I had it dec. 13th. Todo bien! Went perfectly, Hospital Vivian Pellas was tops, Dr. Turcio was very good and had two sugeons assist as well as the top anesthiologist in the country. He and his surgeons even made 3 follow up visits at the house!

The surgery was easy and recovery is pain free. Was walking 2 miles week after.

I would recommend this as an affordable option. Surgeon charged $3,500 for him and other two docs, hospital was $4,500 with anesthesiologist. Follow up visits included.

We stayed in Las Colinas neghborhood across from hospital. Very convenient.

Ms. Pellas was there on our floor in her own suite.

Hola. Yo soy todo bien y cinco dias desde cirugia. Me gusta Nicaragua!

Todo cosas mejor con tiempo y un poco trabajo.

You can tell I'm a gringo by my Spanish, can't you? ;>)

Really, it went very well and I am please with such a good medical team I had. I stayed in Las Colinas neighborhood, right across from the hospital. It's one of the nicest neighborhoods in Managua. Walked a mile or two a day and felt pretty good. Christmas was FELIZ!

Saludos, mi amigos.

Mitch

I am 52, so just goes to prove anyone can get good results with this surgery, although I was on the low side on BMI. I got some exercise a year or so pre-surgery which helped, but it doesn't have to be more than walking or walk-running.

Hey, Stacy. I had lunch with our IT person this past Monday who is also a gastric bypass graduate. She is doing great, and has lost 80 lbs in about 6 or 8 months in 2014. I hope yours goes well, too.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
