I have been approved to have surgery in Mexico and I wanted to know has anyone else had their surgery in Mexico and how did it turn out. Would like to get more information about this before I head there or even make a date for the procedure.

I had mine done in Cancun in November and have done really well. The hospital was very clean and the care was good. I work at a hospital here in the states. A friend had her surgery then and is doing well too. I have another co worker that had her surgery done 2 years ago and Tijuana and has done well also.

Okay great. I was wondering about the one in Tijuana, that is the one I got approved to and I was just wondering how things worked there. Hoping things work out well. Have you been successful with keeping the weight off and also the has there been any medical issues with getting it done in Mexico?

What doctor did she go to, your friend that went to Tijuana see if you know?

I have lost 70 lbs since my surgery November 11. I have a week of no weight loss here and there, but I have not regained any weight.

I also have just been approved to go to Mexico for my sleeve. The best advice I can give you is to do your research.

My research led me to Dr. Alvarez and Endobariatric. While not the "cheapest" option, you definitely do get what you pay for in this case. He only performs the gastric sleeve procedure instead of the different types.

I have my new "birthday" scheduled for July 8th and I'm excited.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
