May 8. I do feel better using a doctor in mexico though they seem more experienced. Are You Going To Dr Maytorena?

Yes, I am going to Dr. M. Mr. Ruben needs to get me my work papers or I'll have to wait longer....grrrrr

Thanks Lisa for the update!

Please keep us posted.

I just had my sleeve done with Dr M last night. I am still at the surgery center, feeling amazing! No pain except for some gas. I should be heading to the recovery house soon, then flying home to NY tomorrow night.

Ruben, Dr M, and all the staff here are very friendly, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Did you have to do a pre-op diet?

I just returned from Tijuana after being sleeved by Dr. Maytorena. I am tired as I literally just got home but I will make it a point to provide an update of how my surgery went.

i noticed that you were still or seemed undecided in the first week of March on your choice of Doctor. Where you having doubts are choose doctor M. At the last minute

I am a huge researcher and made my decision rather quickly but had been researching many surgeons during my process.  Dr. M was fabulous and I am pretty much healed up.  No pain and weight is coming off.  I have been working since a week post op with no issues whatsoever.

I was sleeved by Dr Maytorena @ Longtermvsg 2 weeks ago. I have no regrets, no issues! I recommend them highly! Great care by all on their staff

I am getting sleeved by Dr. M on May 11. Getting nervous.

I have decided to go with Dr Arellano and will be scheduling with him the beginning of May. I am excited He is a leader in bariatric surgery and has over 15yrs experience. I am excited he has done over 1000 surgeries and I think worked with Dr Aceves. Im excited an know with all his years of experience I will be ok because I was getting freaked out about possible complications. But im going through ltvsg (long term vsg). I know @@Chrissyg had the surgery with them and all seemed well but with Dr Jorge Maytorena. Any input comments or people who know of them would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Aliyah,

I applied for surgery with long term vsg last week. I've read really good things about Dr. Arellano and Dr. Maytorena. I am planning on having my sleeve at the end of June. The reviews are great and the price is just unbelievable. Share your experience and good luck!!

Hello,

I am new here, and I would like to start a topic on long term vsg in Tijuana for support. I just scheduled my surgery for June. I am nervous and excited at the same time. If you have or will have your surgery with them, please share your story! I am traveling from Phoenix Arizona! :)

Yes the reviews are great and so is the price because the facility is so mall, you won't stay at a hotel. They have very very low complication rate also no deaths so that another plus.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
