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:

  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'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? 🤷‍♀️
