those with long flights make sure you are stretching your legs and getting out of your seat at least once an hour to prevent blood clots! Keep your circulation flowing!

I had surgery at OCC in Tijuana 2/25 & it was a great experience. My friends & family were against it also but my daughter went with me & is now fully on board with it, the staff at the hospital & Marriott were wonderful, the Van driver that picked us up in San Diego was also wonderful. I did very well with the surgery as I followed all the instructions I lost 12 pounds on the ore-op diet & now am down 25 pounds total as I put 6 pounds back on after surgery which is expected .

Good luck I am sure you will be pleased & do well

      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? 🤷‍♀️
