You have to tell us where you are going in Mexico. Mexico is BIG. Hope you find a travel partner and good luck with the surgery.

I just had a lap-band to sleeve revision done in Tijuana on 5/26/14. My patient facilitator set me up w/ a "surgery buddy" who was traveling alone. My husband traveled w/ me & took care of both of us! I think I have made a life-long, lasting friendship w/ my buddy! See if your facilitator or liaison can research for you who else may be traveling to your same facility that day. Best of luck to you! I am very happy w/ my decision so far :-D

I had my band converted to a sleeve on May 26, 2014 in Tijuana. My surgeon, for both surgeries, was dr. sergio verboonen. I initially found him through International Patient Facilitators. Both of my surgeries were facilitated by Sheri Burke, who I just adored! I researched dr. verboonen & was pleased with what I know about him. My original band was done in Cancun, where Dr. verboonen travels monthly. Hope this info helps!

      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! 😞
