wanting surgery in February



Recommended Posts

Hello all. My name is Valerie and I am a 43 yr old and have a BMI of 41.1 at this point. I have just spoke with Kim who is helping me to get scheduled for gastric plication. I hope I am making the right choice. I am very unhealthy and have already had one TIA and am staring down the barrell of a stroke or heart attack with triglycerides running at 1186! I am very scared of leaving the country! A lot of bad press out there for Mexico right now. However, since I will be private pay I feel I have no choice but to leave the US for treatment. Is there anything that I can be doing between now and February that will help to make this process flow as smoothly as possible? I am nervous but I am n=more afraid of my health than anything else. Has anyone been to Tiajuana lately? Do you feel safe there? I appreciate any help and advice anyone can give me.

i recommend Mexicali, Mexico - with Dr. Aceves....he is definitely your best choice. He and his staff are very reliable and professional. If you need more info, please feel free to contact NIna, she's the patient coordinator and she's great as well. :rolleyes:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
