Hi,

I just got back from having surgery in Mexico. Where are you going and are you using Medical Tourism? If you use Medical Tourism they will meet you in the hospital and they will keep you company before and after surgery. BiBi was with me most of the time I was there and she was wonderful. I'm not ready to go back but I had an awesome experience while I was there.

Hey I live here in TJ, my date is June 8 but I will still be off work... What agency or clinic/hospital are you going to? Depending on the agency you should have someone to help you. But you could also message me for anything too. I know what it feels like to be alone in a different country, it's definitely out of most of our comfort zones. *tip ask your cell phone company if they have a mexico plan. Some offer plans where you pay a fee then have a certain amount of texts or min. Otherwise you may not like your phone bill. Also, turn off your data when you cross into mexico, the clinic should have WiFi... You can also use an app like Skype or text plus for free text and calls over WiFi. Also we're so close to the USA that we have lots of us stores here, you'll see Walmart, home depot and of course lots of fast food places, so you might feel more at home than you think!

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
