Anyone having surgery in Mexico around November 19th?



Recommended Posts

I'm having revision from lap band to VGS at Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana on November 19th. My surgeon is Dr. Valenzeula. Anyone else planning surgery around that time? Looking for a surgery buddy.

Wonderful, rhondakayshalton. I thought I was going to be the only one there since it's the weekend before Thanksgiving. I mean, really, who wants to get sleeved the weekend before all that wonderful food is being served??? If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Ortiz works at Mi Doctor Hospital as well. I'm sure we will get to meet in person. Which surgery are you having? Are you taking a companion? My husband will be with me.

Planes can be scary, but I think there are probably less catastrophes on planes than automobiles. Just enjoy the ride and the fact that you get there quickly. What state are you in?

I'm currently scheduled for November 19th too!!! I'll be at a different hospital though. I'm going through teamMX.bariatricpal.com with Dr. Jalil Illan at the Oasis Hospital though. I might have to change the date though if my husband can't get the time off of work.

I chose that date because that way my husband only has to take 4 days off of work because of the holiday 4 day weekend. I'll be flying in the 18th and flying out on the 25th. The cheap days for me to fly out of our little airport are Fridays and Mondays. So even paying for two extra days in the hotel is cheaper with the airfare. Also, they only do nonstop on Friday's and some Mondays.

Sorry, I'm rambling.

I wanted to use Oasis Hospital because it has a completely remodeled bariatric wing. It is really pretty with everything nice and new in the pics. My neighbor up the road used Mi hospital though and had a really nice experience though with Dr. Curiel. She said that although the hospital was older, everything was kept nice and clean. I think that we paid the same, $4,400. She is really happy with here sleeve and lost like 30 pounds within a month!

I'll be at the Holiday Inn, she stayed at the Grand I think.

I hope that I don't sound like a commercial lol!

I'm so excited to get my surgery. And nervous, and excited, and nervous... Know what I mean?

I'm flying out of San Antonio on the 18th. Only I'm going through MBC and will be staying at the Hyatt and Mi Doctor Hospital. Good luck to you.

      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.
