Recommended Posts

@@taken_chances19 Hi - Im going to Cabrera at Mi hospital - Mexico Bariatric Center... and who are you going to? and you should go to the blog - August Sleevers Check In - everyone on this forum that is having an August Surgery is logging in there - and getting on a calendar. So there are four of us now having surgery on the same day. http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/312687-august-sleevers-check-in/page-58

Hi! So I have scheduled my sleeve surgery for October 2014 at the OCC with Dr. Ortiz! I'm excited and really nervous! I want to make sure I come prepared.. So, what did you bring with you to Mexico? Anything you wish you'd taken? Anything not to take (I tend to be an over-packer)?

My surgery is in Oct too. What day is yours booked for?

I have my surgery scheduled on August 24, 2014 with Dr. Elias Ortiz. I'm going through A Lighter Me. Thank you for posting this as the suggestions do enhance the information that was available to me in my client package.

Keep the packing light. You will be handling your own luggage on the way home, so keep it light for lifting. Keep it simple and downsize where you can.

It was also recommended to take $1 US bills for tipping and such. I plan to enjoy a little shopping while there, so will have some small denomination cash for taxis, too.

Your profile does not say where you live. I am coming from Calgary, Alberta, Canada

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
