Recommended Posts

I’m going to have mine done by border bariatric. End of March anyone else do the same thing in Mexico are you scared. Are you going alone have you booked your plane ride. I’ve never flown so I need two seats I’m not to big but I have a big hips should I get two seat or is that dramatic of me? Where in Mexico are you doing your weight loss surgery

My surgery is Feb. 19th and will be in Tijuana. My nurse practitioner went down with her mother last year and they let her observe the surgery. So I full confidence in being well taken care of. I do not have full confidence in how the outcome will be which is normal for any big surgery. My husband is going with me but I haven't told anyone else that I'm doing this.

The unfortunate thing about going to Mexico is I won't be able to eat any authentic Mexican food! ;)

I had my sleeve done in Mexicali. I have lived in both TJ and Mexicali it is not as crazy as the news makes it out to be. I have had better care in Mexico than I have by US doctors.
Good luck and much success.

A coworker had hers in Mexico and came back home and got sick and the doctors in the ER here didn’t want to touch her. It was crazy she had to find a doctor that helped her. I could not believe it. My surgery is today at 12:30pm. Good Luck!!!

      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! 😞
