I am posting to let you all know about my experience with the Molding Clinic last weekend. . . IT WAS GREAT!

I arrived in San Diego on Saturday morning and was greeted by a driver holding a sign with my name on it. He drove me approx. 20 mins to TJ and another 5 mins to the Clinic. Where I was greeted by Andres, he was very welcoming, and sincere. Andres, told me how the entire day had been set up for me (tests, surg, etc.), and it went just as he said it would! I met Dr. Huacuz and the entire staff working with him that evening and it felt so comforting to have him explain EVERYTHING! And, then answer any and all questions that I had. Everything went as planned and I was pleased, I had some pain, but it was minimum.

I just wanted to share my experience with the Molding Clinic as I have lurked here for info about them. Would I go back? I AM!!

Most patients have excellent experiences in Mexico, but the number of "Nightmares" have been growing out of proportion lately. I went to Mexico one time .. Too many erosions and port infections lately added to the recent drug overdose - you have to be willing to gamble if you go to Mexico. Again, MOST patients have GREAT experiences... then there's the rest of us. I went to Mexico to save five grand, but I owe more than that in bills from all my Mexican related complications. If you're lucky at gambling, go for it. Be prepared for the Mexican cheeleaders though, because some people defend Mexican surgeons and get free fills for sending over referrals. Good luck to you. BUY AMERICAN! Woo hoo! (Too bad I didn't take my own advice.) Don't gamble with your life at least in the United states you can STOP a bad doctor....

You know what I find suspect about your posts? In one thread you say you had a horrible time, but in another you say your wife had a horrible time, then you throw a drug overdose in for good measure. Make up your mind and keep your story straight. It looks like whatever happened to you (if it even did haoppen) has thrown you into such a snit that you are answering threads that were posted to over a year ago. Mind you I am not saying that you should not post your experiences, but what do you have against Mexico or Mexican doctors with experience or patients who are happy with their doctors (even if you don't like them) or a surgery that can be had at an affordable price?

Where have you seen these "nightmares" documented? Where do you get your statistics?

Why do you say that American is always best? It's not, you know. I have lived out of the country and there are just some things we don't do as well as the rest of the world. No, I didn't live in Mexico. I lived in Europe. By the way, I don't get free anything from my doctor. What are you getting for what you are doing?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
