June 17th in Mexico. I know that I am in the hospital for 2 nights. I am good with that they do 3 leak tests before u go to the recovery condo for another night. I chose to stay an extra 2 days because of the flying plus it will be like a mini holiday...lol well maybe not. Good luck everyone

Had VSG at Obesity Control Center in TJ 17 months ago. 1 night stay at hospital, 2 nights at the Marriot. Spent those 2 days shopping and hanging out with my sister. Drain removed and barium fluoroscopy leak test third day before flying home. Easy, pain free recovery. Back to work at active, physical job in 7 days. Lost 100 pounds in less than 8 months and easily maintaining 10 pounds below goal. OCC provided excellent postop followup and I have had no long term complications.

There is an entire subforum on here for Mexico and self pay patients with a LOT of threads you may want to read.

I'll be getting sleeved in Tijuan as well. I'm still doing a lot of research on the Dr's. I know there are many good surgeons in TJ. I just want to make sure I choose the right one.
