Hi, I am still in Tijuana, Day 5 post OP, and feel great. No pain. I was with Dr. Ponce on Nov.1. Two days in hospital, 1 day at Hotel Lucerna. Taking an extra day, just enjoying the luxury Hotel Lucerna and sightseeing.

Arranged thru Trish: www.wls4betterlife.com

Trish cell#: 661-886-4617

Dr. Ponce taught a lot of the other doctors here...I trust Dr. Ponce & Trish completely! They are so caring, transparent, & go the.extra mile for u.

I'm surprised how many surgeries a day some of the drs listed on here are scheduled for? (maybe same.names only, but different drs?)

Will write more detailed review when have access to computer..still enjoying my vacation ;-)

I am having plastics with Dr. Bello on November 12th. He works with Dr. Aceves (He performed my sleeve 1/5/11). Will be heading into Mexicali on November 11th! Flying into San Diego with my sister on Friday for a couple days of fun before surgery!

What kind of plastics are you getting? And how much do they charge? I still haven't even had my surgery yet, but I'd like to start planning ahead :)

I had Lopez on the 3rd, there were 3 of us. I am doing really well. We were at Mi hospital. I am at the hotel now, the first day out was rough for me, I vomited a few times because I wasn't walking enough, but once I got over taht I was fine. I did the blue dye and the barium swallow test, no leaks. I am back at the hotel now trying to push the liquids. I went down for chicken broth, and I had it the night befor the surgery, it tasted devine, tonight it tasted like salt water! My mother is here with me and told me it was just me, it was the same broth, very strange! I feel good otherwise!

I had Dr. Lopez on the 3rd, it was a great experiience, I am healing wonderfully. Just got home last night. I just keep having to remind myself to drink drink drink so I don't get dehydrated. I have noticed hot and warm liquids go down and feel much better than cold liquids, and I have already noticed my tastes have changed. It is strange, but good! I also have zero hunger, and no desire to eat, which I honestly did not believe would happen. I could not say greater things about Dr. Lopez, A Lighter Me, Mi hospital, Abraham, or Eduardo. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
