Considering VSG in Mex..any suggestions?
I am new here but have done a lot of research on bariatric surgeries and found that all surgeries have their pros and cons. But they all require a person to be willing to do what is needed to make them work also. It would make no sense for a person that connot control their carb cravings to have a VSG and think they will lose all the weight they want. My advice is only from what family and friends have done and not myself yet. Bu****ching several people have all of the procedures available made only one thing certain... all obese people should! Even if you only lose half of your goal weight it still is better than nothing. I have never seen a person not lose anything from the surgery but I have seen people lose less. I think we get what we ask for and if you try your all at it then it can't go wrong.
I had the VSG and have been thrilled with it so far. I was what you might call a volume eater. I could eat and eat and eat and never really feel full. The VSG is exactly what I needed to finally eat a normal size portion of food and feel comfortably full.
I agree with Cougar in Training as well ...there really is no way to go wrong when you are doing it to better your health.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

I know of and personally know almost all the surgeons in Mexico. As I'm sure you can guess from my sig that I am "in the business". Dr. Alvarez is pretty much the "Sleeve God". He has probably done more sleeves than any other doc in Mexico! He speaks at a lot of bariatric events and has written about his experiences with his techniques. I'm sure you will be happy with him.
Good luck!
