I just had my surgery on July 17th and went by myself. It was great. I was at Star Medica and the nurses were fabulous. They helped me out of bed the first time I walked, they helped me shower the first time and were extremely responsive if I needed anything. I did have my phone with Google Spanish if I needed something they did not understand. They had at least one nurse on each shift that was bilingual, so that helped.

They had a safe for me to lock up my passport and purse, so I did not feel unsafe.

I am willing to share anything else about my experience if you have further questions.

I'm going to Dr. Fernando Garcia at the hospital CER surgical center.

I am so glad you had a good experience. It makes me feel way better! I'm mostly nervous about having some stranger pick me up at the airport to take me to the hospital. I know it's weird but it is stressing me out big time!

      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! 😞
