Shopping for a Dr. in Mexico



Recommended Posts

mysherrijo, did you have your fills done back in Mexico or with a dr in the states? I'm trying to decide which way to go and if it makes a difference. Thanks

kwhenrykerr, I have enjoyed your posts. They are so encouraging. 2 days left...leave Sunday for Dr. Ortiz. I'm good with losing slowly after a June reunion, but I badly want to have 50 pounds off by then. Y'all keep me in your prayers on Monday. MY BIG DAY!!! New beginnings, a year to celebrate!

Hi Robin,

Just checking in to see if you are back home yet. How are you feeling? I leave for San Diego on the 25th and have surgery on the 26th.

You are definately in my prayers.

Your buddy from Ok/Co.

Michelle

Michelle, I am home and doing wonderful. Best thing of my life...and I would do it again in a heart beat. LOVE LOVE LOVE the team in Mexico...awesome. Had the best time...going back every year just to keep in touch. Lost 16 so far and its just been 4 days, but that also included the preop diet that I stuck to pretty faithfully. Please do keep in touch! I cleaned out all my email, so I don't know if I had your email address or not. Here's mine robbin58@cox.net

Hello everyone! I was banded on 11/2 in TJ with Dr. Huacuz and now its time for my fill. I have recontacted his office and they all have been great about being available for me to return there for my fill. I have looked around the Northern CA and haven't been happy with the options I have found. I am a little nervous about getting the first fill. It seems like a dream of a happy life. I am down 85+ pounds (pre/post) since I entered this journey. Thank you everyone for sharing your questions and all that answer. CJay

it is normal to be nervous about your first fill, we all go through that. i hope you are excited to finally start the losing stage. dr. huacuz is excellent at doing fills. he has done mine and i have been very happy with his judgment on how much to put in. try to be careful eating . i try small bite of something and wait a while to make sure it goes down ok. i also try not to eat after 6pm , since you can get acid reflux if you eat late and go to bed. when you lie down the acid will rise into the esophogus and burn your throat, thus making it swell and then you will feel yucky. so take it slow and have fun in tj. i always have a great time there. i love the people . dr huacuz and dr romero are the best. good luck and happy losing. ive lost 85lbs. it is coming off slower now that i am close to my goal weight. i had to step it up at the gym. catz:biggrin1:

      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! 😞
