It has only been 6 weeks post op and in down 35lbs!!! This has been the best decision that I have ever made and I only wish I would've done it years ago!!! This journey isn't for the week minded!!! It is a very mental journey! Hardest thing I have ever had to do but I wouldn't take it back for nothing. The nurses were fabulous and very attentive. The hotel was spotless. I have been to places all over the world and have never seen staff clean the hotel the way these ones did! Hospital was also very clean! I was scared going into Mexico to have this done but with my insurance not wanting to pay I didn't have a choice and I'm glad that I did. The hotel has security 24 hours and I never felt like I was in any danger. If you are thinking of making this life change do it! I didn't have any pain except for the gas but walking took care of that. I was a bit nauseous from the sedation but that was gone after 24 hours. I felt great and even went shopping two days instead of the one.
