I think I may go in April for the surgery. I will be going for the gastric bypass whenever I go.

Im really hoping that removing my lapband will not be a problem. When switching to gastric bypass. I really want to get this surgery and I don’t want to waste money if it is not going to be completed.

Hi, I'm scheduled for revision surgery (Lapband to VSG) on April 4, 2018 in Tijuana Mexico, but I opted to have another surgeon to perform my procedure. I too will be travelling alone and wish I had a buddy. I'm very nervous, but I know this is something that HAS to be done. I wish you all the best.

I travelled alone, and was completely fine! There were a few other patients with me, and they were super friendly.

Ma’am you could not have picked a better surgeon or support team! I had my RNY done there in October and each and every staff member cares for their patients’ safety, comfort & support. They see people as people not just another dollar sign. If I had to go again I would be totally comfortable going alone [emoji4]
