My response keeps disappearing from this thread when I post it. My fabulous surgeon in Tijuana, Mexico was Dr. Ramos Kelly. I had a great experience and no complications. I stayed at Hospitale Angeles for a few days and then at Hotel Lucerna for a couple of days. He visited me twice a day in the hospital and once a day at the hotel. Since returning home Dr. Ramos Kelly has still provided guidance and answered questions when I needed it. The care I received was better than most US surgeons and hospitals. Do your research and you'll find the best qualified clinician for you. Good luck!

Excellent experience with Dr Garcia of Tijuana Bariatrics. Very good care and everything has gone super well post. I chose single incision, which I'm quite pleased with.

I had my surgery with Dr. jaime Ponce de leon Palomares, surgery and hospital stay was at Hospital Angeles (which we did pay more for- my fiancé insisted on the biggest/nicest hospital). He was very nice and friendly and so was his assistant Sergio. Absolutely 0 complications and I'm 2 weeks out. Stitches and drain wound almost entirelt healed and looka like there will br almost no visible scars for me. The Drs and staff were very nice and even those who did not speak English at least tried - and to be fair my spanish is not fluent, but they appreciated me trying and it was enough to get by (Google translate worked when there were words we didn't know how to translate!)

      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! 😞
