I weigh 200 and this is gonna be my first and hope last weight loss surgery. Going to Dr Almanza in Tijuana in few weeks. Waiting on passport. Little nervous about loose skin ??? Anyone. I don't have any kinda marks or scars on me and hate the idea of having these big incisions scars on my stomach

Hi Melody,

i'm from Ok and was just down at Mexicalli last week. I don't think you have to worry much about scarring unless you get an infected one or you keloid or something (which I do in some areas), I can already tell 4 places will be almost impossible to find and the only one that may be noticed is where the drain was. Your dr may not even use a drain, so there ya go... Good luck to you...

What doctor did u go to ?

Fort Smith AR here also went to TJ. At 3 months scars are still dark but well worth the 35 pound weight loss

Oh my gosh. I panicked and had to look up what "keloid" meant. Freaked for a minute then realized I have had cuts and gashed my foot open once and it healed back normal. Woo feel a lot better now. LoL

Yes I am starting to realize the weight off is much more important than some scars

Good luck to you Melody, I bet you'll do just fine.

I was really excited the closer it gets the more nervous I get. Thinking about the outcome when it's all said and done keeps me motivated.

I agree. My surgery is Dec. 5 and my biggest worry I think is being sick. I just try to concentrate on the end results.

Mine is on dec 14th and my worries are excess skin ans being sick

[Melody 6]

I had originally planned Dec 4th but I'm still awaiting my passport. So I have decided to wait till after Christmas. I've afraid I'll be sore and sick in Christmas. I don't wanna spoil my sons Christmas by not feeling good.

Yeah I was thinkimg the same but... I will stick to my plan been waiting for toooooo long lol

[I love my dachshunds 14]

That's understandable. My kids are grown so I decided to go ahead.

[Readytolose2012 88]

My worst time was one week after surgery, dizzy and exhausted. I worked thurs and fri, then sat and sun I rested before going back to work on Monday. Other than those two days everything was good. It was way easier than I thought it would be.

I went to Dr Aceves...
