Rocky1 now I'm not saying that Tijuana Bariatrics is a bad company at all. I just figured if I have a question / concern that I would be emailed back with answers. Please refrain from replying to any of my posts. I am not on here for bullsh*t. I'm on here like everyone else, for advice! Going back and forth is so elementary. I'm grown. I don't have time for all that. I'm not trying to be pushy and sound snobbish or do I want to deal with people who portray their self that way. Thank you but no thank you :)

@@lorenas331, not yet. I've decided to do more research on Dr. Zavalza. I see they also perform their surgeries at the Florence Hospital in Tijuana Mexico and they have a doctor who does the dental implants. I'm waiting to here back from them with a quote on the dental implants. Dr, Zavalza charges the same as Dr, Garcia. Which is still great. I'm trying to get two things done around the same time. One week/7 days is all I'll have off of work. ((I got billzzzz)) :) :)

@@kimmorgan no I don't. I'm not really into Facebook. I received the email with the forms to fill out and send back. I'll be doing that first thing this morning when I get off. :) I should be getting a quote for the dental implants surgery this week as well.

I would NEVER have a dental procedure at the same time as another major surgery. Any dental procedure or oral surgery tends to release bacteria into the bloodstream and you don't want that bacteria seeding your surgical site. In fact, in the US, depending on the type of surgery, they advise against any dental work for 6 months postop. Of course you can take antibiotics, but it was the antibiotics I was given for a tooth root abscess that caused my C. diff infection 2 months post VSG. Not a fun experience.

      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! 😞
