I had VSG on 5/20/22, so about 9 days out. I’m in the figuring it out phase and return to work this week. But even with all that - no regrets yet. With pre and post-op, I will have lost 30 lbs in May. HW 266 (May 1), SW 248 (May 20), CW 236 (May 29).

Surgeon recommendations in Tijuana for mini gastric bypass from sleeve
CGA70 replied to Thisisgonnabegreat!'s topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Thank you so much for this info! I am getting the sleeve on May 20. I chose OCC because of the great reviews, accreditation, and the follow-up post surgery nutrition info. Are you getting the mini-bypass at OCC? What would you do differently on the nutrition side if you were now getting sleeve? Would you get sleeve or Judy go right to bypass? Thank you again - you’re the first person I’ve met that went to OCC? -
Hi gang, have to agree! So much candor just makes me grateful for the “family” here. Such thoughtful new friends! 👍🙏💙
-
Thanks Diva! Hard to believe it’s so close now!
-
Thanks for telling us what you are eating for the liquid diet. Can you also have protein shakes?
-
Woo hoo! You are almost there! Congratulations!!
-
Yes I fear that too. Best of luck on the bypass - sure you’ll do great! Please feel free to share lessons learned!! 👍
-
Whoops 260 to 140! 😉

Hi ErickaB! My sleeve surgery is May 20 but we are just about the same height and weight!! And I also want to go from 269 to 140!! ❤️

Hi redhead! You are going from sleeve to bypass? May I ask why? I’m getting a sleeve on 5/20 and really interested in why folks get various procedures. And I want to learn from others’ experiences. Good luck to you and all our May surgery buddies! 👍

Hello! I’m VSG in Mexico on May 20. At OCC. How about you? Are you nervous about Mexico?
-
I’m a bit nervous for sure. The clinic has done over 25,000 sleeves so I feel like it will be fine. I’m a VA patient so I don’t think they can refuse to see me. I did schedule a follow up here but I live in San Diego so if I did need to go back for follow up there it’s pretty easy. 😅

Thank you! I’m sorry - I’m 5 weeks before surgery and wondering if I can have low carb tortillas and bread…completely agree it’ll be a no-go after. 👍
-
Hello everyone! So I’m 5 weeks out and have been told to start doing low carb before the 2 weeks of all liquids. Can I have low carb tortillas and bread?
-
Thank you for this great advice! And congratulations on your success; so encouraging for the rest of us!
-
I feel the same way - set for 5/20. I’m ready and want to start this new, healthier life! I’m certain I’m doing the right thing and hope all of us come through the surgeries with flying colors!! ❤️
-
Excellent! Thank you for the information and encouragement. And good luck with your surgery!
-
These are things I think about when I can’t sleep. I’m getting mine in Mexico with OCC and while my family is supportive; my friends think I’ve lost my mind…😅
-
Hey there! Very excited to meet you and hear how it goes for all of us. Do you think we can lose as much weight with the sleeve as those with bypass?
-
Awesome!
