Kristy Giovanelli

Hi guys getting on the airplane tomorrow for San Jose, Having my surgery in Tijuana. Can someone try to link me to you guys on facebook, a private messaging so we can keep in touch, my facebook is kristine_giovanelli YOu will see two very blonde kids as my logo or whatever, just want to stay in the loop and feel connected, very scared and nervous, lets go Kristy

Hi all, I get sleeved on Wednesday March 20, I am a little scared but super excited. My friend told me (who had a band) that her basic protein shake consisted of ice/protein/ 1/2c yogurt/ almond silk/ 2 splenda/banana/breakfast essentials dry. I have for my protein Synthrax Nectar Sweets; this sounds like a filling shake with a lot of calories? Is this the type of shake I am to be making when I come home from my surgery, I tried a lot of shakes premade and don't like the taste but I like that the calories are listed. I am getting my surgery in Mexico so I don't have a nutritionalist to ask. Thanks for any help

Hi girls can you add me to, I'm on facebook, but I'm not that great at how to do it. I just want to make sure that private means my other facebook friends don't see it, I belong to a moms club and have lots of those women on my facebook and I don't want them to know I am having this surgery. Truthfully none of my family is being told only my husband and brother. My stats are 34yrs old currently 189lbs want to be around 140 and most importantly to stop ping ponging. I am 5'2" and female. I have no pictures with myself with my two kids 3 and 4 because I hate my weight so much. Thanks Kristy

Add another for March 20!! I am getting sleeved in TJ MX by Dr. Garcia. I start pre-op diet on Monday shakes and a salad w/ protein for dinner! So this weekend I want to drink and eat! I am excited and nervous, let's all keep in touch

Mine is on March 20, glad to see there are some others that are march 20th as well. I had to have both my feet operated on last week for bunionettes, I am on bedrest now, I just hope I can walk through the airport and the pain between my feet and tummy won't be overwhelming. The surgery on the feet really distracted me for the past couple months thinking of that surgery. Now that its done, I know the big surgery is coming quick. Anyone got ideas of what they are going to bring with them. Is anyone bringing someone with them. My brother is coming with me, my husband is staying home with the kids.

I am scheduled for surgery March 20, I fly from PA to San Diego to have it done at Mi hospital with Dr. Fernando Garcia. I too had this scheduled since December and at the time I just wanted it done, now I am pretty scared and time did fly. I need to really start learning the post op diet so I am prepared. And I need to do a pre op diet for one week. I am 185 I want to be 140

I am going to have my surgery in Mexico in march. I live in pa I got a direct flight no stops its a night flight leave at 10:15pm home at 6:00am (time difference) any suggestions to be more comfortable

Hi everybody I'm scheduled march 20 at hospital mi doctor with Dr Garcia through ready 4 a change alma deposit paid airline tickets purchased I'm excited and nervous how do they know u did the preop diet of protein shakes for two weeks? Then all liquid diet for two days with diarrhea meds

I'm not so scared about how fast or slow the weight comes off, I am scared I don't ever want the weight to come back on. I am a horrible yo yo dieter I have lost weight previously only to put it back on even faster. Any advice to that, any time I google long term data it says none is available yet on this procedure. I guess that is my real fear. Thanks everyone for help. I'm not going to worry about bougie size.

thanks everyone

Dr Kelly. Has been my fist choice but according to christy from baratric weight center he normally does a 36 bougie for safety my bmi is 33 I really want a 32 any suggestions Dr cabrera and Dr venezuela

Thanks now I think I have an understanding, I am just a little scared going out of country and something going wrong! I definitely got my question answered and am ready, think I'm going to go with Dr. Kelly like his background, going with Christy thanks guys I'm looking at March 20!!!!

See that is why I am confused, so many people on here said Dr. Kelly doesn't have coordinator, and Cecilia Reyes from WLSClinic said he doesn't use coordinators that she is directly connected with him and anyone else who claims to "use him" is "False Advertising" exact words. I like Dr. Kelly's credentials, love that I may not have a drain tube!! Christy with Mexico Bariatric Center says she does have Dr. Kelly and at Mi hospital (which I also heard through the vine he doesn't do surgery there) Christy told me she doesn't know why I am getting misleading info but she is a coordinator for Dr. Kelly and I can schedule him at Mi Hospital, I'm worried if I pay the extra for him its a bait and sitch or I am questioning the integrity of someone, Cecilia or Christy they both can't be telling the truth. I like what I read from lilolme said and its up to date she just had hers, and I just wish I heard a few others saying the same thing. Thanks for any help with this confusion

I'm thinking of getting porcelien veneers, waiting to hear back price quote!
