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.

      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.
