June 6, 201412 yr Hi! I'm in Oviedo and am getting sleeved July 9th in Mexico. I would to have a local support grouoto connect with for my journey! I use to stay in oviedo and I live In orlando now. I went to mexico in April for vsg and it was great. Who is your dr?
June 7, 201412 yr Glad to hear you had a good experience! I'm going to Dr. Quiñones with Santa Fe Medical Group in Tijuana. Who did you use? How is your weightloss going?
June 10, 201412 yr I used Dr Lopez Specialized Bariactrics in Tijuana I heard great things about Quinones. I've lost 40 pounds so far.
June 18, 201412 yr Would love a local group for support. Had band to sleeve revision on May 23rd with Dr Lopez in TJ and it's been rough not having follow up here at home. Questions and concerns go unanswered and I take things day by day.

Questions and concerns go unanswered and I take things day by day. Maybe we can come up with a local support group In Orlando. That would be great. I know it's not the same when you don't have it locally. It's a a lot you have to figure out on your own.
June 19, 201412 yr I would definitely be interested in meeting with a local group. Also for anyone on Facebook I'm part of a group that has been very informative for me. It is a secret group so you can only be added by invite. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to have me add you.
June 24, 201412 yr I was sleeved may 7.I'm liking it but want to be losing more. I have been stalled for 3weeks.
July 27, 201411 yr I am scheduled for surgery one month from today - August 26th in Tiajuana - Dr Cabrera. I live in Howey in the Hills, and have two friends that have had the surgery same place in the past couple of months. We are going to start a support group in Clermont soon... I think they are waiting for me to be sleeved. Even tho I am a month out - I just started my pre-op liquid diet. I have to lose 15 lbs before my surgery date - to lower my BMI - Im on the border of it being $1000 more for the surgery with a higher BMI.
August 25, 201411 yr Hello everyone! I am in Orlando and I am going to go with Dr. Fernando Garcia possibly in December. How is everyone coming along from their surgery?
October 9, 201411 yr I live in Oviedo and have just decided to pursue a sleeve. Does anyone know of any good surgeons? Or, more importantly - does anyone know of any bad surgeons - the ones to stay away from? Thanks.

I had my sleeve done in Mexico by Dr. Quinones on July 9th of this year. I was so pleased with my experience and would gladly share any knowledge with you. If you are traveling outside of the US for your surgery, I do not recommend Dr. Alvarez in Mexico as I have spoken with many dissatisfied patients of his. If you are staying in the US for surgery and are lucky enough to have insurance cover it, I have heard fantastic things about Celebration Health. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to chat!
Surgery date scheduled for June 30th. Would love an online support group if one has not already been started. Maybe even some offline support as well.
