@atcant@NikkiDoc..........don't judge until you know a persons situation. \I just came from hell, and am glad to be alive. Worst experience of my life, I researched hours and hours and hours and still made the wrong decision where to have this surgery in Tijuana. You sound very lucky to have had an educational, clean environment with good after and pre op help but a lot of people on this site didn't or don't have that luxury. I was with a nurse and her and her husband walked out the day after surgery....taking her life in her hands to get back to the US, There were tons of people coming in like cattle for such a scary surgery............lets be advocates for people to educate not punish, as believe e I am punishing myself enough.

I went to Mexico Monday for sleeve surgery( not a hospital as advertised, ore of a garage)!!....half the people I talked to had nooooooo idea about anything pre op , post op, . Now we all got one email with some instructions on it but come on, reading an email on a major life altering decision is not enough. I am pretty savvy well I thought, but made a bad choice on the place I had it done. It was like a horror show and I am glad I am safe at home...no one spoke English and have some compassion for the people who TRUST what they read for the sake of a miracle. I now wish I had gone the opposite way, took some classes to get more educated and had it done some where else. I made a mistake and can only learn and go foreword. This site has saved my life with advice, friendship and a kick in the ass when I needed it. I in turn will do the same for others. All we can do is help each other through the questions and concerns and maybe help direct them to a place for medical advice. To make me feel more like a loser, I did have noodles in my Soup yesterday, but by reading your posts, I now wont do that till it is ok to do so. There are hundreds of places that are not real hospitals that perform these surgeries which is scary in itself. just so you know, so ignorance might not be the factor, no education is.thanks.

Thanks Alex I just bought 4 bottles on line. :-( Glad to hear it though for others and myself to receive this information

hi I am going to Tijuana on Sunday, surgery Monday. While I have you wonderful peoples attention, I would like to ask a question. RAw truth is what I need. I have been so negative about this whole thing. Not in the moment with any goals, like Im going to lose 10 pounds per month till MYGOAL? Thinking and talking like its just another thing. My lovely husband flipped on me finally last night ( in a good way) and said, r u even excited? Why are you doing this if you are so negative about it being a great opportunity to be happy healthy and thinner? I just cried. I am just crying. I heard that again from a co worker today. WTF? I didn't even know, I haven't been excited, Ive been in a fog. What have your goals been, if any? Did or has any one felt like this unintentionally or other wise....uggggggggggggggggg, maybe Im truly scared to get this fat off of me after all. How does one be in the moment and have excitement about this whole life changing experience? Thanks,

Thanks ajcowgirl and other honest posts. It means alot to me. I do think perhaps the day i fly it might be exciting then. All your thoughts make sense to me. Babbs..yes totally my decision. .my money...i am researched out...lol. I think being negative is just self sabbatoge and im going to write some positive affirmations tonight. Thanks angels Xoxo
