No sorry I am not familiar with any doc in Mexico at all but if you look around her on the site or even post a new thread asking that same question I am sure you will get responces from people who have gone there to get theirs done.

I agree with ouroborous but if you are still concerened with the fat are you easting full fat or 2% cheese sticks? are you eating just the egg white or are you eating the yolk also? as for the beans you may just have to change brands but I do believe that they do have a fat free refried bean out there. Well good luck and try not to be so hard on your self

The VSG was oringinaly the first step of a DS for people who were to unhealthy to stay on operating table for a long period of time, since the VSG is a shorter operation and has a lower complication rate. So they would do the VSG let the patient loose some weight then go back in and do the DS, but they found that people who never went back to get the DS were lossing and maintaing just as well as the people thet went all the way to the DS. So unless you find that you are not able to reach goal or maintain with the VSG and you and your doc feel that malsorption would help you maintain then you could go to the next step and get the DS. Well I hope that I have answered your question please feel free to post a new thread or send me a PM if you have any more. Good luck with your research it really is one of the best things you can do to prepare your self for your new life!!:thumbup:

Awsome job!!! Yeah I can see how it would be a weird sensation to ware cloths that touch the body, I am not sure how I am going to handle that!

DS is "duodenal switch" it is a malsorortion/ restriction procedure simmilar to the bypas

Yea for you!!!! scales are evil, evil monsters with a huge gravitational pull, good job staying off of them for a whole month and congrats on the loss!!!

Wooo Hooo Awsome Job keep up the great work!!!

Oh wow so totaly not looking forward to that, I might just have to empty the fridge and lock my self in the house that week!

excelent news that you are doing well!! Enjoy your bed.

The headachmay be because you are dehydrating your self or could be more like a carb or caffeen withdrawel. As for the diarraha its like they say Liquid in Liquid out it should get better when you hit puree mushy stage but because of that much more important to be sipping water all day long I know easier said then done

Congrats on getting in with a date...Good luck with the rest of the liquid and your surgery!!!

hello Just an update to an eairler post that I did.... So I went to the Dr.and since I had lost the 11 pounds which put me under the required 40 BMI ( This will be the weight that the dr sends to the insurance company) I put ankle weights on both legs put my house and work keys, phone, and box cutter in my pockets ate breakfast and drank a liter of water before I steped on the scale And I made it YEAH ... I was a 40.1 BMI LOL I never thought I would be trying so hard to make the scale go up :confused1:

Oh and the greek yogurt and ranch mix also makes a good dip for raw veggies when you get to that stage

Another way that I have found instead if useing mayo use greek yogurt and mix in some of the powdered ranch mix with some store bought buffalo sauce and I guess the blue cheese crumbles if you like that

Awsome job to both of you!! it must be great to be abel to just walk by all that fair food and not need to have it all... Keep up the great work and I am sure your Doc will be so proud of you!

Jane you crack me up!!!:lol0::laugh0: But yeah I think we may need to see those pic just strictly to give an objective appraisal !!!:thumbup: Allthough I can totaly picture him self in front of the mirror admiring his great work .. as he should he has worked hard for it.

How exicting I am so happy for you!!!

Yes you can eat fruit it just depends when some drs make you wait longer then others:thumbup1:
