Hi ryannryann! How do you like the coordinators at alighterme? I booked through Mexicobariatriccenter and my main coordinator has been quite disappointing.

Hi Ckcslvur!

Congratulations! I hear dr. Ponce de leon is a very experienced surgeon! It's normal to feel apprehensive, I feel the same way, but if you've researched Dr. Ponce you'll know your in good hands! Are you taking a support person with you?

So far so good. As soon as I signed up I got an immediate phone call and email with all the needed information in detail.

I am not taking anyone with me. I am a single mom so need my mother to stay home with my daughter and I don't want to ask anyone to pay airfare and such. ...so going alone.

Totally understand. Even though you don't have a support person to come with you a good percentage of people who have gone through the same experience have left really great reviews of how helpful people were. I'll be pretty much alone as well since my husband will be staying with our children, but I think about how I'll be in good hands and how this is going to be better in the long run! Think happy thought! God bless!

Great! Would you please let me know how everything went? I've read good things about Dr. Cabrera but to actually talk to someone who just went through it would be nice! Good luck & God bless!

Yup! But are you also part of Mexico Bariatric support group on Facebook? There are tons of people on there who've already had the surgery and had Dr. Cabrera.

My sleeve surgery is March 24 with Dr. Rodriquez in Tijuana. This will be my second surgery with Dr. R and coordinators from "Beliteweight". I trust Dr. R and have had no issues with them. Excited and nervous! The sleeve is a big deal.

Hey April peeps....I got this idea from one of the vlogs I follow, but I'm wondering if you would be interested in doing an April Facebook support group. Since we're doing our surgery around the same time, we'll be experiencing similar things and we can check in with each other about the different stages. What do you think?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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!
