Hi my sleeve family....well my day has come going to Mexico to have my sleeve done Dr. Kelly tomorrow...Any last items I should pack.....should I check my bag in or take it with me on the plane? Also, those who went to Mexico how much cash did you take?

Thanks Family

I just got back from Mexico yesterday, had my surgery on the 28th with Dr. Kelly. For last minute items, I would recommend bringing some Gatorade powder packets rather than spending a fortune at the airport for it. If you booked your surgery through Trish then I would say you need nothing else as she will get you everything you need while in Mexico. Make sure to make copies of your driver's license, passport, and credit card and store them in your bags. I would also recommend packing light if your going to be moving your luggage after the surgery. I would also recommend taking some sweaters/sweat pants if you get easily get cold as it gets a little chilly at night in Tijuana. I took $250 dollars to Mexico with me and it covered an additional two nights I stayed at The Lucerna and some light souvenir shopping.

Hope your surgery goes well.

Take care,

Darren

Congratulations! I didn't have my sleeve in Mexico but I do visit there often. Everyone I meet is helpful and kind--I've never had a problem.

I would take one credit card with you just in case there is a complication and you need some extra money. Don't forget to call them and tell them your going to Mexico so your card doesn't get flagged if you need to use it. I had to stay over at the hospital an extra night and needed a credit card to change my flights. In addition, the hospital will not take a personal check.

Take care,

Darren

      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!
