Hi there! I hope your surgery went well, congrats!, you are now on the looser bench :) . How was your experience at Star Medica In Juarez, and Dr Rod and his staff? was it all you were expecting for? I will leave to Juarez tomorrow early morning for surgery, im a bit nervous right now, just hoping i don't coward at last minute lol.

Hi all!! I was sleeved 7/3 by Dr. Garcia and am doing great!!! Walking about 2 miles a day and just getting used to eating like a newborn. I had some cramping in my stomach every time I ate or drank anything for the first few days, but thankfully that has now passed. I am already down 16 pounds (8 pre op) and am so excited about the future.

I will be sleeved the 24th by Dr. Kelly at Nova I will be at Lucerna afterwards.

I will be sleeved the 24th by Dr. Kelly at Nova I will be at Lucerna afterwards. I'm going to Tj alone... So looking for anyone who will be around during this time.

One week to go. I'm getiting nervous. My eye has been twiching for three days. Super annoying. Anyone going to Aceves around the 19th?

I'm going to be sleeved by Dr. Kelly on the 26th at Nova. On my 3rd day of the pre-op diet & already down 5 lbs.

Going to be at NOVA with Dr. Kelly on the 24th!

I was sleeved this afternoon by Dr. Kelly. It's early in the game right now, but I am very impressed with the man. I've had better care anymore genuine concern than in the states during past surgeries and visits. I'll post my experience soon so I can help others after me like I was.

I was sleeved by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, MX on July 8, 2013! Spent July 7 to 11 at Almater Hospital.

I noticed some upcoming Dr. Aceves patients... check out my YouTube channel OakleygirlgoesVSG to see my 8 hour post-op video and more!

July 26th with Dr. Ismael Cabrera Garcia at Mi Doctor Hospital. Stayed at the Pueblo Amigo.

Surgery with Dr Kelly in Tj, MX on July 25, 2013. Nova Hospital 7/25-26/2013 Hotel Lucerna 7/27-28/2013

No Sleeve for me.

I went to the hospital today and my blood count was too low. I appreciate Drs. Valenzuela and Cabrera for not doing a surgery on someone they were concerned about. Oddly enough, I am okay. Being healthy is best for me right now. :)

Sorry you had to go through the hassle, PrincessSleeve, but glad you're o.k. with their decision. It sounds like you have a very healthy attitude about it. What's your plan now?

Had sleeve done by dr aceves on July 31st. Doing ok. I have my barium leak test this morning sometime. Feeling gassy but walking the halls. Care has been good and doctors excellent

Thank you. I am glad that Dr. Valenzuela is do very thorough.

I am going to continue on my WLJ. If I could lose weight before surgery, then I can continue. I don't see food like I did. Cutting back really made me not want to over eat and fir me a regular size meal is over eating. I am still in Mexico and will leave Saturday instead of Monday. I have been here 5 days already and I am ready to start exercising and adding that protein that made me feel so much better. Overall, I had a great time here.
