@@Kindle I already had all of my teeth pulled out at the top and have these uncomfortable upper dentures. March of 2016 will make a year. Then I'm able to have the All on Four dental implants. I'm awaiting to here from the dentist and the doctor to see if it is possible to get both around the same time. If it is possible :) if not :( but I'll be OK :) I received my passport card in the mail today :)

Hi. I know this is an old thread but I’m new here and considering surgery also with Dr. Hidalgo. I was wondering how your overall experience was and if you recommend him. Thank you!

Medical Tourism Corporation, I did a lot of research and I chose that company and utilized Dr. Jorge Green, at the Oasis of Hope hospital in Tijuana. I had my surgery on 2/18/19, it’s been one week. My comparison to that hospital versus an American hospital is that the staff was very competent, nice and efficient. A lot of the staff spoke English and were very attentive to me. I really liked the Doctor because he was/is a straight shooter. Also I was given his private cell phone number for any follow up questions. That’s not what you get in the states! Also the facility was REALLY NICE...and clean, there was someone ALWAYS cleaning! Best bet for your research, I’m sure glad I did!

Hi Tara,

I was wondering if you did end up going with Dr. Hidalgo? I'm seriously considering him but having a hard time finding anyone to share their experience with him. 🥴🥴🙏🙏

        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!

      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
