I had my mgb Nov 2019 and have loved it. I didn't have a single side effect and eat/drink everything I did before the surgery. I went from 240 to 170 in about 4 mos and then eventually made my goal weight of 150. My only issue is loose skin but I deal with it for now. I haven't had reflux since before the procedure and taking a bariatric Multivitamin every day has made my lab values perfect. All this without even exercising. I would probably be a size 8 if I hit the gym, but I'm too busy and love my size 12. If anyone is considering it, do it. I had mine in Tijuana after a yr of research. Best $5000 I ever spent!!!

I had a MGB at Hospital BC 3 weeks ago. Everything went fine. I paid $140 RT airfare, $5900 for surgery ($4600 for sleeve) I stayed in hospital all week and even had a tour of Tijuana. I did have to pay $65 for blood thinners injections to take home but that's not too bad. They picked me up from airport and brought me back to the airport. If I would've had a companion, he/she would've stayed in the same room as me bcuz they have an extra bed in there for guests. I'm thinking about using them for plastic surgery once the weight loss is done making me look fantastic. Lol

I have moderate acid reflux and was initially scheduled for a sleeve. I talked to my surgeon and he decided that a MBP was better for me. I'm concerned about bile reflux with the MBP, but a RNY doesn't have a reflux issue of any kind. If I were you, I would not get a sleeve and go for the RNY....just my opinion though.

I'm having surgery on the 26th so I have been eating everything in sight. I only have a 3 day pre-op diet to follow which is liquid with Protein. I can't wait for surgery, but I feel content having been able to pig out the last few days.

I'm having a gastric sleeve on Nov 26th in Tijuana. I only have a 3 day pre-op diet of Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes, so I won't be starving for 2 weeks like most of you have. I see most of you have had your surgery already. How did it go? How do you feel? I plan on taking a week off before returning to work....anyone having a hard time recuperating?

I have always had a hard time keeping Vitamins down. That's why I bought the BariMelts that melt in your mouth. I'm having my surgery on the 26th, but have been using the Barimelts for a month now. Hope that helps.

I am scheduled at OCC for November 26th for a gastric sleeve. I'm so excited, can't wait. They may not be the cheapest, but the reviews, credentialing, and excellent customer service make up for it. You get what you pay for.
