Hey anyone here from SLC? Do you have a family doctor you recommend to see you after surgery? That's the last thing standing in my way to get my sleeve done in Mexico. Please help! Thank you in advanced!

So I've been MIA from BP, I wanted to know how everyone is doing especially cause we all are from UT. I had my surgery on March 2, 2016. Everything went perfectly, I was so pleased. I started my Pre-Pre-Op diet on Jan 15,2016. I'm down 82 lbs since then. I'm loving life and excited for all the new things I'm doing. I workout 5-6 times a week.. Please let me know how you all are doing..

@@UtahChica congratulations! You look great! I'm glad everything went so well. Did you have bypass or sleeve?

@@UtahChica glad you are doing great! I had my surgery April 8th with Dr Zavalza. I am down 40 pounds and feel great. This surgery was not anywhere as difficult as I thought it would be. I had almost zero pain and recovery was a cinch. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Dr Embley at Eagle Mountain clinic has been great with me! Far if you're in SLC but he is really good.

@@Steph~L~16 I had the Sleeve done and thank you so much for your nice comments.

@@Musicdebbie I had my surgery with Tijuana Bariatric and Dr. Fernando Garcia did the surgery. I'd wish I had done this a long time ago.

@@kyleegirl01, thank you for letting me know on your doctor you are very kind.

I'd love to meet up with other sleevers in our area if you are interested. I had another friend who also had the surgery a week or so ago and her experience wasn't the best. I'm trying to be there for moral support.

I also have a IG account if you are interested, I'm kind of weird and haven't shared it publicly with a lot of people. Just very close friends and some family.

I have yet to publicly share the info as well. I'm not opposed at all to getting together. Maybe we could all go geocaching? Get us outdoors and moving.

@@kyleegirl01 I've never been geocaching, but love the being outdoors. We should plan something soon.

Hi there

I am from SLC and excited to see so many Utahans commenting here. I will be going to Mexico too and am telling my pcp today, I think. I would lice to meet up but can't go geocaching as I hurt my leg. Anyway, would love to see how you are all doing. Hope to get to my operation b4 December.

OMG!! I'm sorry I don't get on BP very much. I have an IG if anyone wants to see my progress or communicate. I'd love to see others progress and positive motivations too. My IG is under VegMex_VSG
