ARE THERE ANY SLEEVER'S WHO WENT WITH DR GABRIEL ROSALES IN MEXICO?



Recommended Posts

Have any of you went to or are going to have gastric sleeve surgery done with Dr Gabriel Rosales in Mexico? I ask because i have been doing research on him and its hard to find anything negative and a very few positives that are all linked to his Obesity Free website. Thank you all :)

I did not run into his name in my research, I went to Mexico for my band removal and sleeve surgery and researched doctors and hospital for a while before deciding. I chose my surgeon because of his ability to do the procedure in one surgery, it speaks of his skill and experience. I am very happy and extremely impressed with the quality of the care I got, the hospital was impeccable and the doctors attentive and professional.

Haven't heard of him either. I am going to Mexico in January and have narrowed my decision down to Dr. Fernando Garcia and Elias Ortiz. They are both good from what I've heard and reviews read.

Yes I have read great reviews about the two Doctors you've named too. Its so difficult for me to choose. There are so many great doctors.

I am leaning more towards Elias Ortiz, I've heard more good things about him that the others. I'm considering Jan. 2015.

Ingrid007 I've heard nothing but great things about Dr Elias Ortiz too. I'm still in the researching stages though. I plan on getting the gastric sleeve surgery in February 2015. :)

I know this is a really old thread, but if any of you are still active, who did you choose and how was your experience? When did you have it done, and how are you dealing with it now?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
