Recommended Posts

This may seem like a strange question for those of you who have had surgery in Mexico...do you tip the drivers??

Yes its a good idea. They do still work in Mexico so like a resort, they don't make alot of money.... they drive you all over the place, including shopping so its really nice to tip them if you can.

I think it is polite to tip the driver. It is not expected of you.

I did tip both my drivers (one on the way in was covering for the regular driver).

For those that have tipped...did you tip each time they drove you? How much did you tip?

We tipped twice I think. Once on our way back one night we gave them about 50 pesos each for a beer or two, and on the last time Tony drove us we gave $40.

I tipped him when he dropped me off at the airport for the trip home.

Tipped Ernesto $5 on the way from San Diego and $10 on the way back.

Sarah are you going alone? I'm going to be there a day early so I'll be in town for your surgery actually. Do you want me to come with you and hold your hand? I'm more than willing to if you're going to be alone, I know I'd be scared as heck going in alone!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
