    Any Tijuana Sleevers?

    I used Dr. Corvala as well on 9/29/15. I flew into San Diego on Tuesday morning and a driver came and got me at the airport and I was in surgery by 1pm (after doing a blood draw, ekg and paperwork). I left two days later. I have no regrets. The hospital was clean, the staff was great and I'm losing weight!!! My surgery was $5800. I've been to Mexico so I wasn't nervous. I bought a backpack with yoga pants and a sweatshirt for going home and a bathroom kit. The one thing I would recommend is Chapstick. My lips were dry. Good luck!

    Food Intake

    I was sleeved on 9/29 and feel the same way. I know I'm eating the right amount, but don't get that stop when you feel full like the NUT said. Still thankful for not getting queasy and haven't vomited.
  4. Thank you @@butterfly23! The only thing I have noticed in the last two days is that I'm worried I won't lose enough or am nervous I'll gain it all back! Today I started checking and double checking what I'm eating. I realize now that weighing myself daily can be stressful. Still happy I feel great. Hope your plan is going as good.
  5. I am 38 and 5'3.5". My process has been super easy and I feel bad for the posts I read with people having issues. Highest weight I saw on the scale was 239 and after surgery I was 224. I'm down to 209. Feel like I hit the famous stall and that's the only negative I can find. Mexico was super good and everyone was attentive. I don't have any regrets so far. Not sure I'm eating totally right, but feel great so not stressing over it.
  6. I was against shakes, because mine were horrible in the past. I found chocolate AMP at GNC and it is pretty good. My dad said it tasted like chocolate milk. It's the only way I feel like I'm getting enough protein.

    Dr. Corvala & Hospital Angeles

    I did meet Corvala before and after. He spoke perfect English. I had a drain and they took it out the day I left (after two days). Didn't even know, but I over did it a little the other day and it leaked. No pain, just messy. Reapplied bandage and all is good. They did tell me I had a strong pain threshold, but I think most women do ????The hospital was very clean. There are a few nurses that don't speak English (or pretend not too). They do know the word pain. They gave me Meds for a headache. They also found a polyp in my throat while putting tube down for anesthesia and took a picture for me to take back to the states to have removed. I thought that was cool that they didn't ignore it.

    Dr. Corvala & Hospital Angeles

    I just had surgery with Dr. Corvala on 9/29/15. I came home after two days, because my case manager said it was enough. I felt it was and happy to be home, but Corvala would like 3 days. I haven't had any issues. Been having chicken broth and jello. I did follow the nutritionist recommendation and spent a lot of money at GNC. The nurses and doctors were great and Paloma was super helpful. The drive with Rafael was easy. The only thing I wish they would have done was weighed me before. I did have them way me after. Also, bring chap stick, my lips were super chapped from the tube. I am glad I went this route. Good luck.
