So idk my surgery date yet i just know in October. ...

What are your dates and progress so far

Does the apple juice your drinking have added sugar. Your not suppose to drink or eat anything high in sugar. That could be why your acidic & nauseated.

No sugar, made sure to stay away from anything with sugar. Will just keep trying to keep it down.

That stinks that you can't keep your liquids down! I had to stay in the hospital three nights not just one. Just because my doctor felt more comfortable. I will tell you the x ray test with the liquid after that test I regretted my surgery at first. I kept gagging and wanting to throw up. I thought I was going to die during that test! Tomorrow marks my one week since being sleeved and trust me...it's worth it. My doctor fixed my Hiatal Hernia while he was in the procedure so luckily I do not get heart burn or anything anymore. When you wake up from surgery, your mainly sore where the "main" spot was. Where the ripped the bottom of your stomach out. Still hurts even now. Feels like your socked in the stomach. It will pass. Now that I am starting to see results, (18 lbs in 6 days) down it's totally worth it! Hope this helps! Also get gasx strips they will be your life saver!!! ddc4dddc4dddc4dddc4dddcaaddcaaddcaaddcaa

Couldn't stand that test!!! Everything makes me gag, medicine, juice, nothing I can keep down....but I guess the more I drink the more I keep down.....just need to keep at it....

I thought a long time about going to Mexico but my regular doctor and husband didn't want me to. My regular doctor said that he didn't think my insurance would cover me back in the US if anything went wrong, I am going the self-pay route as it is.

and after doing some reserching on it, didn't seem like I would be saving that much money.

If I didn't know several people that have had their surgery done by Dr. Garcia I would not have even considered it. Everyone I know that has had it done in Tijuana have had nothing but wonderful reviews. My husband asked his dr./friend what he thought of the surgery and having it done in Tijuana and he said he has numerous friends as well as doctors who have had it done down there. He highly recommended it. Even with the cost of the surgery and airline tickets it is still less than 1/2 of what I would have paid here.

I'm new and mine is in July 22 in Mexico

We just booked my daughter's surgery with dr Aceves in Mexico. I am having my surgery in US because I was approved by ins. My daughter was not approved. After my research I believe this dr is just as capable as any here in the US. I am very comfortable with her going there for the procedure.

Anyone from new jersey? I am having my surgery (gastric bypass ) next Thursday June 26

Who is doing your surgery? Mine is August 20 with Dr. Garcia.

Mine was done by Dr. Alberto Michel in Tijuana, the cost included 3 days in the hospital until I was cleared, I have had no complications at all so far, have lost 24lbs I'm on day 10 AGS. I'm so happy with the Doctors and the way they all make me feel in the clinic, great attentions. I live in Tijuana so it was my option to have it done here.

If we had known a few people personally that had it done in Mexico maybe that would have made a difference, we don't know of even one person that had done much less in Mexico.

I'm a newbie as well! My surgery is in exactly two weeks. July 1st. A bit nervous, but excited too.

Getting my date after my last appointment on July 1st

I know every surgeon is different and requires different test, but what are the basic test you have to do besides blood test & EKG?
