My experience in Tijuana, Mexico (VERY long post)



Recommended Posts

Just finished my 3rd Dr. visit via Skype with Dr. Zavalza everything is going according to plan and our next visit will be on the 29th 1 month post op. I am feeling fantastic and wanting to do more but keep being told by wife and doctor to take this slow so I keep on track with no set backs. I am so ready to do some hot yoga have to wait till March 1st.

New update I am under 280lbs for the first time in a while and just took a photo of my self and cannot believe the changes in my face already looking forward, this will give me what I need to push on through the hard times I am having with eating to fast. I must press on to get the prize I signed up for when I decided to make this my new life style. I hope if you come on this journey you will let others know it is not always easy but it is manageable. I pray that if you are going to make this decision you will seek out Dr. Zavalza because he has been very inspirational when we visit via Skype. Also there has been and update on Facebook a new site started by one of Dr. Zavalza's patients ( Dr Zavalza and Dr Luna Mexico support group ) come on and check it out. We have been blessed by Bariatric Pal and David Lopez for getting us with the right Doctor one that has compassion and a commitment to his patients ( friends ). Remember I started this journey on Dec.15,2014 at 322lbs pre op diet all liquids till surgery Dec.29,2014 302lbs now to where I am today.

      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!
