Good luck to you. I'm getting sleeved on Thursday.

You're almost there. Good luck to you.

Thank you very much. Good luck to you as well, I'll keep you in my prayers as well. Keep me updated.

My nerves are starting to kick in. My husband and I are leaving Thursday morning and arrive in Tijuana at 11:30am. Dr. Zavalza is my surgeon, I just pray everything goes smooth and I have no major complications.

Memilie80 thank you so much! Very informative info. I feel a bit better now.

Thank you for responding. My bmi is 43 right now. I am on the pre-op diet now so hopefully I will lose some more weight by then.

My surgery is scheduled for next week. However, I hadn't realized that I haven't been on a plane in over 5-6 years and I don't know what the protocol is for overweight people. I currently weigh 238 and I'm 5'2. Those of you that had surgery in Mexico, did you need to purchase 2 seats? Thank you.

My surgery is on 7/2 with Dr. Zavalza in Tijuana.

Dr. Ponce was one of the top 3 surgeons on my list. I ended up choosing Dr. Zavalza who is also in Tijuana. My surgery is next week on 7/2. I'm going through bariatricpal and they have taken care of everything. The person I've been in contact with is David. Also, there's a sub forum on here for titled "Mexico and self pay gastric sleeves."

My surgery is next week with Dr Zavalza. From what I was told he sutures over the staple line.

I agree with you. That's what I like about bariatric advantage it's the only shake I've tried that's thick. The orange cream tastes just like a orange julius to me. Yummy!

Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and create an account. Did you already have surgery with Dr Z?

Thank you very much. Dr. Zavalza did mention that to me but I'm not on FB. I was thinking of making one just for that. I know I will have a lot of questions after surgery. How do I find that group?

It was really hard at first. It's gotten a bit easier. The hardest part is when I'm cooking for my family or family outings. At least we have just 1 more week to go. Good luck to you. Keep me updated.

Oh wow it looks like we'll be there around the same time. Are you going through bariatricpal? I can't believe I'm only a week away from getting sleeved. Dr. Zavalza has been wonderful, anytime I have a question or concern he immediately gets back to me. I'm confident we'll be in good hands. How's you pre-op diet going?

I just tried the orange cream flavor and it's sooooo good!! This is the 1st meal replacement shake that I actually enjoy. I just thought I'd share.

Good luck to you! Keep us updated.

Good luck @@SharonTX!_ Please give us an update when you can. I'll be there on July 2nd with Dr. Z. Can't wait!

My surgery date is July 3rd. It was scheduled for the 2nd but they pushed it out 1 day. Good luck to all the July sleevers.

That's exciting! Good luck to you. I start my pre-op diet soon too. My surgery is on July 3rd.

Thank you all for responding. I made a list if the vitamins I need. I'm looking into getting the bariatric vitamins, I found them on Amazon.

Wow 3 weeks?! That's so awesome. I'm getting sleeved on July 2nd and I have high blood pressure.

Thank you all for your feedback. This really helped me a lot, I figured I could do it on l my own but after reading your responses I asked my mom for help. My 1 year old still sleeps in his crib and I know I won't be able to lift him. Luckily my mom said yes so I'm happy to say I can stop stressing off of that. Thanks again!

I'm getting sleeved July 2nd and I'm trying to get everything ready. What kind of vitamins are you using post op and how soon were you advised to start them? Thanks!
