  1. My doctor is Dr. Valenzuela (Mexico Bariatric). Has anyone heard of her and if so, what was your experience? My surgery is scheduled for the 21st and I'm staying in Mexico until the 26th and will return to work on the 2nd. I have an active job and spend a lot of time on my feet. I'm particularly concerned because I have an event on the 4th January which will keep me on my feet all day and that will be very taxing. I thought I'd be recovered by then but am hearing stories about people who needed to take it easy for 3 weeks. How will I feel two weeks after surgery? Will I be able to handle a big day like that? How soon can one do weight training? I know we are supposed to walk a lot after surgery but how long does it take before we can lift weights. I prefer weight training to cardio. How bad is the scarring? I'm having multiple incisions. I would have preferred one but for some reason, they don't do it. How noticeable is the scarring after a while? One of the reasons I'm overweight is that I eat at night. I have never had a problem with hunger during the day but suffer NED (Night Eating Disorder) and I get hungry just before I go to bed and even get up at night to eat. I was told that this would be resolved because I would no longer be hungry but want to know if there are others out there who have experience with this. Another of my issues is that I genuinely hate drinking fluids. I don't drink sodas or unhealthy drinks but also don't drink Water. I love coffee and tea. How did you get yourself to drink more water after the op? Hope I'm making the right decision. I've already paid so it's too late for regrets now.
