I want to get pregnant but nervous!
Nelly 06 replied to Jlady10's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Don’t be scared, I’m currently pregnant. 1.8yr op gastric sleeve. I’m currently 5 months pregnant (almost 6) and I have gained 5 pounds in total. Baby is healthy and everything is working perfectly. I have 3-1/2 more months to go, I’m eating healthy, walking, drinking lots of water and no sugar. If you do things right everything will be fine. -

I've always wondered.....
Nelly 06 replied to SleeveToBypass2023's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I had my sleeve surgery in Mexico, with doctor Almánzar in Baja California Hospital (March 10, 2022). Best decision ever, the nurses are amazing, my surgery went perfect. When I came back to the States I went to the emergency room just to check and the doctors here were amazed, how good and perfect everything was. So don’t be scared my surgery only took 40 minutes, 3 hours after the surgery I was walking and talking like nothing happened. Also, I never had any pain or nauseous. My experience was amazing, will do it 10000000 times in Mexico. -
@CGA70 I did my surgery in Mexico, before getting discharge. They preformed a leak scan to make sure everything is good. Also, you follow up with them online. I have access to a nutritionist for a year ( they always reply to their email fast). To check my Vitamins and blood work, my doctor to that here ( in the states). Base on my experience, if the surgery goes well, there is not much to follow up. I mean the only follow up will be pay a deductible to my insurance so the surgeon can weight myself. Now if surgery don’t go as plan that’s when you will need a doctor. Of course in Mexico they are not crazy, they want more people to go there and they make sure they do everything perfect ( I’m talking about my clinic). He currently has more than 23k successful surgeries.

Don’t be scare to do your surgery in Mexico, I actually did mine in Tijuana Mexico, with Dr. Almánzar in Baja California hospital. Best decision ever, staff is well knowledgeable. Something I did noticed ( I’m talking about my experience) in Mexico they are less aggressive with the surgery, 3 hours after my surgery, I was walking and feeling like nothing happened ( they remove 75% of my stomach). 3 days after the surgery I came back to the state I went to the emergency room to make sure everything was good. The doctors here were amazed on how good and small my surgery incision were, also they did a CT because they were just curious and they stated everything was perfect. That the doctor did an amazing job. I’m just so thankful and feel so bless I decided to go to Mexico do that surgery.

I’m not a doctor but if you are 5 weeks before the surgery, just have your tortilla because after the surgery you won’t be able to eat much, also your taste buds will change.

I guess each doctor is different, I’m on my week 4 and I’m not allow to eat tortillas. Only crackers. I do eat Protein ( chicken, turkey, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) all veggies overcook so it can be easier to chew. I seen many people eating beef and pork. With my Doctor I’m not allow to eat beef and pork in 6 months after the surgery. I did bought whole grain tortillas but I’m not going to eat them. I hear the first 3 months are the months you will lose the most weight so I want to take advantage of that and make my surgery and money worth every sacrifice.

Good luck to all of you. I had my bariatric sleeve on March 10 and let me tell you all, best decision I ever made. I already lost 26 pounds. I was 215, my advise to all of you will be 3 or 4 hours after the surgery get out of the bed and walk. Walk as much as you can, so all the gases come out.
