I decided to create this thread for all June and July sleevers who are getting VSG in Mexico. This would be a place where we can share our thoughts and experiences as we go through this journey.

Please state your starting weight,...... your surgeons name........... and when you will be having surgery. Keep in mind that we need to be respectful of each person's opinion and their surgeons. All experiences will be welcomed!!!!

@@KQH I'll be three weeks after you! Soooo excited! How are you doing on your liquid diet?

Tha'ts what i did, and i'm discussing with Omar, i've already booked 22nd of july as my re-birth day !

Sosola, you and my daughter will have surgery the same day with Dr. Illan. Omar said a third is scheduled who is from Mexico. We look forward to meeting you! We booked our airline tickets today. Are you coming with a companion?

Countdown begins for both of you. Mine was done here in the states on the 17th of June, so I am already on the other side of my new life. You both have nothing to worry about. It will all go well!

@@CandyPants81, doing great! I'd still like a large pizza but not as badly as I thought

I thought we were more than that because i've already met like 3 other persons on the facebook group that are booked for 22nd july (unless you're there too), it is good we can follow each other on this long way to our new lives!

Interesting.... No, I am not on Facebook. Never used it.

Omar promised me only 3 that day. Can you confirm with others that it is definite date for them?

Hey, July 1 sleevers! Our new life starts ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!! TJ and Dr. Q, here I come

woohoo!!! Puerto vallarta... Dr. Joya... I'm so ready

@jjinWA

actually, for such surgery, the doctor can make 5 or 6 patient a day, it is no a big deal at all,

I'm a nurse, and i know that surgeons don't do surgery everyday, maybe 2 or 3 days in a week , so they gater patients,

other days are for consultation,training, conference, teaching etc....

July 5th, Dr. Corvala...i'm getting nervous now, not ready AT ALL :/

Hi I'm banded for two days now. No pain and doing great. I'm back home in the USA in Washington and feeling fine. The trip to Mexico was great, I was well taken care of and. I problems. The nurses were excellent and I am going to miss my massages after surgery. I am down 20 lbs so far and fill full and tired. Take care and keep in touch

Hi there,

You will be just fine and in great hands. I was only. 36 hours post op before I got to come home due to my busy life. I am doing great only 5 days post op. I am drinking just fine and not a lot if pain. Make sure you walk off the gas pains and sip sip slowly. I wish you the best luck on your new journey as mine is just beginning.

I had dr corvola and his amazing staff. Give my best wishes in room 304 and to all nurses and massage therapist.

My two fav nurses were a lady who wore glasses that were whitish color and the other she wore bright colorful lipstick.

Let me know if you need anything. Keep in touch.
