I had surgery with DR. Ismael Caberra on August 24, 2013 he is a wonderful doctor you will not be disappointed ;). Also was at Mi Doctor Hospital very clean, staff very helpful and there for you within seconds, again will not be disappointed with MI doctor hospital either ;). I went through medical Tourisim WONDERFUL COMPANY everything explained well and regene was my contact there she's very helpful answering any questions you have very quickly via email. Also ask for Necie the cordinator in TJUANA she's fabulous ;). Overall I've lost 40 pounds with pre-op till now. Wish I had done it ALONG TIME AGO ;) Any questions feel free to message me on here.

At MiDoctor they gave me Water and cold greentea after I passed my leak test. I was sleeved by Cabrera/valenzuela and was told to be on Clear Liquids for the first full week and not even worry about Protein until the second week when I started drinking Protein Shakes.< /p>

They have apple juice, Gatorade and green tea. I really did not feel like eating till I got released from hospital wasn't hungry. When I got to hotel I had broth and juice. We stayed at Pablo Amigo it was GREAT on service and ammenties ;). They even went when I got back from hospital and picked up my medication ;). You will be on clear liquid first week or two. I know they told me no Protein for first week but after returning home approx six days after surgery I got really sick (chills, vomit and dehydrated) but was drinking every five min or less. I did protein then and next day felt a lot better just in case that happens? I was scared of leak but think was just very weak and dehydrated :(. I think it takes at least two weeks or longer to get to feeling better but hang in there CAUSE ITS DEFINATELY WORTH IT!! ;)

      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.
