Thank you! Yes I have been doing research for almost 2 years now. Lots and lots of info! I am in search of a nutritionist near me and I need to work harder on a support group. I have been in counseling for a few years, but know how important a support group is. I ordered all my liquids, Proteins, supplements and 3 books that look helpful. I have watched a ton of videos on being sleeved..... Videos specific to Mexico too.... My boyfriend will be with me and he works with a Mobil Vet Surgeon. He does anesthesia and laparoscopy surgery almost everyday so he knows some great questions to ask. I feel good that he will be there for me. I am more excited but still nervous...

Hello everyone! I am new and wanted to introduce myself. I am almost 45 and having surgery in Mexico on December 18Th, 2015. I live in Beaverton, Oregon and I am looking for support groups in my area. Any and all advice will be looked at and considered! Thanks you!

I am going through Tijuana bariatrics with Dr. Fernando Garcia in Tijuana Mexico. My surgery date is set for December 19, 2015.

I cannot update either. It will not let me click on my name to update on the mobile site. I guess I will have to use my computer tomorrow? Thanks for the info

So excited for you! I look forward to following your journey

I am new! I am excited and nervous to go to Tijuana Mexico. I am having the gastric sleeve with Fernando Garcia.

3 days seems a bit soon.... I was given my medications whole in the hospital. Never told to crush them. Loose skin happens. Not a whole lot you can do to prevent it unfortunately. May be able to tighten a little with exercise, but some areas may be too far gone for even that. Same with hair loss. You can try all the tricks of the trade, and you may minimize it, but you won't ever flat out prevent it. Your doctor will clear you for the more strenuous exercise other than walking. Usually around 6 weeks out. Great questions! I am pre-op for December 19 and I had the same questions, as I have a very strenuous job! Thanks!
