Help Plastic Surgery Date Dec 10th Mexico



Recommended Posts

Hello Lapband Family :)

So I decided to have my surgery done in Tijuana Mexico and wanted help and advice from those who have been there not only had the surgery done in Mexico but had surgery done in general.

I will be having the Tummy Tuck, Lipo and breast lift. Going to Doctor Luis Suarez.

I have a couple of questions for those who have gone through the surgical path already.

How long before you felt you can get back to your regular job (Or in my case Desk Job) I hope that I can at least work from home the second week after my surgery? Am I pushing it here?

After the pain is gone and you can go about your days what has been the hardest thing to adjust to. I hear you are not fully healed till about 8 weeks after the surgery?

And please if anyone can give me some advice on going to Mexico or if you went to Dr Suarez and can tell me about your experience I would really appreciate it :)

I am freaking out here :help:

      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?
