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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
