VSG on 10/01/10 with
On Oct 1st I finally had my VSG with Dr. Pompa in Tijuana, Mexico. I arrived at the San Diego Airport and was picked up by a very nice driver. He was bilingual. He took me directly to the GrandHotel.  After I had time to check in and take my stuff to my room, a very friendly Doctor came to the Hotel and we walked inside the building to another elevator which took us to the clinic.
I was impressed when I came in, it is beautiful!!!!!. I met and talked with Dr. Pompa. After all my lab tests were done and an internist and cardiologist saw me and gave me the ok I returned to the Hotel to relax until the next morning SURGERY DAY.
I went to the surgical center early in the morning and they got me ready for surgery. The staff are amazing, all of them were very nice to me. My surgery went very well, I had normal discomfort, but had a doctor with me all the time! The Dr. did the leakage test and you can see the tiny size of your sleeve when you drink that yucky liquid. They gave me a copy of my x-rays and went to the hotel again. I just returned the next day to get checked by Dr. Pompa. aaahhhhh everything was fine!!!!
My decision to undergo VSG was difficult but the best one I've made in my life. It's been only 6 days, i'm back home and still on my clear liquids diet. I'm feeling excited to start a new life, a better one!!!
