My poor experience with A Lighter Me
Pashon8aboutlife replied to dawndenise's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I never attacked anybody I was only standing up for gettinsleeved because I met her in the hospital and her sister. So I know for a definite fact she is NOT a coordinator. I just don't want people freaking out about a decision they have made or are about to make. I joined in March, after finding out about it on you tube. I followed quite a few stories and was sleeved tues the 9th. I found out so much good information. It was exactly like what I have read. There were things that came up I would have not known what it was except I had read about in stories such as the shoulder pain. I never attacked the ordinal poster -
My poor experience with A Lighter Me

Hello I have never posted on here because of the negative responses. But I just had to pop in and set some things straight. Gettinsleeved is in NO WAY a coordinator I was in Mexico at the same time having surgery, I was there in the Hospital at the same time. We went shopping together with her sis and a few other patients. I had a great experience with Janesse and the whole experience from being picked up at the airport by Abraham going to the hospital, the Doctors, and the Hotel it was all a very good experience. To answer the comments about the drain issues: I had a tummy tuck 10 years ago after losing 100 pounds on my own. I had the surgery in the states. Self pay over 15,000.00 I had the surgery at 9:00 in the morning and by 2:00 in the afternoon was sent home with 2 drains I had those drains in for almost 2 weeks, that would have been one long hospital stay if I had to be in the hospital for that reason. The Dr never called to check on me he never visited my home. i had to call the Dr when i passed out from the anesthetic I had to wait for him to call me back. I also had to clean and bandage my incision for the month following. This was in the states. My experience in Mexico was far more caring than what I experienced during my tummy tuck. I also had a drain with my gallbladder surgery that was not done by laparoscopically and again went home with a drain. Don't think that if you have a drain that it is only something they do in Mexico. They do leak and you do have to care for them they are a nuisance but it is just temporary. They have a purpose. They know what they are doing down there. If this patient had any of the symptoms of infection or any thing that was not the norm they would have been all over it. The leakage is normal they see it all the time. Don't let one person with a comment that she didn't get the response as quickly as she wanted keep you from having this surgery here in the states or in Mexico. When I read the first post I was sad because I saw right away people second guessing the Dr, the group and Mexico and that is sad. For every one negative comment there are so many more that never post the positive one, because they feel it went fine and pretty boring. She even said she didn't have a problem with the Dr or the hospital.
