My daughter was scheduled for that day also with Dr Illan but we are going to try insurance resubmission in 6 months to see if we can get her approved. I think it is worth one more try before we head to Mexico. So if that does not work we will review again the options in Mexico after the first of the year.

I had my surgery on the 17th of June here in the US, but since my daughters insurance was denied, she will have to self pay... Thus the route through Mexico. I have been very appreciative of the candid feedback from this group who have already had first hand experiences with the surgeons in Mexico. Honestly, it is a very big decision and all information available should be reviewed before the decision is made. The fluffery on the various bariactric web sites can be a nice read, but actual experiences from all of you is what I believe to be the truth in all of it! So thank you for responding to these posts!

For now we have looked strangely at Aceves and Pompa. I am curious if anyone has specific feedback on the facilities, care, etc on either of theses drs. Most importantly, did they perform as promised.... Was the facilities up to date and clean, was staff attentive, and was dr everything you had hoped for in expertise?

I am probably more cautious here because it is my daughter I am sending down. She is everything in my life, and if can't imagine life without her. I want the best for her obviously and do not want to set her up with a dr who plays any bait and switch games.

I really do appreciate any feedback you all can give me. We are looking for a July date, so we must make our final decision. this week! She is very unhappy in her body and I am so looking forward to seeing her gorgeous smile again once she is on the other side of this journey.

So good to read your posting, we are having the same issue. I was approved because of my medical conditions but my daughter was not, she is schedule with Dr. Fernando Garcia, Ready4Achange, July 31. I have researched and researched and they have been phenomenal (Alma) with everything. I will keep you posted! Please do the same, thanks!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
