Hey! First of all I'm so glad to hear how good your experience was. My husband and I are both interested in getting sleeves. We were preparing to self pay in the US until we got a little support with a family member about researching Mexico. I'm really excited about the idea of Not being $40,000. In debt but still super nervous of leaving the country. I feel like I am a little too trusting of people and I don't want to make that mistake with this decision. How did you come about your decision? Also I have a 10 month old daughter. I've read about a 10lb weight restriction for the first month. Is this true? I don't think I can go a month without picking my daughter up.

Thank you in advance! I'd love any advice you have!

So I'm on the same boat. Going to Mexico. Have not even told anyone bc I don't want the criticism. I also have a 11 month old son. My surgery is next week. Freaking out

@@JayJuls I totally understand nervousness surrounding having surgery in Mexico. I came to the conclusion when a friend of mine had surgery with the same Doctor and had a great experience. It helped me to know that "if _______ did it and raves about it then it must be ok!" I trusted her and I'm glad I did! My husband came with me as an added source of reason and he felt so safe that he went out on walks to explore when I didn't need him.(not everyone is as adventurous as he is though)

I think you need to go with a doctor with a really great reputation and a great care coordinator. The care coordinator really does the logistics work when your there and you need to know that your care coordinator is almost as good as your doc!

May I ask who your doctor was and your coordinator?
