Hi Everyone,

I am thinking about having Gastric Plication (Supper Sleeve) with Dr.Jose Rodiriguez in Mexico. I am a little scard because I really don't know much about the Dr other then what is on his webpage and about going out of the U.S. Has anyone had this done with Dr Rodiriguez In Mexico?

I had my surgery with Dr. Corvala in TJ. Check him out. Great Doc and hospital. He's done the most plications. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. I had my plication on July 16th.

Oh hey Sleeve or bust, you are going through DrPompa... I went through weight loss forever in saskatchewan, I think you can go whereever you want to book it (unfortunately no support groups yet in Calgary, but hopefully soon!!)... I had to book 2 months in advance as I have to give work one months notice, and with summer being here the other month was taken up, way too much to do lol 25 days now though!! Definitly looking forward to getting it done, lets stay in touch, any tentative dates?? Mine is Sept 17th :svengo:

I have a friend of my family's who used weight loss forever and went to Dr Pompa and that is how I found out about her and all of this.. such an enlightening experience thus far!!... If you dont mind me comparing.... her price was 9000$ incl flights and the whole package.. is that what you are also paying? this was the price given to her from the centre.

So her experience I take it with Dr.Pompa was wonderful!!!

How long ago was the surgery? How much is she down so far?? Im always excited to hear the results!!

As for payment ...it is 8900$USD for the basic package and Im paying $10900 for someone from WLF to go with me as a companion. My boyfriend isnt too impressed hes not going, lol but I need someone whos been there done that and can help support me through all of it. I just feel better that way, even though I love him dearly. :svengo:

I had the "regular" sleeve, 7/1/10, by Dr. Rodriguez. The surgery, his staff, the hospital, etc. exceeded my expectations. I went by myself and didn't have any problems.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
