  1. Hello everyone. I just wanted to keep you updated. My lung collapsed during my gastric sleeve operation. Dr. Corvala had to go back in and fix my lung because of a mistake he made. I am now 3 days post op. I still feel terrible. It hurts when I breathe deep, laugh, and cough. I can barely keep anything down. I throw up meds and liquids. I just wish for a fast recovery from this terrible experience. I would not recommend anyone to go to Hospital Angeles.

      How long do you have to stay in MX? Are you going to be able to fly home?

  2. It could be acid reflux. I have experienced this as well. Try to take a Zantac 30 minutes to an hour before drink the premier protein. If it works, continue taking Zantac once of twice a day.
  3. You look FAB!!! I can see you are more happy with yourself. My goal is 150 pounds as well. How tall are you?

      Good luck, I am sure you are going to kill it! Just take it day by day and try not to think about the rest of the journey too much! I know that if I would have focused on the whole journey at the start I would not have been able to make it! I had to focus day by day, I've done high protein and low carb before but I could still eat meat and green veggies so it wasn't as hard as this. But I say that to say that trust me if this big boy can make it so can you!!! I am sure that you are strong and will absolutely kill it!! Let us know how you do!!

    Hello all! What vitamins should we take after vsg surgery? My doctor has not given the list to me yet. My surgery is next month, but I want to start shopping for everything early.

    So bummed...

    Great that your test came back normal. What hospital are you having your surgery?
  14. I'm scheduled to have vsg surgery September 18th with Dr. Corvala at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana, Mexico. The case manager, Kim Curren, sent me a questionnaire to see if I qualified for surgery. It ask a lot of health questions and past surgeries. They want to know these things before scheduling you for surgery. Lab work will be done once I get to Mexico. I am required to follow two week liquid diet before surgery, so my liver can shrink in size. This is to ensure the surgery goes well and the liver isn't in the way when they cut out 80% of the stomach.

  16. Hello everyone! I'm new here and want to know your experiences with Dr. Corvala at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana. I'm scheduled to have gastric sleeve surgery on September 18th. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I would love to hear your story and some advice you may have for a newbie like me. Thank you in advance.

    Hospital Angeles in Tijuana, Mexico

    I chose him because he have years of experience in bariatric surgeries and perform the operations at a full hospital in Mexico.
  18. What was your experience like with the hospital?
