Getting sleeve done on April 8th in Tijuana Mexico.. !



Recommended Posts

I'm having mine done in Mexico on 4/15 because my employee is self insured and does not cover the procedure. So I could either take out a small loan to have it done in the US for 11k or more or I could take the 5k from my savings and have everything paid in full with no hoops to jump through and have it done when I want it done which is now. I chose the ladder.

Just wondering why you all decided to have your procedure in Mexico? Curious.

I went to Mexico because where I live in Canada I would've had to wait around 10 years and pay $20,000 to have surgery here.

Way cheaper than the US and better care! I loved my doctor (Dr. Illan) and Bariatric Pal staff. It was like a mini vacation!

I'm new to this whole thing. Being a yo-yo all my life, I am positive I want to have this done and I know I will be self pay. I'm looking for doc recommendations in Mexico and would like to know how long your process took before surgery was scheduled. Thank you all so much!

Same here...And reading these posts allow me to feel really good about the possibility of having Bill as my coordinator, and Dr. Illan (sorry if misspelled) as my surgeon.

Jen-

My experience was terrific! My surgery was May 5th and I'm down 47 lbs. Best decision I've ever made. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

      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! 😞
