My daughter was scheduled for that day also with Dr Illan but we are going to try insurance resubmission in 6 months to see if we can get her approved. I think it is worth one more try before we head to Mexico. So if that does not work we will review again the options in Mexico after the first of the year.

I had my surgery on the 17th of June here in the US, but since my daughters insurance was denied, she will have to self pay... Thus the route through Mexico. I have been very appreciative of the candid feedback from this group who have already had first hand experiences with the surgeons in Mexico. Honestly, it is a very big decision and all information available should be reviewed before the decision is made. The fluffery on the various bariactric web sites can be a nice read, but actual experiences from all of you is what I believe to be the truth in all of it! So thank you for responding to these posts!

For now we have looked strangely at Aceves and Pompa. I am curious if anyone has specific feedback on the facilities, care, etc on either of theses drs. Most importantly, did they perform as promised.... Was the facilities up to date and clean, was staff attentive, and was dr everything you had hoped for in expertise?

I am probably more cautious here because it is my daughter I am sending down. She is everything in my life, and if can't imagine life without her. I want the best for her obviously and do not want to set her up with a dr who plays any bait and switch games.

I really do appreciate any feedback you all can give me. We are looking for a July date, so we must make our final decision. this week! She is very unhappy in her body and I am so looking forward to seeing her gorgeous smile again once she is on the other side of this journey.

So good to read your posting, we are having the same issue. I was approved because of my medical conditions but my daughter was not, she is schedule with Dr. Fernando Garcia, Ready4Achange, July 31. I have researched and researched and they have been phenomenal (Alma) with everything. I will keep you posted! Please do the same, thanks!

      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!
