Going to Tijuana, anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Bariatric Pal no longer associates or recommends him.

It makes me sad and also a bit nervous.

I booked a private car to pick me up and bring me to the hospital. I want my trip to be a comfortable as possible.

I'm scheduled for July 28th with Dr. Ortiz @ OCC

How did your surgery go with Dr. Ortiz? I have been researching him in case my insurance does pay then I will use him. Did you like him? Did they treat you well? Hope all is well

@@nursey 46 My pain was well managed by what I was given. My pain level was very low by the time I flew home. If your pain is not under control just talk to them and I'm sure they will address it.

I went with Dr. ponce de leon thru Bariatric Pal. He worked out of INT Hospital where he is part owner. Exemplary care and immaculately clean hospital. Hit me up if you have any other questions.

I met Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Martinez is who did the surgery on 3rd of July. Dr. Ortiz is a goofball, but knows his medicine. Dr. Martinez did an awesome job, not much bruising and my incisions do not hurt. Of course they were sore at first, but after the 4th day not much. Dr. Martinez is Dr. Ortiz's right hand man. They have a sense of humor, great bedside manner and answers all questions you may have. Trust me...I was just as scared as you are...but I am glad I got it done. Recovery for me has been a little rough because I did not have heartburn before the surgery, but boy did I have it after. That is normal though..!

@@michelledom, I never heard of Baja med. There are so many to choose from. I chose Dr, Fernando Garcia Govea because I did a lot of research on him to find anything good or bad and only find positive things. His price is great also. I'm paying only $4250.00 plus $500 for my gallbladder to be removed. Next year I'm going to have a full hysterectomy at hospital Angeles in mexico.

      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
