    Pre-op emotional issues and eating, shake tips

    Hi, I am having my surgury on 8 July 2010 on Tijuena Mexico with Dr Lopez Ortega, and his wife Dr Osuna. I live in san diego and I went and check out INT Hospital my friend had cancer of the collen and her surgury was in this same hospital. My friend who was a nurse in Mexico went with me. I spent about 2 hour with Dr Lopez staff and I wasn't even scheduled with anyone yet. He took time to answerd all my questions and health concerns I had. I went back home and scheduled my appointment for 8 July 2010.

    Surgery date! Aug 2nd w/ Aceves~!

    Just wanted to share my expirance yesterday, as I decided to venture into Tijiuana Mexico with two friends of mine. One friend was a nurse in mexico for many years and the other was a dentist in Mexico. We all currently work in health care in San Diego and have been friends for many years. Mr Thomas is from Mexico and needed to have have part of her collon removed because she had cancer, and she was seen in INT Hospital about 2 months ago and had her surgury the same place I am thinking about having my sleeve done. Mrs Thomas had to get a dental filling done and me and Maria decided to go check out the doctor and the Hospital. I it was important to me to check out th facility and met the staff, this was important to me because I work in the health care field and if I refur any one to any doctor or hospital I would use it myself, plus i needed to get the sleeve myself. I called around to many places there were only two that would let me visit. One only did the band, and the doctor's office I was looking to see. I was so impressed with Dr Lopez Ortega and his assistant Bibi, I spent about 2 hours in the hospital and speaking with Bibi. She spoke english fluntly and her caring nature put me at ease. She took me around the hospital, supper clean you could eat off the floor. Very nice accomadations then Bibbi asked if I wanted to speak to th doctor. I was suprised he would see me because I had no appointment nor was I even schedule with him for the sleeve. I told him I had a ucler and I was wondering how this would effect me if I decieded to have this procedure. He put me at ease he told me that the sleeve would be the best fit for me because that would be taken out the majority of my stomach and the would check the remaining tube knowing that I may have a ulcer. Thank you god for pointing me in the right direction with this doctor and hospital. I hope this will help anyone else out the thinking about the sleeve. P.S I forgot to tell you all that the also let me meet one of the patients who had the surgury the day before she looked great. The whole thing was a great experiance. As soon as I got home I went to his website and scheduled my surgury 8 July 2010.
  6. Hi just want to send my prayers out to you. I live in San Diego and I am have a supper sleeve done soon. Please let me know how it went. thanks navymom435.
  7. Hi my name is Marsha Duka and I am 48 year old and stand 5 11. I have three grown children and two grand kids. I have decided to have a super sleeve done. I have been in health care over 25 years and I feel this is the best surgury for me. I was in the navy for 22 years and never had a weight problem. Once I retired and hurt my back I gained over 100 lbs. The supper sleeve is a new procedure they basicly fold the stomach and suture it. The part I like no cutting. I live in san diego so am have Dr Joel Rodriguz in Tijiuna Mexico. I have done my research all the doctors in mexico. I will have it done in July or Aug 2010. Will keep you all posted.:lol0:
