What else did you pay for in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

I am planning to go to Mexico and making sure I have everything in order money wise. I know I have to pay for surgery, the deposit, plane tickets, possibly a hotel one night before and one after in San Diego, food for companion while traveling, and of course some extra money just in case. Since I'll be on a pre op and post op diet I figure I can bring pretty much anything I need with me to mix into Water to drink. Is there anything else you had to pay for while in Mexico? Is there something I'm not thinking of? Thanks!

My surgery cost included all meds at the hospital, all pre-op testing, the two nights post-op at the hotel, all my liquids including from the hotel (they had a special bariatric patient tray with an assortment of liquids), transportation to/from the airport, hospital, and hotel and of course the surgery. I chose to fly in a day early, so I paid for one extra night at the hotel (my surgery center booked it for me so I got a discounted rate) and I chose to purchase the blood thinner shots from the pharmacy. I brought cash for incidentals and tips for the drivers, but didn't do any shopping or sight seeing. My surgery center did a pretty good job of prepping me for what I might need money for so I was able to budget and bring cash with me, but of course every person will have different needs/wants. Some of the other folks at my center came in early and did tours or shopping, etc. I traveled alone so I stuck to the hotel.

Yes, my plan is to get in and get out. I don't feel a strong desire to do the touristy things. I'd rather save that for a family vacation when I've lost some weight and can do some of the really fun things. Like put on a bathing suit!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
