First of all, let me start by saying that I have been an RN for 16 years now and have taken care of MANY people whom have had WLS (here in the states mind u) that have been messed up beyond belief!!! Typically, nothing to do with the surgery itself. Almost always from not following the RULES after surgery!! When they say, don't smoke, no alcohol, SIP lots of water, chew ur food to a puree, always take ur vitamins, get all ur protein in, etc....They mean it!!!!!

I was feeling the same as u. And, after walking the walk & talking the talk & doing what the insurance companies have required of me then to receive denials for one ridiculous reason or another, I decided, "SCREW YOU INSURANCE!!!!" I decided I was going to have this surgery I desperately wanted & needed come hell or high water!! If I go to Mexico, have surgery & die, so be it cuz I'm gonna keel over and die if I don't have it!!! I was leary of having surgery in Mexico...all based on stereotypical ideas!!!! So, I did my research. The internet is a wonderful thing!! I decided on a surgeon, forwarded my info, paid my down payment, scheduled my surgery date, booked my flight and I'm just about ready for my new life to start on March 24th!!

So, DO NOT BE SCARED OF SURGERY IN MEXICO!!!! DO BE SCARED OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES POST-OP!!!! 

What hospital did you stay?

I would love to know what hospital you had surgery in and how your experience was with doc Alo Lopez.

My surgery is with Dr. Fernando Garcia also..scheduled for March 14, 2016...is there anything you can tell me about your experience with the hospital or things that I should know before I go?  

i also went through beliteweight and had the same surgeon and I'm 2.5 weeks post op and feeling great with my new sleeve, I would highly recommend them!
