You can try Alberto Aceves, Ponce de leon, Dr. Joya and Liza Maria Pompa.

I am sure Almanza probably does also.

I have BMI of 30. I'm going to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. A friend of mine with a BMI of 28 went to Dr. Almanza-Reyes in TJ.

Anyone know a doctor that will do the gastric sleeve on someone with a bmi of 30 ?

I don't think that any Dr in US will do that surgery with BMI less than 40 except those Patient with BMI 35-39 with majors health problem, I'm in that case my BMI is 34.5 and I looking the posibility to do it in other place with that BMI and some health problems like Hypertension, gastric acid reflux, arthritis, and high risk of diabetes I'm in the need of a final result to my weight, as all of us I has been dieting all my life with the result of gaining back and more the weight lossed in the diet, do more research and ask don't stop and continue looking for your goal.

Good luck

I have a "low" BMI as well. I will be operated in Arhens in 9 days.

My surgeon told me, that

http://www.ifso.com/

does not have the same retrictions on a VSG as a bypass operation.

There fore many surgeons outside USA will operate at a BMI of 30 - Sweden and Greece in Europe, and a lot of other places.

Cross m fingers for you.

      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.
