I am having gastric sleeve surgery in a month on April 22nd 2025 in Mexico. I am a librarian and certainly know how to do my research so I am 100% confident in the hospital and surgeon I have chosen.
I am not looking for horror stories or a list of reasons not to get surgery done out of the country. I'm confident in my decision and am just looking for anyone else who has had it done outside of the US or know anyone who has. Or anyone who has had the surgery at all. lol. Because I live so far from my surgeon the pre and post care is limited. I'm looking for advise on things I should make sure I do or don't do. I had a coworker who has lost over 200lbs (starting at over 500lb) with a full bypass in Mexico, and her only suggestion was to get a first class ticket home which I have done.
If you have any advise on the pre-surgery diet or pain relief, or recovery please let me know.
