Has anyone had their WLS in Mexico? Where is the best place to go? Where do I need to stay away from? Thanks!
-
I have a BMI of 32. I have called a few places in my state (Utah) and they all say I need to have a BMI of 35 or higher. I know that I will have to pay out of pocket, but I am having a hard time finding somewhere that will do the surgery for a sleeve with BMI 32. Where have you had your surgeries?
-
Where do you get your unflavored protein powder?
-
I will message you! BTW I am feeling so much better now 😊
-
Yes. Thank you for asking. I feel better and better each day. I’m still a little lightheaded and have to rest most of the day, but I feel so much better. I have lost 13 pounds since Friday. I’m sure it will slow down once I can eat more. How are you feeling?
-
Thank you for your kind words. Today I feel a little better. I pray each day I get better and better. I’m just so thankful to be in my own home and not in Mexico. I hope our energy will be up soon!

I’m finally updating.... I flew to Mexico and had my surgery on Friday. I flew home yesterday and crawled right into bed. I had the worst experience. I am still nauseous and haven’t been able to get much down. I know that some people have had excellent experiences going to Mexico, but unfortunately mine was not. I regret having the surgery. I get up to walk and I am so light headed and have to lay back down. I haven’t thrown up today, thankfully. My flight back home yesterday was awful and I threw up a couple times. I had nothing in me and it was horrible. Today I have sipped a little Gatorade today and was able to suck on a popsicle. I pray I get feeling better soon and can get rid of the dizziness and nausea. I have no energy. I hope no one else goes through this.

That is great that you have lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks! Are you still eating pureed food or are you eating regular food?
-
That is amazing! Thank you for sharing with me. I’m so glad it worked for you. I hope I am the same way. I have surgery today! I’m getting ready to leave soon. I’m having the VSG. My BMI is 32 and I heard that it is a slow weight loss for lower BMI. I’m hoping to lose a fair amount quickly. I’m nervous and excited. I hope it all goes well! What did you eat on the clear liquid for the week after surgery? I’ve only been on liquids for 3 days pre surgery and I struggled. I am so hungry. I just ate sugar free jello, chicken broth and premier protein shakes. I too lost 5 pounds before surgery. Also, did you feel hungry after surgery? Sorry for so many questions 😂
-
How quickly did you start losing?
-
I was put on just a 3 day liquid diet. Today is my first day and it’s miserable.
-
That is good to know. I’m scheduled to have my sleeve on Friday. I wonder if it’s too late to switch to bypass? I’ll have to ask today.
-
I’m curious... what made you switch from sleeve to bypass?
-
Good luck everyone!! I hope everyone’s surgery’s go well today. Let us know how you all are doing! I’m trying to get myself packed and ready to go. My husband and I fly out Friday morning and I go in for surgery that afternoon. I start my 3 day liquid diet tomorrow. So exciting!!
-
That would be great! I’ll be there with my husband. What have you been doing to get ready?

I am having my surgery with Dr Illan on Nov 6! I’m so excited and also a bit nervous.
-
I was just put on a 3 day liquid diet. Clear liquids the day before surgery.

Hey all!! I have my vsg scheduled for Nov 6. I feel like I need to be preparing, but I have no idea what to prepare for. I am flying to San Diego on the 6th and having surgery the same day in Tijuana at Hospital BC. I am so nervous and excited! I could use any advice you have. What to bring, what to prepare at home before I leave, anything! My Dr put me on a 3 day liquid diet. What did you all drink during that time? What did you love to eat afterwards? What should I buy now to stock up for after surgery? Please help!

Thank you for sharing your experience! I leave for surgery with Dr Illan on November 6. I’m so excited and also nervous. How are you doing now? I would love to hear an update. Also, is there anything you recommend bringing with you to Mexico? -
I hear ya! I am a serious Diet Coke addict. I’m trying to slow down now before I have to go cold turkey!
