Has anyone had surgery in Reynosa with Dr. Cantu? How did it go? I am supposed to go in May. I'm a little apprehensive. Im excited at the same time.

Hi there! I will be having surgery with him the last week of May. During Spring break I went to Reynosa to check out the office and hospital. It was VERY nice. Im getting a bit nervous about the surgery. There are not a lot of comments on here that speak of Dr. Cantu. I chose him because a family member had surgery with him several years ago. She had no complications at all. When is your surgery?

Keep me posted on how it goes. Are you getting the preop requirements done here or in Reynosa? My aunt and her daughter both had it done by Dr. Cantu. They look awesome. Do you have someone going with you? Have you met him yet? What made you choose him? Just curious. I had never heard of him until I asked my aunt who her doctor was.

I am having Pre-op done with Dr. Cantu. have not met him yet; but have had several phone conversations with Lupita. I am going alone because we take care of MR adults and have to have coverage to be gone. My husband will have to stay behind. I found him doing an internet search for Texas border town bariatric surgeons. I wanted to drive there and be close enough for my husband to get to me if something happened.

I see. I believe you will do fine. Driving back might be a bit of a challenge. I had the lapband several years ago and I learned fast that we use stomach muscles to do the simplist of things. I was able to drive without pain about t days after surgery. Do you live far/close to Reynosa?

I am a special education facilitator at a high school. We talk about transition in ARDs all the time. Kuddos to you and your husband.

      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! 😞
