Sorry I have not been talking to much on my Blog so here goes.
The first too weeks where a little hard from the liquid pre op diet for the first few days but it got better.
About 3 days after the pre op I was hungry but I keep telling my self that I was full, about a week out I got the hang of it so it is not as bad as people put it out to be. I was a self pay patient and had my surgery in Mexico Tijuana with Dr.Sergio Quinones he is so sweet and his staff as well.
They treated me like I was family of their own so that was sweet. The facility is very clean,peaceful and relaxing. I had surgery and had a little pain from the gas that was in my body but that is very normal for most patients. I had surgery on November 28, I feel great.
I decided to go with my surgeon for the credentials that he has and experience. I think that if any body is wanting surgery you should definitely check him out and the experience that he has.
I'm scheduled for Feb 19th! Along with my fiancé!
What clinic are you using?
I'm sorry, I can't. I am using Dr. Joya on Friday, and I'm not sure how it will go, but I promise I will let you know if it goes bad. Good luck to you on your journey!
Congratulations!! I'm so glad ur OK. Your post was helpful bto me. Maybe I'll go to the store and get that ice cream. Today was my first day of the liquid diet...I did good until tonight. I feel very depressed and scared, but I logged in to read your post, and I'm so glad I did. I can't wait to see your update, and some before and after pictures later!!
I had my original WLS - sleeve - with Dr Kelly in 2007 and it was a great experience. He is very qualified, has wonderful staff, and I had no issues at all. Dr. Kelly has done work in the US on transplant teams and trauma teams so you can be assured he's very skilled and has a lot of experience. Good luck!

Hey guys,
I'm new around here.. Planning on Mexico for VSG. I have came across Dr. Gonzalez and his credentials seem great, however it is always better to have some support from people that have actually used the man. Can anyone give me any RECENT reviews of him, the facility. It would be much appreciated!
Still good to hear. I'm 3 days away for surgery, and nerve**** me a few days ago. I'm glad to hear you heard nothing but good things xD
I'm getting my surgery in Tijuana, and my mom was pretty happy she was able to get a room in the upper floors of the hospital instead of the hotel for the nights I was there.
I'm not sure of your exact situation, but a Dr may be more willing to see you back home if you sign some sort of agreement that basically means "nothing is/ will be their fault" due to another doctors surgery and how they treat you. That's what my family doctor told me anyways. Surgery in 3 days!
Ok I'm back - and still alive and everything, with my brand new gastric sleeve!
I'll post more in detail but wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes :) and juarez was the way to go for this. I'm really glad I did this and did this here.
