Yes, I went there for my sleeve and I got better care then i ever got here in America! my insurance doesn't cover bariatric surgery so I go to Dr Illan. he is a brilliant dr and the hospital is beautiful.

Yeah I remember last time I watched Frazier the whole time.. I love Antonio in so happy he's still there!!!!!!

I had severe acid reflux before I had my mini. I had a hiatal hernia too. That was fixed and my mini was done last year. I have since lost 120 lbs. I don't have any acid reflux, none at all. I may have had one small episode of bile reflux last fall but I'm not sure. It didn't last but 10 minutes and went away with a few swigs of mylanta. I don't take any medication for reflux but I'm prepared to take Nexium if need be. They sell it pretty cheap at costco and I have a friend who gets bile reflux after she had her gallbladder out. She said Nexium works very well.
As for eating, I can eat anything. I don't dump, I don't crush pills. I just eat very small amounts of food 5 or 6 times a day and stay on my healthy diet. I had a small piece of cake at a wedding and a cadbury egg at Easter but I have lost my sweet tooth so I don't crave that stuff anymore. It was really satisfying to allow myself a treat and find that I didn't want to finish it all. I just was not interested. I really love meat, veggies and fruit. I drink a Protein Shake every morning. I use a straw daily. I take my chewable vitamins and so far I have no complains. This was the best decision I ever made.
My philosophy is that nothing is perfect. I can either deal with the health issues that come with being obese along with how uncomfortable I was and that I hated my appearance OR I can deal with the very few health issues that might come with WLS. So far, it is one episode of something (maybe bile reflux) and a lot of extra skin. I"m good with that trade off.
I hope that helps!

Good luck my dear🙏

Are you guys getting your sleeve done in Mexico? I had mine two years ago by Dr Illan who is wonderful but I am going to go back for revision surgery to get the mini bypass because I lost weight but never got to my goal.

I am so upset! I am following my diet to a tee, getting ALL my Protein in every day and i stopped losing weight even though I am only having 5-700 calories per day! how can this happen???? I lost 14 lbs pre surgery, then 12 lbs after and now for the past two weeks NOTHING! I even gained a lb yesterday~! How is this possible and how to do STOP IT!

I too am a food addict but its not sweets, I cant stand candy, cake or Cookies, icecream, none of it, I'll never buy that stuff, I got fat from bread, pizza, chips, sandwiches, Bagels, CRACKERS, anything crunchy and salty. Wont the surgery help so that we will feel full faster when we eat these things or we just should never eat them again?

Surgery 7/18 and in a long stall!
Dropped 10 lbs by days 5-6 and now nothing. I get my Protein and liquids in pretty good. Just got green light for mushies! Soooo happy for it.. doing my greatest to remain positive! Slow loss is better than no loss
Started 294
Surgery 282
Current 270
Can't wait to exercise hard! This whole process started for me because of sports injuries and lack of proper nutrition on my part. I use to skate, roller derby then grub on chili fries and Coke... exercising stopped but not the eating. After two broken ankles, blown out knees and a boyfriend who cooks very very well I ballooned 60 pounds and could not get down. I have always struggled with weight and I've managed to maintain good health and remain active but knees are so bad these days. Remaining as optimistic as my Ortho . Super excited for this journey! Enjoying the ride

I am so glad to hear im not the only one! I am drinking alot of boullion and when i do that my weight goes up 2 lbs! is that from Water weight? this is so frustrating when your hardly eating and your weight goes up!
