Hello! I'm scheduled and ready to go in a couple of months to Tijuana! This is so out of my comfort zone! Anyone either gone, or will be going? Please share the good, the bad, and the ugly if there is any.

Hi!!!

Congrats on taking the first steps.

(From my experience)

Good - and others

Well organized staff and doctors

Felt very taken care of from all areas start to finish.

Best thing I did — in order you gain control over food and my health

Also: Know it’s a tool. You will have ups and downs.

Some not fun and interesting things I did not think about

Gas

Drain tube taken out - after it was a relief !!!

heart burn

Seeing how much others can and will eat - for me knowing that’s how I was

People will ask you when you do go out:

are you not hungry?

Waitstaff- everything ok with your food ?

certain ppl in your life might get jealous

At the end of the day remember this is about your personal goal and health path. You don’t have to explain anything you don’t want.

hope that helps

Tami

Hi. I’m scheduled for the sleeve in TJ on 05/09. I’m a bit anxious about the possibility of complications but I’ve been telling myself for 25 years that I could do it alone. I intentionally scheduled my date a few months out so I can get mentally prepared for the required lifestyle changes and to read as much as I can about the process.

I did my surgery 3/10/2022 in Tijuana with Dr.Almánzar, best decision ever. Everything went well and I’m already 26 pounds lighter.
