Hey! I have been reading the forums for awhile and finally decided to join. I have set my date to have VSG on April 26th with Dr. Almanza in Tijuana Mexico. Just wondering if anyone else will be in Mexico the same time..

I will be hanging out here in Texas for my surgery, but I wanted to wish you all the best in Mexico. There is a ton of information on this site regarding Mexico, and its all good stuff!

I'll be praying that you have a wonderful experience and successful start of your journey to health!

Noelle -

I was sleeved by Dr. Almanza in July. As you can see from my ticker, I have lost over 100lbs so far. I would be happy to answer any questions you have or share my experience with you if you want. Just shoot me an email!

Thanks for all the support! I have kept my entire journey so far a secret from everyone, but I had to talk to my mom about getting my birth certificate and she wanted to know why I was getting a passport to my surprise she was very supporting! What a huge weight lifted off my back. Has anyone else kept VSG a secret from your friends and family?

      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.
