Considering Mexico For Gastric Sleeve



Recommended Posts

I am going in August to Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. The Obesity Control Center. Amazing reviews with top of the notch certifications, etc. I've heard nothing but amazing stories about this place. I have a friend who just returned home from her surgery there.




My husband has him do his sleeve. Worked great!

I spoke with my Dr about the insurance coverage and they verified that my insurance does cover WLS, so I will be trying the insurance route. My wife on the other hand says she doesn't want to have to deal with all the hoops and wants to go to MX. She is scheduled for Sep. 11..already booked the plane tickets. Hopefully I'll have already completed my surgery and be the skinny(ish) sexy man that she deserves to escort her.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
