Mexico Bariatric Center- Dr. Cabrera
Used up as in I expected with the US dollar conversion they would have really new state of the art equipment in the rooms.for example the ekg machine was functional but old.another example they count the IV drips but don't use an IMED.They run a lot of people through so the rooms need painting and repairs that you would expect to see. The hospital is like a lot of USA rural hospitals okay but bare bones.

Mexico Bariatric Center- Dr. Cabrera
I used Cabrera. The hospital is used up.but they seemed to know what they were doing.he didn't ask for labs,they do them there along with an EKG.i had my surgery on St. Patricks Day 2016 my pre op weight was 252 and I weigh 138 today.good luck!

To skinny
The only people that say I am too skinny are people bigger than me.everyone my size or smaller does the eye roll side eye thing,because no one ever comments on them being thin and taking care of themselves.

Pre-op diet, lost 20# in less than 2 months, feeling great....but.....
I had an episode pre-op like this.Oh God was it awful.It would stop a day and restart.It was related to my progesterone.After surgery I had another spell where my cycle changed to every 22 days.It finally got back to normal after 6 months.It was like perimenopause.

secrets
Pretty much everyone knows except for two people for different reasons.I haven't told my sister.She is hyper critical of my weight and has always been the pretty skinny one.She has gained a lot of weight.I can see her physically confronting me.The other person is my best friend.I want to surprise her next month with my massive weightloss.She would be supportive, but she's never seen me small.I think it'll be funny.As far as coworkers most know.But it's not your job to tell them especially if you don't like them or are not friends with them.There are some people I wish I hadn't told that's for sure.

NSV-YAY for the farm girl
Just wait until you start feeling all the bones you didn't know you had.I remember a time last month I thought why does my butt hurt, oh it's a bone in my rear.

I think I broke it
Seriously you could try a brown cow which is milk of magnesia mixed with warm prune juice and butter. Or you might need lactose. But you will curse the day you take that.youll get a cherry red baboon butt from all the wiping, but bright side no more constipation.
