I had surgery with DR. Ismael Caberra on August 24, 2013 he is a wonderful doctor you will not be disappointed ;). Also was at Mi Doctor Hospital very clean, staff very helpful and there for you within seconds, again will not be disappointed with MI doctor hospital either ;). I went through medical Tourisim WONDERFUL COMPANY everything explained well and regene was my contact there she's very helpful answering any questions you have very quickly via email. Also ask for Necie the cordinator in TJUANA she's fabulous ;). Overall I've lost 40 pounds with pre-op till now. Wish I had done it ALONG TIME AGO ;) Any questions feel free to message me on here.

At MiDoctor they gave me Water and cold greentea after I passed my leak test. I was sleeved by Cabrera/valenzuela and was told to be on Clear Liquids for the first full week and not even worry about Protein until the second week when I started drinking Protein Shakes.< /p>

They have apple juice, Gatorade and green tea. I really did not feel like eating till I got released from hospital wasn't hungry. When I got to hotel I had broth and juice. We stayed at Pablo Amigo it was GREAT on service and ammenties ;). They even went when I got back from hospital and picked up my medication ;). You will be on clear liquid first week or two. I know they told me no Protein for first week but after returning home approx six days after surgery I got really sick (chills, vomit and dehydrated) but was drinking every five min or less. I did protein then and next day felt a lot better just in case that happens? I was scared of leak but think was just very weak and dehydrated :(. I think it takes at least two weeks or longer to get to feeling better but hang in there CAUSE ITS DEFINATELY WORTH IT!! ;)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
