Beginning My Journey To Mexico



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled to have my VSG on February 2 with Dr. Lopez in Tijuana. I've read success stories on the research I've done n I was just wondering if there were anyone on here who has done it.

I'm pretty excited and can't wait for this long life change!!

I did mine in Tijuana, too, with a different doctor and was VERY pleased. The hospital was very clean, the people super nice, and the city is lovely. I know it has some bad parts, but I didn't see those. The beach is just lovely. I hope you have a very successful surgery and a wonderful trip. If you're like most of the Mexico cases, it won't be long before you are feeling fantastic! If you go out to eat after surgery, Cafe Mole (?name) restaurant (located near the circle and Lucerna hotel) has WONDERFUL chicken broth! Good luck. It'll be here before you know it.

I had surgery with a different dr but in Tijuana and May and had a great experience. I second that Cafe Mole broth. A couple sips of that and a couple sips of pineapple juice and your new sleeve will be very happy!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
