Other things done while VGS in Mexico



Recommended Posts

I am thinking of having my teeth whitened while in Mexico for my VGS. Did anyone else that had VGS done in Mexico have any other procedures or look into others?

I'm going to do a chemical peel. I'm a band to sleeve conversion and they keep you a few days longer to check for complications. That being said, I know I'll be bored after the first few days. So, chemical peel. Also, since I'm taking the time off to recover from VSG it's good timing to recover from this as well.

My coordinator is also the coordinator for a cosmetic surgeon, but I wasn't financially prepared for that so she took us to get Botox... Love it!

I would really like to have some dental work performed. I never inquired about it though. Has anyone has bridges or veneers done?

I was going to do whitening but it's actually much cheaper locally. How?

Being in Texas and my dads family is only 90 miles from the border they go across a LOT. In fact all of their dental work was done in MX. One uncle had implants put in- $1000. Which is about 1/5 of what it is here.

My mother is going with me next week and she will have dental work done but my coordinator at Dr. Ortiz office said that there's a dentist about 10 min away that will do her work.

      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! 😞
