Any Sleevers for June surgery...especially Mexico



Recommended Posts

I have seen a lot of people that are having to have the revision after the sleeve due to inadequate weight loss or severe reflux. BUT there are also alot of people who have had major success with the sleeve. Its just a personal choice. The bypass is a better deterrent from going back to eating the junky, sugary and fattening foods that got us here to start with. Lol. I know thats what i need. Lol. I need something that will force me to change my habits and keep me in line.

Yipee..If you are on Facebook, you should join their support group. It is a great group of people who have either already gone through surgery and can share their experiences, or will about to go through surgery. Good luck and hopefully, we will be able to stay in touch.

I am in Los Angeles County. Encino to be specific (West Valley). I am going to be staying at a hotel in TJ (a nice one) that is a part of the package.

Yes, I will be staying in the Marriott in TJ until Monday the 19th. Then my husband and I will stay in San Diego at a little house until the 27th of June....thought I'd get some relaxation in before flying back to Texas. Do you know of any of the sites to visit in San Diego that are really worth doing?

Hi everyone. I am headed to Tijuana Mexico to have VSG done by Dr. Mario Camelo on June 27th. I am going alone, and even though I have read wonderful things, I am super nervous.

HW: 281

CW: 265

I don't start my pre-op diet until next week. Any advice is appreciated - or is anyone else having surgery this month and want to be a support buddy?

Thanks :)

Be careful thinking that this is a deterrent.. your body adapts, it just takes time with the bypass. You truly have to change your lifestyle or none of the WLS tools will work.. I have 3 family members who had the gastric bypass and 14 years (avg among the 3) later they are all back up to original weight or more and can eat anything. The human body is amazing and will in fact adapt.. my oldest sister has had 14 subsequent surgeries due to hurnia's, small bowel issues, ect.. good luck to you

      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.
