For those who had surgery in Mexico...



Recommended Posts

I went by myself. The doctor's office staff took great care of me, I was never scared, and over all it was a lot easier not having to worry about someone else while I was there. They took me back to the airport and I went home. Quick and easy.

My mother went with me, but I was originally going to go alone. Many people were there alone, and they had GREAT support from all staff.

I took my little sister with me but I saw many women who were there all by themselves. If I had to, I could put a bra on all by myself but I had my sister help me and carry my bag for me. It is doable by yourself from my point of view.

I went by myself. I didn't want to have to worry about someone else's boredom on top of my own healing. You meet other women/men having these procedures too so you won't be bored and usually the staff in Mexico are beyond amazing.

I went with my husband, but it would have been doable alone. The staff is very accommodating and helpful.

I went by myself and honestly glad I did. The staff will take wonderful care of you and you don't have to worry about the comfort or boredom of a guest.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
