Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Hello,

I’m new here and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Gina and I’m in process of securing a date with a Dr in Tijuana for VSG. I’m trying to do my due diligence in researching, but it’s been hard. I had a patient care coordinator scare me from using one facility and now I’m back to square one in my search. I do know my date will be 7/12/18 as that’s when I have the time to go to MX.

A little about me; 5’5, always been big girl, yo yo dieted most my life, worked out most my life & now that I’m almost 40 the weight just won't stop adding up. I’m over it and know the VSG will be the right tool for me.

Anyone looking at Pompeii Medical, Mexico Bariatrics or BariatriPal? Maybe we can meet in MX.

Nice to meet you Gina. It took me about a year of looking into VSG before I finally too the plunge. It's a bit of work but well worth it in the end. Good luck on your journey.

Welcome, Gina! This is a very friendly and supportive community. Feel free to dive right in! There are quite a few people here that had surgery in Mexico. I'm sure they'll offer you some advice. There have been many threads about surgery in Mexico. To search the entire site (rather than each thread individually) go to "home" and then type Mexico in the search bar.

I had my surgery in Tijuana Mexico 8 days ago with Dr. Jorge Green Solis and my experience was amazing and I feel good, no pain and loving my sleeve!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
