I received an email with this article today. It discusses three long term studies of the MGB in France.

How are you feeling?
I'm sorry, I just realized I never thanked you for answering all my questions. THANK YOU! I appreciate all the good information.
Yes, I'm going through BLW as well. I met another lady who's going to be there having surgery with Dr. Rodriguez the same day I am, so I'm excited about that.

Thank you for posting about your experience. I'm thrilled for you that everything went so well!
My surgery date with Dr. Rodriguez and Dr. Elmo in Tijuana is scheduled for March 20th, and I can't wait.
How many other patients did they have getting surgery while you were there?
What time did you get to the airport after being released from the hospital? I'm trying to decide which return flight would be best for me to come home on.
Are you having difficulty with any particular foods?
Congratulations!!! I can't wait to follow your continued successes.

Great question! I'm having Mini Gastric Bypass in Mexico in March. I would be very interested in talking with others who have had the procedure or who are planning to have it.

Congratulations, that's terrific!
Thank you for sharing your progress. I'm schedule for an MGB in March, starting to get a little nervous, and stories like yours remind me why I'm doing this.

Do you have a Belks? Their regular prices are ok but clearance prices can't be beat. And they have really cute clothes.

I'm so glad you had a good experience with Dr. Rod. He does sound really nice. His whole team does, actually.
How are your swelling and complications coming along? Are they almost resolved? Did you have to stay in Mexico longer than planned? Or did you have to go to the hospital when you got home? Were your complications mostly from the swelling? I'll be going by myself and I'm a little nervous still about everything.

I'm not sure when he did his training on single incision surgery. I thought about having mine done as a single incision, but I already have the scars from my gall bladder removal so I figured why bother.
My surgery date is still a little ways out, but I'm keeping myself entertained by trying samples of different Protein powders and drinks, researching Vitamins and other supplements, and making lists and checking them twice. Time has never moved so slowly!

I've narrowed my search down to Hospital Angeles and either Dr. Rodriguez or Dr. Corvala, as well.
I spoke to a doctor on Dr. Corvala's team last week and she patiently and thoroughly answered my questions. Now I'm waiting to hear back from Dr. Rodriguez with his response to a few procedure specific questions.

Thank you!

I arrived Monday at about 11AM in El Paso. I had surgery around 3PM. By Wednesday I was really ready to go home but they keep you 4 days. I traveled home Thursday afternoon and was perfectly fine to go to work Friday. I don't have a super physical job, but I was fine walking around and standing and sitting. Nobody at work thought anything of my 4 day absence. :-). I know that not everyone is quite so easy. Some have hernias and such that I didn't have to deal with.
