I had my sleeve done in Tijuana Mexico

for $4400 ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGE

Included an escort from the airport or border to our 5 star hotel which was also included along with bariatric diet food while there, the lab work, the pain meds, the surgery and a nurse came to my hotel daily to check on me and all the other WL patients that were there for their surgery and the doc checked me out before I left Mexico heading back to California. My surgeons name:

DR LOUISIANA Valenzuela

SUPER HAPPY WITH THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE AND SURGERY!! I highly recommend her.

If you are in the US go to Dr. Shillingford in boca Raton. Flat fee of $10,500 covers everything and he and the nurses/hospital were awesome. He is trying to keep people from going to Mexico because of complications and got this special discount rate. Very highly recommended and rated

That sounds like a pretty good deal. I know there are some great surgeons in Mexico, but if there's a complication, I would rather deal with a surgeon in the US where there is real accountability. It might be worth the extra money over having it done in Mexico. I was lucky enough to get my procedure covered under insurance, but if I didn't I would probably consider something like this or Blossom in Las Vegas over Mexico.

I am currently waiting for surgery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia-just under 2 hours to go. The surgeon that I am using-Dr. Gee- came highly recommended by Australians and Brits because they travel here frequently. He has done WLS on over 1500 patients. It was cost effective to me as I reside in China full time-an ESL teacher-so we were coming to Malaysia for winter holiday. My whole experience thus far has been very positive-it was under 3 weeks from my initial inquiry to today, the cost was just under $8000 but this didn't include my travel expenses but again, we were coming here anyway so I would have been out that expense either way.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
