Im from Alberta and just got back from Puerto Vallarta. I was sleeved on Oct 20 with Dr Lopez and his wife Dr Osuna, I had a great experience, the hospital is top notch and quiet. Karen, Dr Lopez's assistant is great. I woke up after surgery with such pain in my shoulder neck, so as soon as i was back from recovery i walked. It helps. Had heartburn for a day but i was given something. Once back at the hotel I walked alot, they have Jello and chicken broth but you pay for that. Sat by the pool with grape gatorade and ice was wonderful. I found the wifi was slow and theres a charge for that. Rooms are comfortable. People are very nice and helpful. I've had no problems except for the heartburn the first couple days. If your bringing someone, they have a Breakfast buffet thats wonderful according to my husband. I had Decaf tea and juice every morning then i found out they had jello enough for three meals. So glad i had this done. felt better as soon as i woke up. cant say enough about Dr Lopez, Dr Osuna and Karen.

I went through A Lighter Me and it cost $4500 to have your surgery in TJ. $5000 in Puerto Vallarta.

I have high BMI too. I'm planning for March/TJ and I'm hoping I can lose enuff to lower my BMI which greatly reduces my risk and cost. When/where are you going?

      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! 😞
