Topic: RE: (Long) Back home! My experience with Dr. Lopez at Vida w/ pix!

Hello,

Do you mind sharing the new direct number to Dr. Lopez or the email address.  I as well booked through SB and since have made my deposit as well as scheduled my surgery date for March 16th. Please and thank you. My date is further out but I would like to make sure everything is ok. Thanks if you can!

Topic: RE: Not taking my cell phone

I found out that you can call Canada from Mexico with the hangout app. I am also finding Skype to be great as well. Just wanted to update in case others are reading this.

Topic: RE: Too Old too sick too scared?

My wife and I went to the Mexicali Bariatric Center (they advertise on this site) and it was GREAT! I'd have it done again there in a heartbeat.

I'm only 45 but there was a woman who got there one day after we did who was diabetic and in her 60's.

I'd give them a call and see what they say.

Topic: RE: Too Old too sick too scared?

I have been nothing but pleased with'y WLS. I too lost weight many times,but could not keep it off.

i have lost 118# and have kept it off for 4-5 years. 

I was really more scared of what I knew diabetes was going to eventually do to me. Loss of my legs and inch at a time,kidneys burned out then dialysis and blindness from retinas being burned out.

i knew I did not want to live like that. Wls was the. Lesser of the two evils for me. 

Dr. Ungson is older than the doctor your other poster mentioned and therefore has more experience.

Thank you for your reassuring words. I know I am killing myself with all this weight.  I have tried every diet known to man and I have the piles of diet books to prove it.  I have lost 100 lbs. twice in my life and only ended up gaining it all back plus some.  You are right the temporary fear regarding the surgery could stop me from doing the best thing I could ever do for myself. Thanks again.

Exactly!! I am not trying to hear anybody's opinion. Plus, my weight has yo-yo'd over the years, ppl are used to seeing me going up and down should not be a shock. Hopefully this time the difference is... it says off!! ;D

Ohhh 5 days clear?? I only had to do 2 days. It does suck- but it will fly by with the excitement of being in SD and getting ready for MX! :)
