I need to build muscle under my skin, I see my skin getting flabby after 50 lbs weight loss and want to put something under there!

You can drink again. My doc's office recommends 4 -5 months and not overdoing it and also protecting the stomach the day you will plan on drinking. I have not tried it yet but do plan on a glass of wine on Christmas.

Excellent surgeon and hospital in Mexico! I had surgery with Dr. Wilhelmy and Dr. Campos and was very pleased with the experience.

LOL if you figure it out share, too late for me now!

Great story!

Rdeaster what a spot on review on Dr. Wilhelmy and everyone at Mexicali Bariatric Center! be proud of supporting your daughter with this life changing step. Her life will change and how neat that you were a part of this important change in her life. She will be grateful forever!

Dr Wilhemy did my surgery in Mexico. He did suture over the staples and I had 3 tests to check for leaks. I had a very good surgical experience with him and all his medical team in Mexicali, Mexico, this is where the hospital is. You start your journey by going to San Diego California and meet their driver. You pay more than 5000 dlls but it is worth it!

Hi Veronica, I went to Mexicali for surgery with Dr. Wilhelmy too! You will be in great hands , he and all the staff at the hospital are awesome. I did have to call quite frequently the first couple of weeks mostly questions on the diet. You will meet with Dr. Campos who has a sleeve, is a bariatric dr and nutrition specialty too. He can answer your questions I just did not know what I had to ask when I was there. Do not worry too much the office staff will answer your questions you forget to ask there. Do not be nervous about going to Mexico, at least not to Almater hospital and wonderful medical team at Mexicali Bariatric. You will feel well taken care of and safe in their care. i would not change a single thing and would take my own mother for surgery there if she needed it.

You are not eating so you are not really gaining fat probably just water!

I only did it for a little over 1 month, I was instructed to do it for 2 months but once I was eating real food I started taking them normally. I did not crush them but broke/cut them into smaller pieces, my doctors allowed me to do this.

I was able to wear a sports bra, no underwire and when I got back to my room I was able to put my undergarments back on, well actually when I woke up enough to mind. Slippers in case they do not give you some, I did get a pair at the hospital but many places do not give you slippers, you will be doing lots of walking so you need them. Think about chap stick, pictures of your kids or family not with you at the hospital, your own comfy pillow, gas x and any medication you are currently taking! Best with your surgery!
