Corinnacs 4 Posted August 14, 2016 For those of you who had surgery in Mexico, did you take someone with you for help/support or did you go alone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharonintx 1,275 Posted August 14, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amy Thompson 0 Posted August 14, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lema 236 Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) 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.

determinedtolive 134 Posted August 16, 2016 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.

sprocket 104 Posted August 16, 2016 I went with my husband, but it would have been doable alone. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lworth33 3 Posted August 17, 2016 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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
