<p>Hi guys im back & hope you all see this message! im not very familliar with the ins & outs of the site just yet.... 1st thing 1st is i am hungry ass hell I have only consumed like no more than 100 calories in the last 56 hours..... but I have nothing but positivity to rain down ​my bariatric family. 1st I was wondering if someone could tell me how to start my own forum in the Bariatric Pal website? I want to create a room or passage/forum specifically for sleevers getting done in mexico!!!! ok, I'm going to tell you guys what has happened thus far& thank you for your prayers and concerns, they really meant a lot to me!!! well as planned the driver came and picked me up from my San Diego hotel, with 2 other sleevers getting done the same day also, took us across the border and to the facility Hospital Guadalara, there I met my patient coordinator whom I had been sending my monies to and whom I had most of the contact wirh ove the last couple of months, I was surprised the facility was clean modern and the staff was exceptionally kind and knowledge , blood test came back fine & after my test results, seem like the staff kicke in to 5th gear, b4 I knew it I was in recovery safe sound and hungry!!! love you guys ill gv a more detailed description later, I'm tired an pain meds are weighing in!!!</p>

Awesome so glad Gucci all went well. I am not sure how to start a forum but so glad to see your post & all went well. Stay positive & you will do awesome. I think it is great idea about your forum cause it will help comfort others & all for that.

Well its my Surgery Eve and im sittng in my hotel room in San Diego wondering why i cant find much about my surgeon on Bariatric Pal. His name is Luis Cervantes my procedure is @ Hospital Guadalajara in Tijuana Mexico tomorro 12/15 @ 1pm , after blood work, ekg, etc, All of his review are on his website, which I'm not 100% confident with because I am a website owner and reviews can be manipulated! Im doing this all alone, no support team, except back home in Dallas tx where they all disagreed with me going to Mexico to do this procedure. I was sucessful with stopping smokiing 2 weeks before surgery but have not been sucessfull with the 2wk liquid diet, i thought the latter would have been easier, but not! I never gave up i did the liquid diet best i could on the road because my profession requires much travel in which the gain balloned... none the less ive read many success stories about patients goin to mexico and a few horror stories. But I'm mainly wanting more info on the doctor Luis Cervantes of Guadalajara Tijuana Mexico I booked him through a site called Mexico Bariatrics, In which I went through a patient coordinator. I also want to know what are the risks besides Fatty liver if you don't strictly follow the liquid diet? I am a self pay patient so I guess aint no turning back now, thank you!

I'm scheduled with him in March! How are you doing now? I'm nervous but I verified his credentials.

I don't know how this all works but I would like to follow your progress.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
