I had surgery in October 2014 with Dr. Fernando Garcia. I have minimal scarring and am down 114 lbs. It can be very daunting doing surgery in a foreign country but I and many others have had very positive experiences. If you want more info, inbox me. Good luck to you!
I know you probably don't want to hear this at only 9 days out, but I went back to regular coffee at about a month out. It is supposed to dehydrate you, so I only drink one cup a day. It will get better, hang in there.
Thanks for the support. It is nice to tall to other people going through the same things as me. Im 2 days out, and I feel good. The Marriot in puerto Valarta is awsome! I find myslef missing food though. I hope that gets easier, and like TD, im realllllllly gonna miss my coffee when I go back to work. Im pretty sure I will go decaf. I dont know if i can take it
They will not send you back to Mexico....but you'll be treated by ER staff.

So happy for you and your journey! love to hear feed back (soon I will be leaving and headed to Tijuana Feb 19th!) Having a lot of anxiety.. but more than ready to make the change!
Keep us posed on your recovery! Would love to hear more!
Hi to you all that have not read or no my story or for those who are new.
I recommend this surgery highly it is so powerful,this will not do Milagros if you do not do what you are supposed to it is just a tool.
On the other hand this tool is very powerful and does work. And fast by the way I had surgery about two months out and days out.
I have lost about 38lbs but with all and the pre op diet and I feel great.
I had surgery on the 28 of November with Dr.Segio Quinones whom I really like and recommend to any body who is self pay and looking for surgery. I had the surgery in Tijuana. The facility is very peaceful and quite and the staff and nurses are always right a a single button away. The whole staff speak perfect English and the nurses that speak Spanish always have some one with them to translate for them. I had a really nice time in the Hotel that they put up for me and also very clean. The first week post op was kinda ruff due to the gas that I has all over my body but that is normal. And my doctor had recommended some medicine for that so that help a little, i thought it was going to be harder though and about a week after surgery I was just fine. The doctor was so gentle that I had no pain in my in-sessions what so ever just gas pain. I had a little time to get used to drinking water I had to heat it up just a bit,then it would go down just fine.
But like I said I am out 2 months and loving watch the inces and pound just shred off. I have never seen a diet or any thing that can or could help us so fast to loos weight. So if you ever are looking for a great place to go and are a self pay patient I would recommend going to Tijuana with Sergio Quinones he is a great doctor and has a really great staff.
Chemicals :( decaf is not good for the body, something to do with the process to strip the caffeine. Ahh well lol
You are a God send! I have been back and forth with A lighter me and Ready 4 a change. I did some research and didn't feel right about Dr. Ortiz. I found Dr. Lopez and for some reason I felt good about him. My friend is going on the 19th of this month to Ortiz. I was going to wait to hear her experience. I wanted to go with Lopez from the start but didn't know anyone hat has used him. What hospital did you have your surgery in?
