Dr. Pompa & LIMARP Surgical Unit

[southernbanded 4]

Hey guys I just got off the phone with the LIMARP Surgical Unit in Mexico I love ther facility and

have watched all of their youtube videos to find out more information. The cost of the VSG is $6500

and that includes everything even the stay at a spa type resort for two days and includes your family member to stay as well for free and airport pick up to and from the airport. I am excited about this, but I want to know has anyone used them and do they have any negative comments on them before I make my final descsion.

hey! LIMARP is great I was very happy with everything! The staff was excellent and I felt very comfortable being there congrats on choosing the sleeve!! I'm 15 days out of surgery and I'm feeling great! I love the sleeve they made for me... I am absolutely satisfied with how everything went!

I also used LIMARP/LIzaMARiaPompa and had a great experience. I am doing well on my weight loss and my recovery has been pretty easy, just some acid issues.

The negative comments I found about Dr. Pompa were actually on another forum and a couple people stated that she did not make her pouches as small. They had both had a barium contrast (think thats how it is termed) a few months out of post op and the sleeves were really small at the top but not as small at the bottom. I believe one of them had hers redone by Dr. Aceves. I actually didn't read about these miraculously until after I had my surgery. I do know most of this went down around the first of last year and Dr. Pompa was consulted regarding the size of the pouch left behind. So I am hoping that after those complaints she has fine tuned her pouch size.

I know that a Canadian coordinator takes a large group at least once a month to her. She is a very very good doctor with a great safety record and the groups that have been taken have had great results. Since I myself am doing well on my weight loss I can't complain. I just brought these up because you asked and I wish I had at least read about it before I had surgery, and to give you a chance to address it with her before you go.

The facility was great, the staff was wonderful and attentive though I am a pretty self sufficient patient. At this point I would use her again in a heart beat. I can't wait to check out my pouch at my 6 month leak test.

Good luck and keep us posted!
