Mine is tentatively on the 26th of this month. The info I have is from people I know personally. I did request information on here but not to much avail. What made me choose my doctor is his experience, reviews by people that I know, his staple procedure....triple staples and sew over to prevent leakage, and the fact that he does 3 leak checks. Those things are very important to me. He also doesn't do a ton of surgeries each day. I hope that helps you out a bit.

Hi everyone. It is almost time for me to start my pre-op diet and I am indecisive on what Protein shakes/powder I want to buy. I have been provided information but would like to hear what others are using. Also, I would like to possibly get one that could work pre-op and post-op. Your insight is greatly appreciated.

I have never thought about doing my own flavoring. That's another fantastic idea. Thank you

Hi everyone. Is there anyone that will be staying at the Hotel Pueblo Amigo around February 26th? I have my surgery that day and am unsure if I will make the trip the day before or the day of surgery especially since I am going alone. I don't have to fly in as Tijuana is 2 hours and 40 minutes from my house. I'm just going to be parking near the border and being picked up. I am going with Medical Tourism Company. I'd love a sleeve buddy.

Thanks y'all for all of the great advice. I'm willing to try it all to avoid any hiccups after the surgery. I am not a shopper so the less of that I have to do the better. I'm 11 days until my surgery and am an over-preparer. I start my pre-op diet on Thursday. I am not dreading it at all. It is my new start and one I have longed for all too long.

Thank you and that is a great idea. I'm going to check out the sample idea for sure.

Thank you so much. I have tried that one before and it never really dawned on me until now. I haven't tried Atkins but will definitely look into it. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for this info. I am sure that I will also lose slowly because I have no metabolism due to thyroid issues. I am okay with losing slowly, I just want to lose. My weight fluctuates often due to being hypothyroid always going up and never down. LOL I have to buy a scales....I am reluctant to do so but my surgeon requires weekly updates. I think through all of this journey that will be the thing I am going to hate. Scales have been my biggest enemy for years. I expect I'll even have major anxiety while buying it. Now that I am 11 days before my surgery date, I have to get prepared for my trip. I have never been to Mexico but it can't be too bad. I survived El Salvador 2 times so I am sure going to Mexico will be a easy feat. Anywho I am just rambling but I do appreciate your response and guidance.

Hi Sleeve101. I am going through Medical Tourism and they are using Clinica San Juan. Can you share with me a bit more about the experience of it all? I would greatly appreciate it.

You are so right. I am the queen of research and feel 100% sure that my choice is the best one for me. Have you adjusted well to your sleeve? Any words of advice?

Thank you so much for your kind welcome. I am looking forward to sharing each and every detail y'all.

Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate you responding.

Hi everyone. I am new to the site but have definitely been following the post on here for some time. I am scheduled to be sleeved with Dr. Francisco Gonzalez in Tijuana on February 26th.
