Help me convince people Mexico is safe
lonestarstategal replied to mlecompte's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Researched it for months, found the right Doctor and US based company to coordinate everything for me. Now on pre op diet, fly out to San Diego Monday morning will be picked up by our driver with a lighter me, heading over the border for same day surgery in TJ. Very excited, going alone, not scared at all. Be back home next Friday. Will post my experience when I return home:) -

OCC & Dr. Ariel Ortiz - My Story

Haven't been there yet. But a lot of these hotels have in house water filtration systems. Even tho they have that I still will not drink the tap or have ice, just to be on the safe side:) -

I didn't think it was that bad, but everyone's different. There wasn't any blood so I guess that may have made it tolerable for me... But it didn't change my mind, thank goodness! -

Olivia, I think you can ask to see your removed stomach after the surgery. I've seen people post on here the pics of theirs. Just a thought, you could always ask your doctor... -

lonestarstategal replied to lonestarstategal's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Thanks for the feedback! I was told that after this surgery that the possibility of having gall bladder probs is high due to the fact that the gall bladder is used to taking the excess fats, could go bad after not getting all that crap since we are eating better food and not fatty foods. With that in mind, the thought of coming back from Mexico after this surgery and the possibility of having to be cut open again freaks me out!!!
