Wanting Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am thinking about having Gastric Plication (Supper Sleeve) with Dr.Jose Rodiriguez in Mexico. I am a little scard because I really don't know much about the Dr other then what is on his webpage and about going out of the U.S. Has anyone had this done with Dr Rodiriguez In Mexico?

I had my surgery with Dr. Corvala in TJ. Check him out. Great Doc and hospital. He's done the most plications. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. I had my plication on July 16th.

Oh hey Sleeve or bust, you are going through DrPompa... I went through weight loss forever in saskatchewan, I think you can go whereever you want to book it (unfortunately no support groups yet in Calgary, but hopefully soon!!)... I had to book 2 months in advance as I have to give work one months notice, and with summer being here the other month was taken up, way too much to do lol 25 days now though!! Definitly looking forward to getting it done, lets stay in touch, any tentative dates?? Mine is Sept 17th :svengo:

I have a friend of my family's who used weight loss forever and went to Dr Pompa and that is how I found out about her and all of this.. such an enlightening experience thus far!!... If you dont mind me comparing.... her price was 9000$ incl flights and the whole package.. is that what you are also paying? this was the price given to her from the centre.

So her experience I take it with Dr.Pompa was wonderful!!!

How long ago was the surgery? How much is she down so far?? Im always excited to hear the results!!

As for payment ...it is 8900$USD for the basic package and Im paying $10900 for someone from WLF to go with me as a companion. My boyfriend isnt too impressed hes not going, lol but I need someone whos been there done that and can help support me through all of it. I just feel better that way, even though I love him dearly. :svengo:

I had the "regular" sleeve, 7/1/10, by Dr. Rodriguez. The surgery, his staff, the hospital, etc. exceeded my expectations. I went by myself and didn't have any problems.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
