Many people have heard about Long Term VSG and their $2999 price and many people were skeptical because it was so low. I just had a follow up with Ruben and the price is going up. So if anyone is interested in grabbing this cheap price, you best do so now because it'll be going up to $3600 real soon.

Hi, well I was sleeved in Tijuana, Mexico in late August, 2015 by Dr. Maytorena. I was picked up from my San Diego Hotel and was able to meet everyone being sleeved that day. There was 3 of us and I think it was great as we each had something to offer the other in way on info, support, etc. 2 of us traveled on our own and the third person had a relative that had the surgery less than 10 months prior and was down 200 pounds! All of our surgery's went fine. We went to a recovery house that was nice and we each had our own room with personal A/C control by remote. I just wanted to write this quick note as I think it is helpful to others. I don't plan to update as I'm not a computer person. I'm six weeks out and down about 32 pounds. my BMI was 40 at time of surgery and I'm very happy with results. I have taken it easy and followed the diet that most sleeve doctors recommend. I have also attended two bariatric group meetings that I found hosted by hosptials in my town. My surgery took place at a surgery center. I was the first to have my surgery that day and liked that as I'm in the medical field. All in all just wanted to put this info out there for anyone looking at Dr. Maytorena. I didn't want to put anything online till I spoke with the other 2 people and things are going will for them. Wishing everyone a great success with what ever than plan in life. Dr. Maytorena's August 2015 patient.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
