I went October 24' date='2012, and I used dr Jose Castaneda Cruz. He does his surgery in puerto Vallarta, premier hospital. I highly recommend him and his team they were fantastic. The hospital we had surgery in was amazing top notch, it would put some of the alberta hospitals to shame. The hospital staff amazing as well, you are well taken care of, this hospital is only open to tourists. Are you going through a facilitator or through medical tourism?[/quote']

I also went to Dr. Castaneda Cruz in PV. He was incredible. I HIGHLY recommend him. Everything was amazing!

It's great to hear how well you are doing! I started my journey at 383, had my surgery August 15 and I am down 90lbs. I can't wait to see what 2013 will bring!

I finally made it to the 2's too! What a great feeling!

I hope everyone is doing great! I am feeling awesome! I am down 85lbs in total and 55 since my surgery on August 15. I haven't had any issues other than learning to stop eating when I am satisfied. I have pushed it a few times and paid dearly for that every time. How is everyone else doing?

I am waiting for this milestone. Only 8lbs to go!

OMG thank you for posting this. I think I ate too fast this morning and the same thing happened to me. It was disgusting. I only ate half an egg so I don't think it was too much but I bet it was too fast. I'm only 3 week post op and still learning how to slow down.

2 weeks post op today...Im down to 171 today. Pre surg weight 183.3. But heaviest weight 270' date=' One pound from losing 100 lbs. I hope everyone is enjoying the journey as much as I.[/quote']

That's awesome! I am two weeks post op tomorrow. I have lost 21 since surgery and 51 in total. I am so excited about my new life!

Hi everyone' date=' I live in Lethbridge and am just beginning this journey. I will be going to Mexico, on a self-pay program through WLF (weight loss forever) and am pretty excited about it. This is early stages for me, no surgery date booked yet. Great to see others having such success - its helps me to know that this is the right decision. Thanks for all the positive posts, I'll keep checking in.[/quote']

Congratulations! I had my surgery 11 days ago in MX and I don't regret a thing. The first few days were tough but it got better. I am so happy that I am changing my life.

Good morning' date=' my surgery is scheduled next week on the 25 th. I'm out of the red deer clinic. I started the program in January and have lost 35 lbs so far.[/quote']

Wow you must be so excited! Keep us updated on your progress!

Hey Lisa,

Just wondering if your PCP is supporting you in your journey to MX. Mine has decided to no longer support me. She was all for it until I got the date and now she is setting up road blocks. I am thinking of getting a new doctor. How has your experience been?

Hi' date='

Welcome to our little group...I am having sleeve on the 14 of Aug....we can be sleevers together you have that long of a pre op diet?? I thought 3 weeks was the longest. I wish you luck and there is many others who have gone to MX as well...you will be in good hands from all that I have read[/quote']

Thanks for the welcome! I have chosen to do the pre op diet early. Mostly so that I am not tempted to eat EVERYTHING for the "last time". I am bad for doing that before I start diets. This time will be different, so I am behaving different. It's a personal choice not something my doctor asked me to do.

Hello Ladies!

I am from Edmonton and am scheduled for my VSG for Aug 15. I am excited and nervous! I am looking to lose ~150lbs. I have started my pre op diet and packing for MX already!
