ISO Travel Companions/Buddy for Mexico



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone would be open to traveling together to Mexico for surgery together. I'm looking at OCC because of all of the positive research I've done on Dr. Ortiz and his facility. I'm in the process of getting finances in order but hoping to get the procedure sometime next year. Shooting for Summer or Fall. I would really love to have a traveling companion or friend to do this journey with, my husband will be staying home with our small child so I will be traveling alone and a bit nervous about that!

I could be intrested in doing that! I haven't really researched doctor ortiz. I was thinking about going with doctor Lopez. I wonder if they would cut us an even bigger discount if we agreed to share a hotel Room? Would you be willing to do that as well? I think this would be so much better than going at it alone. Just the idea makes me nervous.

Good luck you two! :D As I read the OP's post, I kept hearing this song: "My traveling companion is 9 years old, he is the child of my first marriage..." :D :460_circus_tent:

I'm planning go see Dr. Ortiz next year too! However I'm trying my best to make it work so I can go there mid-may. I'm really hoping it's not just wishful thinking....but we will see! Once I have a better idea I can leg you know, I'm heading there solo so it would be nice to have a travel buddy!

Hi [mention=333982]sunbrezer[/mention] - Where are you traveling from and what procedure are you having?

Hi
I am traveling out of Orlando Florida on March 8th and I am having the gastric sleeve procedure done. When are you having your procedure?

Have you checked our Dr Wizman, Dr Taggar and Dr shillingford? They're close to ft Lauderdale. I was going to go to the OCC in Mexico, but between flights, hotels extra days, etc, it was just a little more to see Dr Taggar in FL. I paid 8899, but I think it's slightly more now. I used insurance for preop testing, traveled on a Thursday, surgery on friday, discharged on Saturday. Stayed in a local hotel, had a follow up Monday, then drove home.

I would definitely do this too. I want to go in April the second week. Would anyone be interested in this? I have a consultation here but hate to spend that kind of money. I don't know how the process works for Mexico. Any adivce or help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
