Mexico drs = NO diet pre op?



Recommended Posts

Did he say a MINIMUM of 2 adult drinks (as in he wanted you to get drunk?) or a maximum? Hah <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Oops. Maximum of two drinks.< /p>

Down to 2 surgeons dr Ortiz at OCC or dr Pompa at limarp...help!!!

There is a lady here who had surgery the day after me. She was getting her sleeve re-sleeved. The 1st sleeve was a botched sleeve. She went with Dr. Pompa the first time and Dr. Aceves was fixing it. She told me once she starting call Dr. Pompa's group with her issues they stopped responding.

Thanks for the informative answer! I knew the diet was for shrinking but here in nz he wanted a 3 week Optifast one?!

That's what they do here in Canada (or Quebec, not sure if it's just our province). Supposedly it's quite disgusting, I'm glad I didn't have to do that :)

Re: Clear liquids as opposed to, let's say hot chocolate, which is a "full" liquid.

Clear Liquids pretty much pass right through your stomach. Full liquids require digestion and stuff sits in your stomach longer. They are just trying to give your gut a rest before surgery.

BTW, we eat more buffalo/bison than beef and it's yummy!

Oh my word!!! I couldnt imaging paying for this TWICE and having surgery TWICE! Poor thing. This makes me sad for her. How horrible. I hope she shares her story.

I have also read on obesity help of a few people that went to Dr. Pompa and didn't end up with a sleeve, but a strange looking thing. I wouldn't take my chances. Also, when I contacted them to get a price quote on the sleeve, they quoted me $1,000 more than what they quoted my friend, who had called only one day before. In my opinion, not good business. I did write to them and told them how I felt about that and they offered me the same price as my friend. They said it was because they were running a special, and it ended the day before or something.

      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.
