My surgery was on 7/2 in Tijuana. My surgery went great and I feel good. I just have to keep reminding myself to drink liquids throughout the day. Good luck to all of you!

so exciting, I'm a Tijuana post op sleever. I had my surgery Sept. 26th 2014. I started at 217 pounds and weight in at 135 pounds. I have lost 82 pounds total in 10 months, and could not be happier. You will love your results, the journey is stuff not gonna lie, but it is so worth it.

Good Luck and CONGRATS!!!!!!!

My date is September 5th, with dr. Altamirano in TJ. we've got our tickets purchased and I'm ready to go! Only one week preop diet for me, thank goodness, but I can't do the diet that was sent to me because it has grapefruit juice, and that gives me a stomachache! What to do?

I was sleeved in Tujuana using Dr Jesus Martin Lopez and made arrangements through BariatricPal. They did everything for me. They had someone with us all of the time to take is where we needed to go and to translate. Picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. Great experience

I had mine with Dr.Ariel Ortiz yesterday (I'm still in Tijuana). The facilities are top notch and everything is taken care. In my research it was more important that I couldn't find any deaths or complaints...

      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.
