My aunt and uncle went there. They are doing great and speak highly of their experience. It's too much for me to self pay there... I had research further and starting looking into Medical Tourism. My surgery date is 3/11/13.

I've heard great things about Dr. Garcia. Did you book thru Ready 4 a Change? There are several people who speak very highly of him on the Self Pay/Mexico forum.

I've been going back and forth with my patient coordinator for the last half an hour trying to get connected with Dr. Ortiz for questions. Sounds like he is buzzing around like a mad man! LOL...everytime the phone rings my heart starts pounding!! I don't usually feel like this unless I'm about to stand up and speak in public! Hope I don't lose my voice like I usually do when that happens....all he will hear is squeaks!!

      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!
