I can find very limited information on him he does have a few happy clients who received the sleeve but I wanted to know if anyone has had our and why I wanted to know what people have to say about him I'm a little concerned that there isn't a lot of information the reason I'm considering him as they offer financing interest free without a credit check for part of the procedure they may charge a little more than some of the others butts not having to pay the full amount is helpful. Any accurate information that you can provide me about this dr. In this facility is appreciated as you know with doctors in Mexico it could mean the difference between life and death. thank you

I never had a pet before, it is normal to be so upset over a dog??

hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363 ~ cw 351

Of course a dog is a sin to you it is your friend it is your companion in some cases they sleep with you they eat with you they're always happy to see you 100% loving and accepting and happy to be with you all the time how could you not have strong feelings for your Companion Pet it is perfectly normal it is like losing a loved one you will probably go through the seven stages of grief it is better to feel the pain and experience them to stuff it believe me I know I speak from experience I lost my son Which is far more difficult than losing a pet you as you can imagine let me know how it goes not having food to cope with emotion I think that is my biggest fear that I will handle that psychologically I think that will make it necessary to experience feelings and I'm not sure how I will do with that since I've been stuffing them for so long I've not yet had surgery good luck in all your endeavors

You can Google it it is where there is one connection instead of 2 being made it is very similar to a regular gastric bypass but less complications and an easier procedure

Is there anyone else here that is going to go to Mexico for their procedure? I was told I might be a candidate for the sleeve I'm not really sure. I have some problems with GERD. in that case they usually want you to get the mini gastric bypass .the thing is they don't use that procedure in the United States at least not often I have my reservations about the whole thing I'm hoping to get it done before the end of the year or before my birthday in April I really want to find a buddy who's going to be doing it as well also someone who is older all you young people bounce back so quickly!

I am 48. is anyone going to Mexico or did anyone go to Mexico to get their procedure? I also want to know what I'm in for what kind of problems did you have afterwards? could you eat ?were you sick? or your bathroom habits normal? did you have pain in your stomach ? Are there things that you can never eat again? did you choke at night? were you able to drink enough to feel sated ?are you hungry? were you weak? fill me in everybody !I want to hear all of it The Good The Bad and The Ugly

Okay, I'm going to ignore the "God punishing you" part, because that doesn't even make sense.

It's totally normal to be scared shitless about having surgery. It's totally normal to be scared you're going to die on the table. But the truth of the matter is, you've got a higher chance of dying from weight related illnesses like high blood pressure. The odds of dying from those surgeries are very low. Less than 1% with the sleeve and just a smidge more with the bypass. Same percentages with complications.

I was 47 when I had surgery. I, like you, had high blood pressure and was on medication and was also on medication for diabetes. I'd lost my mom a few years before from congestive heart failure from a massive heart attack at 68, and I didn't want to end up the same way so young.

Although it requires a HUGE commitment to change your whole way of life, this was the best thing I've ever done. I'm in the best shape of my life and feel amazing. If you feel you are ready to take charge of your health and life and commit to the changes needed, you will not regret the surgery. And by no means is it easy! I still drag my butt to the gym when I don't want to, I still have to eat very mindfully, a lot of times depriving myself of the foods I really want but know I shouldn't have because it will lead me right back to where I started.

This surgery was absolutely necessary for me, and I make NO apologies to anyone. I chose medical intervention in order to deal with my obesity, just like someone who has a heart attack may need open heart surgery in order to save their lives. Surgery probably helped me prolong my life, and for that I am grateful. You will be too.

Thank you for your post my father died from a heart attack my mother takes more pills than I have in my home medicine cabinet different types of illnesses do run in my family I am 48 so it is kind of scary at my age to undertake something this big I also hear how difficult it is for people afterwards I don't know how I'm going to cope psychologically since food has always been a coping mechanism for me I think that worries me the most how did people deal with the emotions afterwards? What you do when you want to eat and you can't because it will make you sick or possibly even kill you if you burst your stitches I mean I can just say no but it won't feel good tell me about that part of it how did you cope with wanting food

Can I ask you this, Do you believe in God? The reason I said this because I was you, our story sounds the same except my son passed 2months before his second birthday. I was so afraid of having this surgery, I too said what if I die, I too love food, I too suffered with high blood, diabetes and arthritis in my knees, but ,I never ever had surgery a day in my life , never been put to sleep, heck I never broken a bone, so imagine how I was feeling, just like you. But when I stepped out and allowed God to step in and trust him fully with my life my worries begin to fade away. I can say I never gave fear a second thought on that operating table on September 14, 2016 yes last month I had the RNY surgery. Think of your health , have strength and put your power into play , fear not. You just put it all in Gods hands . you will do just fine

I believe in God I just don't think he likes me very much LOL so I'm going to be going to Mexico for my surgery I think I'm a little nervous about that as well but hopefully I'll have a success story like the rest of you afterwards fingers crossed right?

Okay so I'm a little bit paranoid I guess I wonder if you're going to punish me for taking the easy way out of so many people would say I'm really afraid of surgery people die during surgery it does happen I became really paranoid about things like that after my 23 year old son died from multiple sclerosis I think I have a little bit of a mental disorder regarding anxiety and a bit of paranoia the closer it gets to the time when I'm actually going to do it I'm really afraid that something will go wrong I'm sort of a Negative Nancy it seems too good to be true I cannot imagine being that ever again I was never a skinny skinny girl I'm 5 foot for my good normal healthy weight was about 1:35 I was always voluptuous big boobs big butt the funny thing is I thought I was fat then too now I can't even get a pair of those pants up to my knee and that's the waist of them. Anyway I am 2:45 the most I've ever weighed in my life I have high blood pressure I'm on two different kinds of medication I have arthritis in my back and my knees and two herniated discs of cervical stenosis and gerd so basically yeah I'm a mess I'm sort of looking into the mini gastric bypass I am 48 years old and I'm going to be going to Mexico to get it done so I guess yeah I feel guilty I've never been one to exercise ever and I really do like food I don't think people get fat from not eating people get fat because they don't want to exercise and because they like food right? Yes they are the lucky few that have this great metabolism where they can eat whatever they want and never get fat and we are not those people I've spent my life being angry that it was not me I felt like it wasn't fair and it really isn't but it is life I'm sorry I know I'm rambling I just needed to get this Ranch out and maybe hoped to hear that there are others out there like me? Thanks for listening
