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.

Can someone forward this email to David Lopez for me please? When I try to email him I get a delivery failure notice.

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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
