I'm scheduled for the Gastric Sleeve on January 9th with Dr. Alejandro Gutierrez from Mexico Bariatric at Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico. I'm kinda nervous and excited at the same time. My husband and I fly in the 8th and fly out the 12th.

Hello. My surgery was a successful one, but yesterday was a miserable one, I was in so much gas pains, I was literally crying , thinking I was going to die. I really thought it was the end of the world. Today I woke up feeling a lot better, thank you jesus and to my hubby for buying me GAS-X there are so good.

Anyone else going through pain?

I am wanting to get the Gastric sleeve done but have a few questions. My sister said if your insurance plan won’t cover it than to ask them if you pay the extra amount to have it haded they will do it. So my question is will they do it if I do what she said. Also I live in Missouri and was wondering were is a good place to go to get it done?

      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.
