I'm finding that lots of folks are horrified that I am going to Mexico for surgery. I live in Los Angeles, we practically are in Mexico, it's only 2 hours away. I can't take the naysayers.

Amen to that sister. You pretty much said it ALL! Good luck to you.

Thanks, I'm doing it tomorrow!

I am so phsycially uncomfortable I can't take it anymore. I'm driving down early tomorrow for surgery the same day! Whoohoo

It's fine down there. Tijuana a big city and there's going to be crime in any big city in the world. I live in Los Angeles and we used to be the murder capitol of he US. I have no reservations about traveling south of the border.

Would love to hear more about this subject!
Beach Baby replied to Bernie's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I don't know if you are still interested in this topic, but I have made an observation. The people traveling for surgeries in Mexico usually have no post-op follow-up in Mexico. So if you are uninsured, there is not medical follow-up unless you pay out of pocket in the US. Could be a problem for a lot of folks down the line. -
Hello....I am a newbie here!

Hi There! I'm having my surgery in Mexico. VGS there costs anywhere from 4,500$ to 8,000$. You fly into a border town, you are p/u at the airport and then dropped back there afterwards 3 days later. There are many forums here that can give you oodles of info. I deserve to live the live of my dreams and I'm going for it!!! Don't give up, if you truly want something I believe the UNIVERSE will conspire for you to have it. Just stay the the course. xxoo Suzanne aka BEACH BABY -
Can you send me a link as to how I can paste the ticker HTML to a signature? Nothing in Help on that topic. Thanks

I was only telling a few people. But a friend of mine said that I should let those that are close to me know or they will be disappointed. I have told maybe 8 or so. But I think I should of stuck with my gut and I can tell em later. I have been to Baja California many, many times and love it. I could care less on which side of the border I'm getting my medical care. My surgeon is Dr. Rodriguez and I'm being sleeved on the 19th. I'm driving in and driving out.

Sorry--- I lost my password and couldn't find my way back. I'm 4 lbs down on the low carb. I'm trying to get ready. Been reading all the boards about what to get so I'm ready. I need some big ass PJ bottoms, so my bottom isn's hanging out in the hospital.
I'm finding that I've told a few people about my plans and they are horrified that I am going to M...

I'm just typing in the little box...hope you girls get this. I'm doing a low-carb thing now. My Dr. recommended it 10 days before, but I got to be on something now or I will gain.

Hello Shakin! My surgeon has given me a low carb Liver Shrinking Diet. Kinda like Atkins. I wanted to get on something now, because I'm a binge-y eater and will have many LAST SUPPERS between now and then. I'm down to one small cup of coffee a day cause I know headaches are a comin' when I quit the stuff. Greek yogurt is much richer and better than regular and you will love it. Have you looked at any video blogs on youtube? They are awesome. People make videos and post em every week. PreOp, Post Op, what to eat, recipes. I just discovered them and feel much better about what I am getting myself into. i copied and pasted at link below. Or you can do a YouTube search on Kellawanda. She is amazing. -
I'm having mine on the 19th. Dr. Rodriguez in Tijuana too.

I like that - Sleeve Sister. Sounds good! I'm just getting the swing of this forum. I've been a voyeur for months and am diving in. Are you on a Pre-op diet? -
