Just a update on my husband. He has been off pic line for two weeks still on some diet restrictions. He is feeling much better and the leak has completely healed with no additional surgery. So thankful for that. I am down 45 pounds from the sleeve so is he. I feel better and can't wait to drop more. Thank you all for your kind words.

I have not spoken to the surgeon. I have spoke with people who sent us there and that's one thing I wish we would have thought about. But I still wouldn't change it. By not getting it in states your lacking the Care that you could have and support. I personally recommend taking some classes about the the surgery itself and care after. Or just loads of research. My Dr was Marcelo Hernandez and we was at the HMN hospital. The hospital is nothing like ours..at first I was like what am I thinking. But jumped in anyway.

My husband did come home yesterday. Will be a long hard road for him. He just wants food in his mouth. He loves to eat. He is regretting his decision at this point. Said he would rather be over weight. He will be on pic line only for these two weeks. The healing will determine. If he continues pic line or will start on liquids only for few weeks.

He found the leak about three weeks after. Yes they did a leak test before we left. He was fine. When it started we do not know. He had trouble drinking and he thought his pain was from his back. He fractured it a week before surgery. They did a leak test it's not large. He was in hospital for a week on antibiotics and a pic line for nutrition. Tested again yesterday. It is smaller but not healed. He has two weeks before they test again. If healing it great if it does not heal may do a stint. So praying for better outcome. He's not there because of our decision to go to Mexico. It's happens here too. There was two ladies who was there with same issue only in worse condition who had their sugery here in state. So it is a complication that can happen anywhere. I feel great. Only thing I have trouble with is I always drank alot. So just teaching myslef to sip. So far so good.

My husbands friend and his gf told us of one they used. We used WeightLossAgents. We went to Tijuana. My husband and I both did. We had sleeve done on 6/24. I am down 33 and he down 45! I felt great and no issues he has a leak, so not what we expected. Not even sure if insurance will cover any hospital cost at this moment. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I just had the gastric sleeve on 6-24. My husband and I did it together. He was our Dr. As well. I feel awesome. Everything went great. Although right after surgery I was yelling at myself in so much pain. Their pain meds didn't help much. Surgery room nothing like ours, but I knew that before I went in. My husband on other hand has a leak. He has been in hospital for 6 days now. In two days we will know what his options are. But that can happen here too Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
