Just back from mexico



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

I am just back Today from being banded in mexico( Thursday) by Dr. Corvalla. I'm doing fine, healing well, and have lost 10 lbs already. My husband had Lasik surgury on his eyes while we were there and he is doing fine too. Glad to be home though, 3 countries in 5 days was a whirl wind. Not feeling any hunger, the liquids are doing the trick so far.

I ordered a weight loss surgury cookbook before i left and it was here when i got home. So this will help me through all the stages of my new eating life.

It says that i should take a multi vitaman with minerals , Calcium with vitaman D, and vitaman c supplements. I was not told this by the hospital nutrisionist.

What have you all been told about vitamans?

I met 3 nice gals there getting the band, one was from Saskatoon. She traveled alone!:eek: So brave. I'm glad i had my hubby!:tt1:

The hospital was amazing. The staff were professional and curtious. I felt i was in great hands. It all happened so quickly i can't believe i am back already.:tongue_smilie:

Any BC resident that has gone to Mexico or any long distant clinic may be interested in knowing that the TLBC from Toronto is sending a fill nurse to Victoria next month (August). I am advised fills will be provided for a fee to anyone. Just contact the clinic and make an appointment for when they are in BC next month. Hope this information will be of assistance to anyone looking for a fill.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
