How many traveled to Mexico alone?

It looks like I may be traveling from US to Mexico alone. How many people went by themselves? How was your experience? I'm just curious.

Thanks for your replies in advance :)

I went with my friend but we both had surgery on the same day...so we were kind of on our own as far as having someone there while we were "out of it". We used Dr. Ortiz thru A Lighter Me. The entire team treated us like family and I was never concerned a bit about the whole trip. Good luck!!

I have travelled to Mexico alone 3 times(twice to Tijuana and once to Monterrey) if you pick the right coordinating group you will be fine very safe. I am going again in September going with bariatric pal this time.

I went to Mexico on my own. I flew in to San Diego and they picked me up, took me across the border and then I had surgery the next day. I felt very safe and would do it again if I had to.

The hospital and staff were amazing. I think I received better care in Mexico than I've ever received in the US.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
