It is very clean and the staff go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need and are kept comfortable. I think my only complaint would be in the mornings the city/county....whatever it's called there, they open some valves underground to flush the sewage and the smell comes up through the drains everywhere, not just the hospital but all businesses and homes. However, Antonio is always on top of it by running Water and spraying Lysol everywhere. I didn't notice it in the hotel though but that's probably because I was up a couple floors. ?? For the low cost though, it's definitely worth a bit of funky smell in the morning for a couple days. 🙂 Oh, and the hospital rooms have netflix so I was like right at home. LOL

I’m scheduled for my revision surgery with Dr Illan in Tijuana on Apr 11, 2018.
Any suggestions or revision experiences would be helpful please.
Did anyone use an Abdominal binder?
I made alot of mistakes the first go round with the sleeve, lessons learned. Grateful for a 2nd chance.

How did your surgery go? Are happy with the results? Did you experience any complications? Would you recommended dr Illian?

I will be going for VSG to MGB on June 15 with Dr Illan. I'm glad to hear yours is going so well. I had really bad reflux before my VSG but immediately after, it went away, I suppose I was one of the lucky ones in that regard, I hope it does not return. I am curious about the salads...I have tried every kind of lettuce there is, even shredded, and every time it causes severe pain and I throw it right back up. Did you not have this issue with the VSG or is it something that you can now handle since the revision? I would LOVE to be able to eat salads again.
How did your surgery go? Any side effects? Would you recommend Dr
Illian?

      I don't know when I reached Onederland but just weighed myself @198. 😁

      Constantly amazing myself. This is probably a normal experience for all of us on a WL journey.
      This morning I was at 174 pounds (78.9 kilos). I can perceive that my brain hasn't really caught up to this yet, as I still feel obese, even though I am close to being considered a normal weight, not even overweight. The smaller clothes, the higher fitness level, the great blood work results, the energy- these all tell me a totally different story!
      I have NEVER EVER been, never, not once in my life, nada, zip, zilch, zero times, been "thin." I think this explains some of the disconnect between the reality of my body and the stuckness of my brain. I do have confidence that my mind will catch up soon ❤️
      Not really having the experience of true hunger yet, but I can perceive the peristalsis of my digestive tract. And I am getting very good at spotting head hunger, and simply noticing it, like a Buddhist.

      I ordered the Barbecue Protein Crisps here from BariatricPal, and find them quite tasty. The Ranch flavour, not so much. They are very filing and have a satisfying crunch.
      I continue to shrink, and am amazed at the changes all over my body. Visually, it is striking to me. In the mirror, I look thin to my eyes, but I don't feel thin, although I can see more bones and veins and tendons and floppy skin. Cardio-wise, It takes a lot more effort to get my heart rate up and I'm now monitoring which heart zone I can get into and for how long. My resting heart rate is the lowest it's ever been.
      If I think about it, and I left myself feel it for a time, I weep (like, boohoo cry) with joy. I am so grateful to myself, and proud of myself for having the courage to have taken the leap to better health.
