May 8. I do feel better using a doctor in mexico though they seem more experienced. Are You Going To Dr Maytorena?

Yes, I am going to Dr. M. Mr. Ruben needs to get me my work papers or I'll have to wait longer....grrrrr

Thanks Lisa for the update!

Please keep us posted.

I just had my sleeve done with Dr M last night. I am still at the surgery center, feeling amazing! No pain except for some gas. I should be heading to the recovery house soon, then flying home to NY tomorrow night.

Ruben, Dr M, and all the staff here are very friendly, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Did you have to do a pre-op diet?

I just returned from Tijuana after being sleeved by Dr. Maytorena. I am tired as I literally just got home but I will make it a point to provide an update of how my surgery went.

i noticed that you were still or seemed undecided in the first week of March on your choice of Doctor. Where you having doubts are choose doctor M. At the last minute

I am a huge researcher and made my decision rather quickly but had been researching many surgeons during my process.  Dr. M was fabulous and I am pretty much healed up.  No pain and weight is coming off.  I have been working since a week post op with no issues whatsoever.

I was sleeved by Dr Maytorena @ Longtermvsg 2 weeks ago. I have no regrets, no issues! I recommend them highly! Great care by all on their staff

I am getting sleeved by Dr. M on May 11. Getting nervous.

I have decided to go with Dr Arellano and will be scheduling with him the beginning of May. I am excited He is a leader in bariatric surgery and has over 15yrs experience. I am excited he has done over 1000 surgeries and I think worked with Dr Aceves. Im excited an know with all his years of experience I will be ok because I was getting freaked out about possible complications. But im going through ltvsg (long term vsg). I know @@Chrissyg had the surgery with them and all seemed well but with Dr Jorge Maytorena. Any input comments or people who know of them would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Aliyah,

I applied for surgery with long term vsg last week. I've read really good things about Dr. Arellano and Dr. Maytorena. I am planning on having my sleeve at the end of June. The reviews are great and the price is just unbelievable. Share your experience and good luck!!

Hello,

I am new here, and I would like to start a topic on long term vsg in Tijuana for support. I just scheduled my surgery for June. I am nervous and excited at the same time. If you have or will have your surgery with them, please share your story! I am traveling from Phoenix Arizona! :)

Yes the reviews are great and so is the price because the facility is so mall, you won't stay at a hotel. They have very very low complication rate also no deaths so that another plus.

      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
