If it helps I am 7 weeks out and I tried a little of everything now I am so miserable I can't sit down. Not that satisfied full wonderful feeling. This is painful! I would rather had not been able to eat.

Dr Verboonen was my Doctor. He was wonderful! No regrets. I can send him a message on FB or text and he will respond every time.You can't find a dr in the States that will do that.

I would love to be back in my size 6 Levi's. I have saved them for 8 years lol

I am 2 months out and I use romain lettuce for tuna salad

I went to Dr Verboonen in Tijuana and never felt uneasy. His team took very good care of me. When is your surgery?

I went to Dr Verboonen in Tijuana I had the Mini Gastric Bypass and my total cost was $6500.00. I know if you want the sleeve its only $4200. Dr Verboonen has his own clinic in Tijuana and Cancun. I was in Mexico a total of 4 days 2 nights at the clinic one night at a beautiful hotel,Then flew home. The price included everything( transfers, labs, clinic stay,hotel)except flights.

So sorry I will say a prayer for comfort and healing.

I've read that only 30% of people who have bypass will experience dumping.I love sugar but not willing to find out if I'm a part of that 30%.

I weaned myself off caffeine one week before surgery. I tried to go cold Turkey but the headache was too much. I cut my consumption in half on the first day the in half again each following day. No headache then.

Yea not sure who come up with the whole line about not being hungry, but I was like you. How far out are you? If you can eat and your hungry then eat just make sure you do a little bit at a time.

I just made a sugar free cake which sugar free frosting do you think that will bother me? I read somewhere that about 30 percent of the people who have WLS have a problem with dumping.

My trip home was fine, the hardest part of this process has been having no one close to turn to when I have questions. I have been very fortunate that I have not had any complications.

The difference you feel between pureed and solid is huge. I was a little worried on pureed stage as well. I agree measure your meals and tracking them are very important. Good luck and keep us posted.

Centrum Senior Chewable here as well.

Mine is Process!

Wahoo! That's wonderful

I used Dr Verboonen. He was great as was his staff. No regrets!

I'm new to all of this but I pray you find your way back to healthy.

I also went to Tijuana for my surgery but my surgeon was Dr Sergio Verboonen. I also flew into San Diego I spent 2 nights in surgery center and one night in hotel. Best thing I have done

I love this. Thank you for posting

Ladies! This process is going to take time, we did not get overweight in 6 or 8 weeks why would we expect to be thin in that amount of time? I am 8 weeks out and have lost 24 lbs. I am not worried about how fast it comes off as long as it does. I have read that the slower it comes off the less saggy skin I will have.

Thank you for this info!

Yeah! Real live people that are more then a week out! Thank you all so much for speaking up. I just have nothing to compare what I am going through with. Yes sometimes the MGB does get reversed due to too much weight being lost. I for one will not have it reversed. Lol

I had the same thing happen at work a couple days ago.I went to the ER because I hurt so bad. Dr thought I had stretched the incision sight. Feeling fine now.
