Hi guys I’m in the same boat! MGB on the 11th today is my first day on full liquids. Still moving a lil slow. How do u know when your full? Haven’t tried to drive yet, y’all? How long r y’all taking off of work? Have u started your Vitamins? I’m sorry I so full of questions 🤪

Hi guys I am 4 days post op and doing ok. Still a lil pain but staying on meds n doing my walking. Any pointers please offer up 😘

I’m up eating lol drinking for the last time surgery is at 12 today 3/11 and I’m extremely nervous still u decided on which is the best option for me :( sleeve or MGB. Please keep in in your prayers my name is Crystal. God bless us all

I’m fixed but need my birth control to control bleeding. They told me to stop it and of course the flow came I’m so upset. I don’t want to worry about this on top of my healing

Do not do! Waste of money opt for something different. U will be back for a revision like me if you do.

@Recidivist I hate your going through this. I pray your pain is lifted and your healing begins. Stay strong friend and positive.

@Needs the Beach
I’m right there with you hun. I’m scared and hungry. Still going back and forth if I should do sleeve vs MGB.

Thank u Healthy_life2 for the wealth of info :D what did you choose? We’re u over 40 BMI or under?

Thank you for posting I’m scheduled for surgery on Monday and still torn btw the sleeve and MGB. HELP!

Yes, the said MGB abut im not sure if it’s too invasive and I don’t want to have another wls for revision.

Please help my surgery is Monday and I am still unsure which procedure is better for me. I have a failed lapband, BMI of 33.2, CW 189. I read the forums how sleeve patients usually regain after years and go back for revision. However is MGB to invasive for my weight loss. I don’t want to lose to much. Please help me decide. More heads and opinions are better than one :)

Has anyone had MGB in Guadalajara Mex or Mexico? Expierence withDr. Alejandro Lopez? Did you have to have a drain to decrease infection? Was it left open or closed? This freaks me OUT!

Does this work for MGB? Should I take my heating pad from home?

How r my Marchees doing?! I am approaching my surgery date on 3/11 n question myself everyday if this is the correct path? Not going to lie I’m shitting bricks! Surprisingly the preop diet isn’t that bad, I can’t wait to eat at dinner. How did u know the MGB/GBP was the right route vs the sleeve? My BMI is 33

How are u doing everyone? I have similar stats and share this same story only I’m having removal of my lapband to MGB in 6 days and am doubting myself every second. I know I want to be healthy but it is a huge risk and hate to see it fail like the first.

I had the same concerns and am going with Dr. Alejandro Lopez in Guadalajara. My husband will be able to stay with me.

What about trying Primer Protein they taste delicious

Hi Kris77
I can have it removed here but my insurance won’t cover the MGB because I don’t have Pre-existing chronic health conditions and I would have to pay 30K here. Plus I didn’t want to have 2 separate surgeries.

How long were you off from work for recovery? Any advice or must know tips to follow?

Thank you guys for sharing with me xoxo

Hi I had a lap band in 2015 and had complications. My dr is advising I have it removed. I am looking at having a revision surgery to MGB in Tijuana with Dr. A. Lopez. My lap-band was done in the states. My worry is am I crazy for weighing in at 190 and considering a another weight loss surgery? I have gained 30lbs in the last 6 months. Is MGB too invasive? I don’t want to loose to much and look unhealthy. Please be open and honest. God Bless is all!

Hi Pug-Mom-Patti
I’m going to Juarez with Dr. A. Lopez. MGB

March 8 n I’m so nervous :/ first time going out of the country for surgery
