I recently went down to Tijuana for a weightloss procedure. Andres Betancourt is the patient coordinator there. Besides having the procedure, I had a great time! Stayed in a lovely hotel to recuperate, and Joel came and took myself and another family on a tour around the city to see the sites and to go shopping. They really take care of everything, it was so nice to have such a smooth trip. Andres arranged the flight, the hotel and the procedure. If you have any questions about this clinic, I strongly urge you to call Andres. He always returned my calls promptly and answered all of my questions I had about this procedure. In my experience, they are wonderful people that really seem to care about their patients. I have to go back down later this summer and I can't wait to see how much weight I have lost by then, and can't wait to see everybody again. If anyone has any questions about the clinic please feel free to contact me and I will try to answer what I can. I had looked into another doctor/clinic in Tijuana first, but was not happy with the answers to the questions I had. I'm so glad I found Andres and the Molding Clinic!:banana

Wow. I think it's amazing that so many people stick up for the Molding Clinic. What's interesting is that most of the people that do so have 1 post.

Imagine our luck! They stumble upon our site, find a post about the place where they had their procedure at, then they take the time to post about how wonderful Adres is (they always mention this -- he must be awesome) and how perfectly everything went there.

Most of them never post again. Again, how lucky we are that they just happen to find the posts about Molding Clinic and are able to offer us their (wonderful) experiences before leaving without ever posting another message.

Lucky lucky lucky are we!

I post only what I truly belive, I have been there and have experienced the clinic myself. If I truly did not believe that what I have said was not going to be of benefit to anyone else I really would not have posted. I have looked through this site for some time and have never posted, but have chatted through email with others regarding different clinics to help me make my choice. So, this is what I am doing now. Hoping my experience will help others make the right choice for them whether it is to go to the clinic I went to or another. I am here hopefully to meet and make new friends, and to support those that have gone through what I have, and vice versa. I am not here to have posts ridiculed by someone that obviously does not know me, especially since as it was mentioned that it was my first time posting. Sorry if my opinion offended anyone, it was not intentional. I thought this site was about support and I only wanted to share how great I was feeling at this time in my life after my procedure, and I do truly feel that my experience was made more pleasant by those that assited me through this time at The Molding Clinic. I don't wish to get into any arguments or any sort of wars on this chat, but seeing as it was my first time posting, I thought a little background info about where I went etc may be helpful to somebody else.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
