Congrats! on the weight loss!!! You got the VSG right? How are you feeling? What are you eating? Are you tollerating foods ok? I'm scheduled for VSP(plication) next Monday, and I'm still going back and forth with Sleeve Gastrectomy or Sleeve Plication??? i'm just not sure what I need or will give me the best results and still be safe?? As you can tell, I'm nervous!!! And I'm going by myself to TJ.

Super Sleeve (Gastric Plication)
lguidry replied to CavyGuy's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
When you say Super Sleeve, are you still talking VSG? Because I've heard Super Sleeve used to describe a smaller pouch (A versus with the VSG procedure and with the Plication procedure. "Marketing" you got to love it but it can be confusing:) -

Mellifritts, With regard to eating and drinking at the same time, I heard that was not allowed with any wls?? Obviously that is not true, wonder if that is the case with the Vertical Sleeve Plication?? With regard to having issues with over eating, any recommendations with how to "deal with" that? I am open to anything that will set me up for being successful!! -

I have heard good things about Dr. Rod and was considering using him however I was concerned about going to Juarez because of the violence (killings--refer to US travel advisory). He also goes to INT in TJ, MX on certain days(but I wasn't sure about the facility/accomdatations?), that could be a choice?? I did speak with both Teri and Joyce with Beliteweight and both were very informative and nice. Good luck!! Keep posting:) -

lguidry replied to jg62's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
So sorry to hear that, I'm taking notes, I'm scheduled for my GSP a week from tomorrow. Any recommendations....anyone? -
I'm scheduled for surgery 10/4/10 too:) I hope I'm doing everything right?? My pre-op diet is 2 protien shakes, 4lbs green veggies steamed or salad with wishbone spritzer spray for dressing, 3 oz of fish or chicken baked or grilled and for a snack I'm allowed sugarfree popcicles and jello. Who is doing your surgery? What procedure are you doing? I'm doing GSP.

Thanks for the follow up:) Congrats on your WL!! -
Congrats on the WL!!! Thanks so much for the post. I'm definitely leaning to the plication especially now knowing that you were able to have such good results with a BMI of 36. My BMI is 39.5 so I should be able to have results simular to yours;) YEAH!!!

I'm trying to make a decision on procedure and doctor. I'm considering VSG and VSP(plication). Not sure which one??? Also, I've been told that Juarez and Monteray are the "hot" spots with violence right now?? What have you heard? -

Having a real hard time deciding between the two procedures. I really want to make the right choice and I'm not sure what that is? My BMI is 39.5. I'm very interested in knowing what and how others are doing with the plication procedure?? Is the weight loss as significant as with VSG??:thumbup: Need help please! Also, I'm considering Dr. Corvala (Hospital Angeles, TJ, Dr. Ortiz(Obesity Control Center, TJ) and Dr.Jose Rodriguez, INT in TJ MX and Star Medica in Juarez) and possibly Dr. Aceves. Who's the best at which procedure??
