For those who had surgery in Mexico...



Recommended Posts

I went by myself. The doctor's office staff took great care of me, I was never scared, and over all it was a lot easier not having to worry about someone else while I was there. They took me back to the airport and I went home. Quick and easy.

My mother went with me, but I was originally going to go alone. Many people were there alone, and they had GREAT support from all staff.

I took my little sister with me but I saw many women who were there all by themselves. If I had to, I could put a bra on all by myself but I had my sister help me and carry my bag for me. It is doable by yourself from my point of view.

I went by myself. I didn't want to have to worry about someone else's boredom on top of my own healing. You meet other women/men having these procedures too so you won't be bored and usually the staff in Mexico are beyond amazing.

I went with my husband, but it would have been doable alone. The staff is very accommodating and helpful.

I went by myself and honestly glad I did. The staff will take wonderful care of you and you don't have to worry about the comfort or boredom of a guest.

      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.
