Hi everyone. I'm having surgery the end of march with dr. Pompa in Mexico through weight loss forever. Just wanted to see if there is anyone out there who has had surgery with this doctor and if you could share your experience with me Thanks
-
Good luck with it all.

She is a lot more expensive than other doctors. But I would not have went anywhere else. Go to weightlossforever.ca and they will help you every step of the way. The staples that this surgery require are 3500 alone. So when a doctor is only charging 4500-5000. You kinda wonder if they are using the right equipment.

Best Gastric Sleeve Doctors in Mexico
slimkimmy replied to baby_angel's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Dr. Pompa is the best surgeon out there. I had my surgery mar 27. And I am down 51 pounds. That includes pre op. She is wonderful and so is her team. -
Where did you add me. I'm new to this site and have no idea how it works. Lol

I think she is one of the top surgeons around. If not the best. You will be well taken care of. Any questions feel free to ask. Take care.

3 weeks post op--having trouble eating enough
slimkimmy replied to sarahbethf's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Wow I can't believe you can eat soft foods at three weeks. I wish I was able too. My post op diet is 3 weeks clear fluids, 3 weeks full fluids and then two weeks of soft foods. I'm not even allowed protein shakes til 5 weeks out. It's so weird how every doctor has a different post op plan. You would think it would be the same for everyone seeing how it's the same surgery and all. -
No I was one of the lucky ones. Never had gas pain at all. My surgery was 2 pm. They had me up walking 8 hours later. The more u walk the better, for the gas and blood clots. I heard of gas x strips works well. But I never had to use them personally.

I know she is expensive. But we are suppose to have titanium staples in our sleeve and they cost almost 4 grand. So I wondered why everyone else is so cheap. But I know her practice is a private one so maybe that's why. But I would not have went anywhere else. I felt very safe and comfortable the moment I stepped into her clinic.

Lol. Sent it to fast. As I was saying. The staff are awesome and their English is not bad. I understood them fine and they understood what I wanted. I had hardly any pain and now I'm down 17 pounds since surgery two weeks ago. I would highly recommend them and I can't wait to go back and get my plastics with the doc there. Let me know If there is anything Else u wanna know. Take care and good luck
