Nurses As Bariatric Patients
SoniaRenota replied to LynRN's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I agree most of the bariatric patients that I have met have been RNs. So sad.....we need to do better about caring for ourselves. I am a Labor and Delivery Nurse and hate being heavier than my pregnant patients. No more.....I'm now 65# less than before! Size 14 to Size 2! Glad I did it! -

Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the OCC
SoniaRenota replied to Kindle's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Basically you have to get them while you are there because they destroy them due to lack of space. They figure they won't see you again so they toss them. They do such a large volume that it would take up too much space. -

Off Topic...but In Desperate Need For Advice
SoniaRenota replied to AshleyBrookeRN's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sick with so much nausea for three months finally took Meclizine and it went away. I think I had vertigo after spending 1 month in the hospital with every test run in the world. Finally just stopped after the Meclizine. Motion sickness over the counter. -

Band to sleeve success question....
SoniaRenota replied to luvzpitbullz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I actually lost with the band then after 6 years started gaining due to issues with not finding a full doctor near my house or in my city. I was revised to the sleeve this May and have lost 65 lbs already! So happy it was a huge success! -
I actually had the band to sleeve revision in May at the same time as my surgery with Dr Almanza in Tijuana. Went great! He is very skilled and has a very good reputation.

How Did You Choose A Mexican Surgeon How Did You Check Them Out ?
SoniaRenota replied to nolagirl's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I used Dr Almanza in Tijuana he did a great job with my surgery but I didn't like my scars after. I'm a RN and have seen better scar finishes. No regrets from the surgery though. He has a great reputation and very organized process. Went very well.
