Has anyone gotten the ?Super Sleevectomy? (TGVP) with Dr. Jose Rodriguez?



Recommended Posts

When you have the vsg or super sleeve you can eat and drink at the same time which in return makes food go down easier. If I sit down and have a meal then my limits come into play very well but just like with any wls if you snack and give the food time to go down then you can eat more. I don't eat carbs so it helps to get more of the foods I want to eat. If you have any issues with an over eating disorder it doesn't just go away when you can't eat as much in a sitting. Make sure you deal with your issues with food and don't just hope they will go away.

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 had the Super Sleevectomy done by Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Tijuana, Mexico. The entire surgical team was wonderful and answered all my questions. The Beliteweight staff were very knowledgeable and walked me thru the process. The INT Hospital was very nice and clean. The hospital has a cafeteria on the top floor where the companion can eat or there are places close by. At the Hotel the patients can order clear broth and Jello. The hospital keeps it on hand for all of Beliteweight's patients. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
