Mexico is the way to go. To the person who is considering a private nurse. WASTE OF MONEY! if you are in need of a nurse, they should not discharge you in the first place. Seriously. I'm a bit of a baby and I survived just fine in Tijuana by myself before and after surgery. Walked a mile round trip to Walmart within 48 hours of having surgery. Also, a lot of stateside hospitals provide free bariatric support groups that meet monthly. The forums coupled with group should be more than enough support. Also, you tend to bond with other patients while you're there. I had my neighbors in and out of my room throughout my hospital stay. It was nice. Overall, I received great medical care and yes! Everyone wore gloves too. It's Mexico, not a third world country. You'll be just fine! Chin up and go get sleeved! my total cost, including airfare was $4800.

Sleeved in Tijuana at Mexico Bariatric on 2/26. Fantastic experience! I paid less than my deductible would have been through my insurance. I was really discouraged when I heard about all of the people who were declined and the period of time I would have to wait. It was less than two weeks ago when I decided to go for it. Now, here I am... Sleeved and really happy I did it the way I did. If anyone is considering having surgery in MX, please reach out. I'll be more than happy to discuss my experience. 2/26 pre op weight 205 3/3 post op weight. 197 62 lbs to go!

One word.....Walmart! It's a half mile from the Marriott. I made the walk less than 48 hours after my surgery. I bought the water proof bandages and antiseptic spray for less than I would have in Chicago. I FELT I needed all of that however in reality, it was just a comfort thing. I didnt want my clothing rubbing against my sutures. Also, the water at the Marriott and Mi Doctor is filtered. Whomever had the "dirty water" fear can relax. Ecolab provides filtration for the hotel. You are safe!

I just had my sleeve done on 2/26 by Dr.Cabrara at Mexico Bariatric in Tijuana. I did see Dr.Lopez while I was there. He checked in on me during day 2. I had the same last minute panic attack that it was a scam, etc. I am here to tell you, they are legit. Good people, great service and very compassionate. I received better care and attention in Tijuana than I ever received during my c-section or gallbladder surgery in the states. The facility, Mi Doctor, is not by any stretch what I would consider opulent. It is a basic clinic, no frills but they have defibrillators at each end of the hall and an abundance of support staff including around the clock nurses that are readily available. It's very clean and everyone practices excellent personal and professional hygiene. I do have some advice regarding luggage. KEEP IT SIMPLE! Pack a few pairs of yoga pants, flip flops, roomy t-shirts and of course undergarments. However, the only time I wore a bra and underwear was when I arrived and when I departed. Trust me, it's way more comfortable this way. You'll want to pack trial sizes of conditioner for sure. I relied On The hotel for my soap and shampoo. From past experience, I can tell you DO NOT SHAVE ANY BODY PART OR APPENDAGE 24 hours or less prior to surgery. You increase your odds exponentially of contracting a staph infection through a nick or cut. Trust me. I went back to work this morning without incident. Just be careful about bending and stretching too much. Good and awesome luck to everyone pre and post op! You've made the right decision. Be patient with yourselves. Your world will change overnight however you will take much more time to adapt to your new lifestyle. Much Love! Judy PS: beware of Isopure. Please, I am begging you, buy a bottle BEFORE you buy the case. At first it appears to be a run if the mill sports drink. NOT SO FAST! I've never, ever tasted anything like it. UGH! that being said, it's the easiest and most convenient delivery system for 40 grams of Protein per serving. I'm committed to choking this stuff down because of that reason alone. Oh yeah, no sugar, no aspertame and ZERO carbs. Reason #2 I choke this stuff down. Did I already say ugh? Just brace yourself. 2/26 Pre Op weight 205.00 3/3 post Op weight 197.00 62 Lbs to go!

Just returned. Was sleeved on 2/26. It's really a no brainer. I'd have no hesitation to do it again.
