Revision - Surgery Date Set - Dr. Verboonen (Cancun,MX)

Dec 07, 2016

It's been a few months since I've posted. I was in research mode, thinking about all my options. Should I do a revision, could I repair the slip, should I do the surgery home, or Mexico, how will I pay for it? It took me a few months to figure it all out. I ended opting to have surgery in Mexico. This isn't my first time travelling internationally for medical care, so the travel part is not my biggest concern. I am more worried about after care and wether or not all will go well. I suppose I would be equally nervous no matter where I opt to have it. So, after considering several things, I opted for Cancun over Tijauna. Coming from the east coast it made financial sense to go to Cancun. Plus I wanted a hospital with an ICU in case of an emergency, and not a clinic. So...lap-band revision to gastric sleeve it is. I also am having my gallbladder removed since I've been having issues with it. I will have surgery with Dr. Verboonen in Jan 2017. Deposit is paid, tickets purchased, hotel booked. My husband will be accompanying me.

The anxiety is killing me. I am nervous, scared, and everything in between. I know I have to remove my band, so no way around it. I will stay positive and pray that all goes well. It's all normal to feel this way, but I feel worst watching that scale climb to where I once was. That scares me more to be honest.
