I have a question for those who've already had surgery with Dr Illan at the new BariatricPal hospital location. My sister is going as my companion person and will not go out without me to get food-she is not adventurous and is a very anxious person. While we are still at the hospital, is there a way for her to get meals that doesn't involve her leaving with the driver?

Yep. My mum has been ordering all her meals while we are here and they’re either delivered here by the restaurant or picked up by one of the staff here

That's great, thank you so much for replying!

And in case you’re worried or anything there’s literally double security 24/7. Too much I would say [emoji4]

I'm not worried at all, but my sister's boyfriend will be happy to hear that!

Angie are y'all home yet?

Hi Sherry! We’re flying home today. 10 hr. trip [emoji51]

Has anyone gone to Mexico alone? My husband is NOT supportive and I am going through the process anyway. I have my own money so that's not a problem. I'm mostly worried about my belongings being safe while I'm in surgery. Also I only speak English.

Meeee.... I had VSG last Saturday 10/28/2017

Dont bring expensive things, you wont need them. I went to BariatricPal MX and they have a small safe in each hospital room and everyone speaks English there. You are all good [emoji4]

Hi UndercoverDiet.... I will be from what I understand a large majority of BariatricPal MX patients travel alone and are women.

Once I get to my "room" I'll be putting my passport, purse and cell phone in the safe. I'll also be bringing a small carryon suitcase which has a lock, and everything else I have will just stay in that. But just as another person said, don't bring too many other valuables with you....

From what I've read, many are happy to go alone, so they can focus on themselves. You will do great!

How fast is the recovery? Can you go back to work pretty quickly?

Thank you
