November Vs Mexico Date Roll

Good Morning all. I have a lapband but researching a conversion to VS. A friend of mine is going to TJ to have a VS. I am here to support her and find others who are going at the same time. She will have Dr Fernando Garcia as a surgeon and today she will get a date. I am going to Mexico with her. I had plastic surgery done with Dr Carmina Cardenas and she does have a Bariatric surgeon on staff Dr Filipe Garcia. The reason my friend did not pick him is lack of information on here about him. He performed VS on Dr Cardenas and her assistant. Believe or not, they only had 20-30 pounds to loose. They did it for life maintenance. With that said, her sugery will be around first week of November

There are 2 doctors with lighterme at MI hospital and only 7 of us between the 2.

I am having plastics with Dr. Bello on November 12th. He works with Dr. Aceves (He performed my sleeve 1/5/11). Will be heading into Mexicali on November 11th! Flying into San Diego with my sister on Friday for a couple days of fun before surgery!

What kind of plastics are you getting? And how much do they charge? I still haven't even had my surgery yet, but I'd like to start planning ahead :)

I had Lopez on the 3rd, there were 3 of us. I am doing really well. We were at MI hospital. I am at the hotel now, the first day out was rough for me, I vomited a few times because I wasn't walking enough, but once I got over taht I was fine. I did the blue dye and the barium swallow test, no leaks. I am back at the hotel now trying to push the liquids. I went down for chicken broth, and I had it the night befor the surgery, it tasted devine, tonight it tasted like salt water! My mother is here with me and told me it was just me, it was the same broth, very strange! I feel good otherwise!

How is everyone healing????

I had Dr. Lopez on the 3rd, it was a great experiience, I am healing wonderfully. Just got home last night. I just keep having to remind myself to drink drink drink so I don't get dehydrated. I have noticed hot and warm liquids go down and feel much better than cold liquids, and I have already noticed my tastes have changed. It is strange, but good! I also have zero hunger, and no desire to eat, which I honestly did not believe would happen. I could not say greater things about Dr. Lopez, A Lighter Me, Mi Hospital, Abraham, or Eduardo. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
