hello all; I am travelling to mexico by myself. Is there anything that I should look out for.  Has anyone else travelled alone for sleeve surgery?

Yes and you will be fine who is your surgeon. Dr Ponce's team was awesome at picking u up and taking care of you.

Dr. Sauceda future patient  - body will be by Sauceda!

Hi there, I also travelled alone...went to Mexicali with Dr. Aceves.  I thought it was much easier to just worry about myself than anyone else.  Met another sleever at the airport, travelled together to the hospital with staff member and had our sleeves the same day so it was nice to meet her and go through it with someone else but I'm glad I went alone.

Good luck!

I had 3 surgeries in Mexico (RNY, and 2 rounds of plasics) and went down alone each time. I have mixed feelings about it... I was fine but if you can take a pal/family member do it. It's boring and meds/anesthesia make you emotional and its nice to have someone. I underestimated that. If anything have a laptop or cellphone with international calling plan so you can chat when needed.
