Sure I can,

The hospital use the leg compression stockings that go up to your mid thigh area. Yes, they do a leak test before you leave the hospital, which is a gross taste. I am doing great! I had ZERO complications and everything went well. I never once had any problems. Until now I'm still doing wonderful. In one of my post to someone else I mentioned that I have lost 74lbs. The reason I'm back on here is because my daughter just had the sleeve and she had it in the states and she has been feeling nauseaed everyday for 3 weeks. It is a different type of surgery and the people I talked with that had the sleeve went through the same thing. But, as for me Dr. Rodriguez if a very good doctor and the hospital was the best as well.

I was in the same boat as you, so I ended up using A Lighter me just so only thing I'd have to do is pay them, and everything else will be arranged for me. My parents aren't happy either, but I know I need to do this for myself. My moms coming with me because she's scared to let me go alone, I am too, but you gotta do what you gotta do! 

Good luck!

I had the Sleeve.  I went with my husband.  It was nice to have a travel companion but I have seen a lot of people on here that go by themselves.

Thanks for responding. I want to go in the late part of May. But being on hear is confusing me so much now. I'm still weighing my options. Let me know who your final choice is.

I had surgery in October with Dr. Fernando Garcia of Tijuana Bariatrics.  My mom was not thrilled that I was going to Mexico to have this done, but it was either Mexico or nothing as I could not afford to self-pay in the US.  I would recommend Dr. Garcia.  I have also heard many people say that they had a hernia repair with Dr. Lopez and my coordinator had told me that if I have a hernia, I would know about it ahead of time, so I wonder about that too with Dr. Lopez and that is one of the main reasons why I did not choose him.
