I've seen lots of posts on Dr. Corvala too. He has some great reviews. My consultation is in 15 min with Dr A... and I'm asking every question possible! I'll post an update soon.

Ask about the gastroplication, it seems to be an alternative to the gastric sleeve. I may look into that one myself. Let me know how your consult goes :-) and good luck :-)

I'm from CT and because of my work schedule I don't want an extended stay. 3 days sounds great, 4 at the most. After the leak tested are completed I'll be more than ready to get back to work.

I'm confident Dr A can make that happen. My consultation went very well yesterday. Dr A knows his stuff. He reassured me (and my sister lol) that he would take care of me and as my surgeon make the best decision for me between bypass and sleeve. He even explained the mini gastric bypass to me as well so I can look into it and make an informed decision. Very knowledgeable and very nice. I'm ready to schedule at a few more questions.

Dr Altamirano did my surgery in Tijuana, Mexico on August 13, 2015. He did a wonderful job. I had complications after surgery due fact that anesthesia makes me sick to my stomach. Dr Altamirano was very concerned, he kept me in the hospital longer than most. And when he was sure I was ok he gave me a ride to the recovery house in his own car do that I didn't have to wait for Robert to return.

My email is drdanafitzgerald@gmail.com  He can email me there.

 

Thank you,

Thank you David, what do I need to do to start the process? I have already completed pre-op doctor appointments here in the US. I was working towards having bariatric surgery in the US. However, my insurance company will not approve me even though my BMI is 57 or higher.

I look forward to seeing what Mexico has to offer.

Thank you

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
