Also i heard these two work together as a team in assisting the other. Know anyone sleeved by either? There isnt alot of info on the net about them.

I was sleeved by Dr. Cabrera on September 25, 2013. It was a good experience and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Everyone was nice and professional. I only saw Dr. Cabrera twice, but was pleased with the overall care I received from all the doctors and nursing staff. I've lost 68 lbs. as of today... started at 263.

My sister is having surgery with Dr. Cabrera on Wednesday. I'm going as her support person. We fly out tomorrow!!

Thank you for the well wishes and best of luck to you on the 6th. From what i've read and am hearing Cabrera is an EXCELLENT and brilliant Dr and probably one of the best in mexico, but is still soo underrated. But please be sure to share your experiences, I will be looking forward to it.

Hi there! I was Just sleeved by Cabrera last Thursday 1/24 & very pleased with him & his team of doctors!

That's great that gives me hope and a good view of what I'll expect. Can you tell me more about your experince? How is your pain, diet etc? Please share.

My pain was the worst when I first woke from surgery & it got better through the night. Then I had pain when their removed my drain, but once it was out virtually all pain went away. My diet is still clear (broth, Jello, popsicles, etc) but I have tried a couple bites of non fat vanilla yogurt & it settled well!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
