Hi make sure you wear compression socks and continually drink Water through out the flight. The Dr may give you some other form of medication while you are there to prevent blood clots on the way home. Send an email to your Dr and tell them that you are nervous about the 6hr flight do they have any special recommendations. Don't panic

Ausmith and xtina.. Thank you so much for you support.. Good look to every one that is going to Mexico to have this done!!!! We all be fine!!! Lot of prayers!!!!

Those with long flights make sure you are stretching your legs and getting out of your seat at least once an hour to prevent blood clots! Keep your circulation flowing!

I had surgery at OCC in Tijuana 2/25 & it was a great experience. My friends & family were against it also but my daughter went with me & is now fully on board with it, the staff at the hospital & Marriott were wonderful, the Van driver that picked us up in San Diego was also wonderful. I did very well with the surgery as I followed all the instructions I lost 12 pounds on the ore-op diet & now am down 25 pounds total as I put 6 pounds back on after surgery which is expected .

Good luck I am sure you will be pleased & do well

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
