The only reason I chose Dr. Fang was because a co-worker recommended him. The staff hasn't given me too many problems yet.

I am in the West Valley as well. Goodyear.

I had the VGS on June 19, 2012 with Dr. Ortiz, in Tijuana, Mex., at the Obesity Control Center. I cannot say enough good things

about my experience. My insurance would not cover and was self pay. Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Martinez, they were wonderful. Great bedside manner...spent alot of time talking with me before and after the surgery.

I just recently found this site. Maybe you all could give me tips on how to put my picture on here and put the little weight scale on here too. : )

I am not the best on the computer.

Thanks and looking forward to chatting.

I'm in the Litchfield park area. Congratulations on your surgery. I don't have any insurance (I'm a student and have a work study job), so Mexico just seemed a logical choice. How was your recovery? I leave tomorrow night and I'm on the verge of throwing up from nerves and excitement.

HI all.

I'm doing pretty good. No real issues to speak of. TOday I have a slight headache, but I think it;s sinuses. Surgery went very well. No pain from incisions. ALl pain from gass and air bubbles from drinking too much/too fast. Walked a lot, helps, but sipping is harder than it sounds. I was released before11 am Wednesday and saw DR P everyday. I had great care and have regrets.

Good luck to all of you on your upcoming surgeries!

I cannot speak for everyone....but I am so thankful that I was able to do this. It is not always easy but so worth it! I would do it all over again and I still have 40+ pounds to lose.

I was very nervous and scared too.

Best advice: Follow every little thing your doctor says...pre-surgery and post-surgery!

Hello Everyone! I live in West Phoenix, and was sleeved on October 17th b Dr. Kevin Potter at St. Josephs Hospital. Everything went very well, and I have lost 18 lbs since I weighed myself the morning of surgery. He was amazing and made me feel very comfortable from day one.

      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.
