Anyone Freak Out After Surgery
BarbieB replied to southerngirl's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Oh yeah cried and cussed. The the f**k did I do to myself. It gets better -
Hi I was sleeved in Mexico in Feb. I was so sick when I got there I was afraid they wouldn't sleeve me either...the doctor said my lungs were clear and they woykx go ahead with the surgery. Then they pumped me full of antibiotics post op and I felt better real quick...just make sure you get out of bed ASAP so nothing settles in your lungs. Good luck.

Hi I also live in Florida so I had the same distance to go as you..I would recommend flying first class on the way home you are much more comfortable..and I would not fly southwest the seats are first come first serve you dont need that stress on the way home I flew continental/united and loved it they have direct t.c. on board and it makes the trip go by faster..Good luck..

Dr. Garcia And Team Are Awesome!
BarbieB replied to BarbieB's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
pack light, follow the pre op diet without cheats I think you do much better post op..I had no pain what so ever..check the weather before you go it is really cold at night and warms in the day but I hade 2 cold days which I was out and about and was glad I bundled up. go shopping it is so much fun...If you have anything to ask specifically ask..I emailed finallyme with the questions she asked..I dont mind answering anyones questions..I remember it was not too long ago that I was in your shoes the unknown is kinda scary as well as going to a foreign counrty especially one that has gotten alot of bad press...the media sensationalizes that crap it is a completely safe place and the people there are so nice way nicer than most here in the staes..good luck and ask whatever you want.. -
