Thinking go to Mexico for me Sleeve
Absolutely no problems with after care at all! Docs are thrilled with weight loss. The Mexico Bariatric Center sends all of your records with you. It lists everything they did and what they used. You have access to a NUT. No problems whatsoever. No recovery issues, best decision ever!

Thinking go to Mexico for me Sleeve
My sister and I were both sleeved at Mexico Bariatric with Dr Valenzuela -awesome experience and we are both convinced it's the best decision we ever made!

Anyone booked with Dr. Cabrera or Valenzuela and staying at the Marriott?
Good luck!! It's a great journey! It's been 3 months and I'm down 40lbs!! Love my sleeve! It makes you aware of things you never realized and holds you accountable!

Anyone From Buffalo, Ny Out There?
I'm in Lockport and my sister and I were both sleeved in Mexico on June 24th. Both of us are doing very well and super exited by our new lives. Since 2 week pre-op I've lost 26lbs and my sister 34lbs. Since surgery, exactly 1 month-16lbs for me and 20 for her! You will rock this! It's a learning experience but it's not that hard, it's a lot of listening to your body. I've yo-yo dieted for 40 years and never knew this existed until February when a friend had it done. Absolutely awesome experience-so worth it!

HELP! Need to choose between Dr. Aceves and Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela
My sister, myself and 2 friends have all been sleeved by Dr Vanezuela with zero complications or issues! We all totally feel that it was the best medical experience we've all had. I would highly recommend Mexico Bariatric Center with Dr Vanezuela -a great experience!!

Excited
You will do great! I was sleeved 6/24 in Mexico and it was a great experience! Embrace the journey!

Average loss with the sleeve is 60% of excess weight?!?!
My Doc said 60% is the sleeve, 20% nutrition and 20% is exercise-which makes perfect sense.

June sleevers?
You can get in 390 calories and 49 grams of protein in your morning shake, then the rest of the day isn't so hard. I make my morning shake with skim milk, 1/2 cup plain fat free greek yogurt and 1tablespoon natural peanut butter. I use chocolate protein powder so I get peanut butter choc flavor and the Greek yogurt cuts down the sweet-yummy.

I take it back-1complaint- the Popsicles at the Marriott are terrible!! But seriously, that is our only complaint! Lol, and the broth is excellent!

Anyone booked with Dr. Cabrera or Valenzuela and staying at the Marriott?
My sister and I were both just sleeved by Cabrera and Vanezuela on June 24th. It was an excellent experience and we are both very happy with how the whole experience unfolded. My sister is in hospital management and she said that the care was first rate and was very impressed with the hospital/surgeon/patient communication. We could not find one bad thing about the experience.
