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.

      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.
