Im scheduled to have my procedure with team Ismael Cabrera and Louisiana Valenzuela in Tijuana, Mexico the week of feb 20th. Any sleevers who will be there around this time who would like to team up? 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!!

I'm schedule with Dr.Cabrera on Feb 6th, Dr Valenzuela is out on medical leave so it will just be him. I pretty excited and terrified at the same time. Hope all goes well for you on the 20th.

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 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! 😞
