Just wondering if anyone on here has used Dr. Zapata in Monterey.... if so, how much the total cost? Did you have any complications? I had the vertical sleeve done and am having lots of complications... doctor said the conversion to rny would help, but not having insurance I'm looking in Mexico. Any feedback would be appreciated.

God Bless

I recommend Dr. Alberto Aceves in Mexicali, his webpage: http://mexicalibariatric.com I had surgery with him a week ago, he is THE BEST!!! No pain, not hungry, no nausea, him and his team are a 5 star team. I am local, I live in Mexicali but know that people from all over the world travel to get surgery done with him. I hope you like what you read on his webpage.

Did you have or do you still have gerd? My sleeve made mine worse..... I can't eat without vomiting. No stricture.... no leak..... my doctor seems to think that doing the RNY will alleviate my gerd and allow me to be able to tolerate food. I've read a lot about Dr. Aceves on VST. Dr. Alvarez did my sleeve surgery. I'm hoping that this nightmare can come to an end and I can finally start living my life.

Yes, I had reflux which we thought was caused by a hiatal hernia, I've never had lapband or sleeve, this is my first WLS but my surgeon said that bypass takes care of the reflux. I heard from his staff last week that a lot of people from VST come down here for surgery, I've never been to that forum, but I think it is the most "popular" surgery at the moment. For me, bypass was suggested because of the reflux. One week out, no regrets!!! Is Dr. Alvarez in TJ? or Mty?

I wish that bypass would have been mentioned to me..... Dr. Alvarez is in piedras negras. .... think I spelled that right lol . I've been doing a lot of research and your doctor is right , my sleeve made my reflux 10 times worse . I had my sleeve done 11/30/2012 and have been miserable ever since , none of the acid reducers help. Will definitely be giving Dr. Aceves a call

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
