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.

22 hrs post-op... pain was horrible for me from.gas inside stomach... can't pass gas yet at all but pain is way lower now.. I feel good about this. Last night I felt it wasn't gonna go away!! Everything went smoothly in the surgery thank god

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 am scheduled with Dr. alejandro lopez for vsg in Puerto Vallarta on 12 May 16. Anyone want to be a surgery buddy?

12 days out of sleeve.. I feel great!! I start pureed foods.. I need ideas.. is it really anything just pureed?

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.

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.

Has anyone gone down to Mexico (Tijuana) on their own? I'm having my surgery on the 25th and starting my 3 day liquid diet on Monday

I went down on my own in April. It was a little lonely, but I was fine. Good luck! I would do it again in a heartbeat!
