Hello RealSelfers!! So I’ve finally narrowed my search down to two places - Long term WLS LLC and A Slimmer Me both located in TJ Mexico.
Both have been very good at communicating, informative and friendly.

Hello! Yes, I finally made a choice. http://longtermvsg.com
Dr. Maytorena and I have surgery Friday July 19th
July 18, 2019
Best of luck I am 2 days post surgery and feeling good. I fly home on the 19th. Just walk every hr after surgery for a few min and it helps a lot with the gas they pump inside. Because I did that I had hardly any gas pain.

Dr Maytorena
I decided to go with Dr. Maytorena because of the groups facebook page. After reading meany reviews here I stumbled upon Long Term WLS Facebook page. Seeing case after case of success and the family like support I knew I found my doctor and people.
I've been over weight for most of my high school years, list the weight on phen phen only to gain it back and more after the birth of my first child. I managed to lessen my weight but after the birth of child # 2 it was a struggle. Then my mom died of cancer. I took her loss harder than I imagined and ate for comfort. Standing at 5' 1/4" at 205 my BMI was 40 and I had to Do something.

You look amazing in your updated photos. What has the post-care and communication with Dr. Mayortena's office been like? One of my major concerns is going to TJ and not having good post-care if there are any complications with the surgery. Did you feel well enough to go home a day or two after surgery? And have you been in touch with his office since the surgery? Thanks!

Hello!
Post care is taken care if by your general doctor.
I had no complications, not even gas but I did have nausea from being put under. I felt good after day two.
No contact with the office since. Mostly because there is a Facebook group everyone uses to get questions answers.
I'm about 5 lbs away from my goal of 125 it's been a year.
I went with Alo Bariatrics
I chose Puerto Vallarta but they are in Tijuana also.
Dr Lopez travels between clinics and he is really good. I had my procedure yesterday and feel great. The whole experience has been wonderful so far.
