Looking for Best Non-Border Surgeon/ Beachy (vacation style) Recovery



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I'm looking for a Mexican surgeon who comes highly recommended in the Coastal areas of Mexico. I know that bariatric surgery is NO VACATION but I want my recovery time to be as enjoyable as possible. I'd like a 5star or equiv. hotel with access to the healthcare team/ special diet as well as a the surgery to occur at a state of the art hospital- NO Surgery Center. Ideally I would like to be within a reasonable distance from the airport so I'm not traveling by car for very long to or from the center. I would also be grateful for any recommendations of Medical Tourism Travel Insurance/ Complication Insurance. I am looking at the gastric sleeve now but am open to what the doctor feels is most appropriate for me.

Thank you in advance.

CMQ Premiere Hospital/Dr. Castaneda is so far my first choice. Anyone have any experience with him or this hospital?

I had surgery with Dr. Juan Francisco Hidalgo at the CMQ Premiere, and he was fantastic!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
