More coming!

Hi Rose,
I had the sleeve done in Tijuana on Feb 21, 2013. And I actually was there this year on my anniversary with a friend that had the surgery as well. Trust me, you are in very capable hands! I had all of the same nervousness that you are having. Joanne is absolutely wonderful. As well as BeBe and all that work for Beliteweight. Dr. Rod and Dr. Elmo are so personable. They treat you like you are a good friend. The hospital was clean and very professional. The nurses are required to wear dresses with stockings-the whole shoobang. I have not had not one minutes trouble with my surgery. I was in little to no pain afterwards. Maybe a little like muscle pain. They are great with the pain meds. The best advice that I can give to anyone is WALK..WALK..WALK. It works the gas out and keeps down the soreness. The leak test is sort and you only have to drink a tiny bit of liquid.Take lots of before pictures, because if you are like me-I did not really know how big I was....denial I guess. But once you start losing-you will need a reference. Don't sweat the scale-you will be losing inches. You will feel so much better ! This was one of the best decisions of my life. It is truly life changing. You will not regret it. If you have anymore questions, please feel free to contact me. I would love to hear from you and your progress !
 
Thanks,
Robin
From Georgia

You're welcome Lilly,

This is the purpose of this thread. From what I have heard so far from all the calls I received and the email responses, you are in Capable and experienced hands. Good luck on Friday ! Please keep us posted :).

I am planning to post on here every step of the way. My surgery is in July of this year just because I had planned cruises and other things for the summer. I cannot wait for my turn!

Go to beliteweight.com  Call the number and a wonderful facilitator will answer all of your questions.  I hate talking on the phone but this was easy.  My facilitator, Ishi, answered all of my questions without dragging out a huge conversation.  She was very helpful and has returned every email with an email or a phone call.

How did you find be lite weight? How much were your surgeries?

When I did the Google search for VSG in Mexico, their name came up. When I started doing my research I sent out info to different websites and surgeons then I started narrowing them down.

There price range is in the middle upper range....between 6 to 7k.

But if you need a quote just contact them and the coordinator will send you a quote based on type of surgery, BMI etc..

The website is beliteweight.com

Thank you! I like the fact you are in the hospital for three days and then go home no hotel or anything. Did you have a drain with your sleeve surgery

My coordinator Jessica is absolutely wonderful. She always replies promptly to email and return phone calls quickly. She ask me to take all the time that I needed to do my research. She never pressured me.

I forgot to mention that they have a wonderful computerized system. So far I have done everything online and it's fairly easy.

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

        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.

      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
