NEED A TRAVEL BUDDY FOR MY GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY????



Recommended Posts

@@belindadcns Hi☺ I am planning on going with Dr Fernando Garcia Govea in Tijuana Mexico. How much is Dr , Altamarino charging for the surgery and how many days would I be in the hospital and the hotel? When do you plan on going? I want to try and have it done before the year ends. I want to go into 2016 feeling good and looking better then I do now.

Ok☺ I'm from Louisiana. I just checked out the deals here on Bariatrics pal website. If they find a hernia they'll repair it for free! That's a plus! I wonder how much they would charge to remove the gallbladder @@belindadcns?

I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico alone this summer to get my surgery. I am from canada so it was a longer trip. My bf and sister both offered to come with me but I figured I'd rather go to mexico with them on holiday rather than for surgery. That way we can enjoy it together. I am hoping to return there after Christmas.

When my bf left me at airport security, I was scared. I almost turned back. It seemed like a crazy idea to be flying to mexico to get my stomach cut out. But that was literally the only time I was scared. After that, it was all excitement!! I couldn't believe I was so lucky as to have this new gift and was hopeful and excited for the future. So happy!

If you can't find a travel buddy, please try not to worry. You can do this!!

      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.
