Calling all April 2013 Sleevers going to Mexico!



Recommended Posts

Hi Tania here

Sleeve booked in for April 4 & would like to join a thread and FB ( email below) with others starting the same around that time.

Was booked for Band however after further research have switched to the Sleeve. Seems like less maintenance ( fills , visits etc) and a more normal or natural outcome, just me , well hopefully less of me, just with a smaller stomach. No foreign bits inside me, and too be honest food getting 'stuck' with the band doesn't appeal.

Recovery & healing is what I am most anxious about, I see the chat on here as well about the possible grief post op of losing a good chunk of a body part & I understand that. Reminds me to book in for regular shrink sessions to help me with the change & adjustment. Love to hear from you Tania

Anyone that had been to OCC and dr Ortiz...did you purchase a spirometer and take it with you? The paperwork says to do so but I am wondering if that is necessary. My surgery date is April 15th and I hope that the flight home is ok for me. It will be a long flight and I don't want to be in pain for the entire trip. I guess it's one of the prices you have to pay if your traveling to Mexico for the surgery.

I AM getting sleeved April 15 with Dr. Garcia and I went through Ready4Achange.

I'm also getting sleeved by Dr. Garcia through ready4change on April 15th 2013. I was supposed to go a month ago but had to change my date because of career commitments. I assume we'll be seeing each other there!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
