Thank you for this question!! I was going through the posts to try to find it so I didn't duplicate the question myself. I do NOT use artificial sweeteners under any circumstance due to the fact that they trigger bad migraines for me. I need to figure out how to do this post-op without anything except what's in the protein powder. It seems like the whole list is nothing but artificially sweetened stuff... Sugar free jello, sugar free Popsicles etc.

Rocky1 Check this out! I was searching for Dr. Joya like you recommended and it looks like Dr. Hidalgo is affiliated with him! http://www.drjoya.com/bariatric-doctors-in-mexico-weight-loss-doctors-in-mexico-weight-loss-surgery-in-mexico.html YAY!!!

Well I admire your diligence and willingness to share your knowledge with others. Happy St. Patrick's day to you too

I can't tell you how thankful I am to have come across your post!!! You are wonderful!! Thank you so very much!

Rocky1, Do you mind if I ask who you decided on? You seem very knowledgeable about the topic.

Hi Samw, Thank you so much for the reply. I am encouraged by what I have seen and heard about Dr. Hidalogo. Do you pay for your food/ nutritional needs (because it's really not much in the way of food) at the hotel or is that part of the package? Did you pack your favorite protein powder or other stuff or just rely on what they had available? Was there a telephone available for you to use? Also, in terms of pre-op forms and paperwork; is it all in Spanish? It freaks me out to sign away my rights and not even know what it says!! Lol! I am considering one other Dr. In PVR- Dr. Castaneda. He operates at the same hospital and is at least $1000 more in cost (which is not a concern for me at this point) I just want the best experience!! Did you happen to look at him too? I wonder if it is higher because of the Medical Tourism corp. taking a cut? Thanks again for taking the time to help me! Christine

Hi, can you give me some more info about this Dr. and the process. I am interested as well about how the hotel compared to the pictures? Was it really nice? everything you expected? luxurious? I really want this part of things to be the least of my worries and don't want to be disappointed with the hotel and I'm kind of a brat about stuff like that.

CMQ Premiere Hospital/Dr. Castaneda is so far my first choice. Anyone have any experience with him or this hospital?

Thinking of you and wanting to check in. Hope you are well.
