I had MGB a week ago and all and all I feel good BUT.. when I go to sit up from laying down, stand up or even sit up straight all the way it burns about 2 inches to the left of my belly button. BAD. It feels like something is going to rip apart. I don’t have any incisions there either. Has anyone else experienced this? TIA

Hello! First time poster here and I’m thinking of taking my life back and going to Mexico for mini bypass surgery BUT they keep pushing me for the sleeve instead. I don’t have a problem with over eating but apparently my body likes to hold on to everything I give it. I don’t think the sleeve would be a good option for me I am 5’8 almost 300lbs. I hear a lot of people getting the sleeve into a bypass afterwards and I don’t want to be in that boat. I know what I believe will work best for me but I’m looking for other peoples experience with the sleeve or mini bypass. Also any recommendations to a doctor in Mexico would be helpful as well because there are so many! Thank you for reading I appreciate it!

Thank you for a reply!! That was my thought too as they were only recommending because it’s less time consuming and easier on their end with almost the same pay out. They don’t have any info on me yet so why push it. There have been several places that have said this when they don’t have any information of mine yet so, they don’t have any info on me and I have over 140 pounds to lose. I don’t want a place that just wants to recommend what they want to do vs what I want and or need. I’ve been trying to find a good surgeon in Mexico but it’s hard to know which one is and isn’t!

Did you end up going here or find a good place?
