Anyone having surgery in April 2016 in Tijuana Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Hi! First-time poster here. I have an appointment with the bank tomorrow. If my loan gets approved, I'm getting a VSG with Dr. Ariel Ortiz, from the Obesity Control Center. Spoke with him on the phone yesterday, seems like a great guy; his credentials are very impressive too.

I really hope I get approved. I'm terrified!

I'm going with Dr. Pasten in Tijuana on 4/15/16. He works out of Green & Health Hospital. I don't have FB yet but I plan to sign up this weekend just so that I can communicate with other sleevers. I want to document my experience from start to finish! [emoji4]

I'm having my surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz on March 24th. I have researched, asked questions, and researched some more and I feel very comfortable with my decision to go with Obesity Control Center. I hope your loan comes through! Such an exciting step. I would be happy to tell you all about my experience once I have the surgery!. :) Jamielogic had surgery with OCC and she was very helpful in giving me info. Us sleevers gotta stick together!

hey guys... started an April Sleevers group on Facebook. It's a secret group which means no one can find it except for members. Translation... it's a safe place. Since we're all having surgery April 2016, this group was created so we can stay in touch throughout our journey. We can compare notes, share stories and give each other tips .... or just an encouraging word.

Anyway...if you're an april sleever and would like to be added to the group, just send me your email and I'll send you an invite.

How did it go?? My surgery is 4/6. I'm getting nervous - was not nervous prior to this. Not sure why I'm nervous now! Hoping you've had a good experience :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
