I had it dec. 13th. Todo bien! Went perfectly, Hospital Vivian Pellas was tops, Dr. Turcio was very good and had two sugeons assist as well as the top anesthiologist in the country. He and his surgeons even made 3 follow up visits at the house!

The surgery was easy and recovery is pain free. Was walking 2 miles week after.

I would recommend this as an affordable option. Surgeon charged $3,500 for him and other two docs, hospital was $4,500 with anesthesiologist. Follow up visits included.

We stayed in Las Colinas neghborhood across from hospital. Very convenient.

Ms. Pellas was there on our floor in her own suite.

Hola. Yo soy todo bien y cinco dias desde cirugia. Me gusta Nicaragua!

Todo cosas mejor con tiempo y un poco trabajo.

You can tell I'm a gringo by my Spanish, can't you? ;>)

Really, it went very well and I am please with such a good medical team I had. I stayed in Las Colinas neighborhood, right across from the hospital. It's one of the nicest neighborhoods in Managua. Walked a mile or two a day and felt pretty good. Christmas was FELIZ!

Saludos, mi amigos.

Mitch

I am 52, so just goes to prove anyone can get good results with this surgery, although I was on the low side on BMI. I got some exercise a year or so pre-surgery which helped, but it doesn't have to be more than walking or walk-running.

Hey, Stacy. I had lunch with our IT person this past Monday who is also a gastric bypass graduate. She is doing great, and has lost 80 lbs in about 6 or 8 months in 2014. I hope yours goes well, too.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
