Anyone considering BariatricPal Team MX in Mexico? I’d like to hear your feedback.

I agree with being concerned about only staying one night post op in the hotel and when I asked Bill about this he assured me it was long enough. I am flying 3.5 hrs from Canada so wanted to make sure I was good to travel. I am heading there a day before surgery (November 30th) and have booked a room through Bill at Pueblo Amigo hotel for approx $73 US a night. Bill just had his vsg surgery last week but is back to work now and has usually answered any of my emails quite promptly. There also is a ton of info on the fb group if you want to reconsider joining that.

Hi guys! I just returned from there last night. We stayed 1 night at the hotel after the hospital and it was honestly more than enough time. I felt restless and ready to go home after that. They even send the doctor to your hotel room that evening to check up on you! I don’t know about the US but in Canada that’s never gonna happen [emoji57]
@Sheldrea We left early the next morning for Canada (12 hr trip with the delays) just make sure you have plenty of water and wear the stockings and you’ll be fine.

@Angie’s_Ocean. Thanks so much for the info! I will take the water and compression stockings advice serious ? I’m fortunate that my flight is direct and only 3.5 hours.

HI Angie's_ocean.... quick question for you.... did you bring your own compression stockings? Or did Bariatricpal MX hospital provide you with them?? Do they provide a binder for you to put around your abdomen as well ?

Also, did they give you an incentive spirometer to use ??

Just some questions I had! I'm sure i can ask Bill but don't want to inundate him with too much. I've just booked for my VSG on 15th Jan!!

They do give you stockings to wear and take home with you. No binder.
What’s a spirometer?

HI Angie! Thanks good to know about the stockings and no binder!

The spirometer is that plastic thing that I've been seeing patients here in the US be given after surgery, basically you inhale/exhale into/out of and it helps clear the lungs from the effects of anesthesia....
