Alberta questions about Mexico



Recommended Posts

I am so glad I found this site! I made my call to Dr.O in Mexico - cant wait to hear back from them!

I have some questions though for those of you who went to Mexico and had the surgery done as I have heard varying answers for some, and havent seen some of the questions yet..

First - Would I just have to get regular travel insurance in case something goes wrong while I am in Mexico having the surgery?

Does AHC pay for complications that may occur once I am home if anything were to happen *knock on wood*?

Where in Alberta can you get fills when you have had the surgery in Mexico?

How long did it take you to get the surgery from the time of your first call?

I will be asking the clinic the same questions - but of course I am impatient and am hoping some of you wonderful people know the answers!

I have wanted to get this surgery for a very long time, and finally decided to just do it...my children are leaving for a month to australia and would love to get it while they are away but not sure I can get in that quickly (end of Dec - end of Jan)

Thanks in advance!

OH - another thing....I have been reading and reading on here - and I know some of you do not agree with going out of country - I completely understand your point! But I have decided to go to Mexico :wink:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
