Any recent Juarez, Mexico banding experiences?



Recommended Posts

I'm new to the site and trying to research info on recent experiences from Juarez, Mexico. I've inquired and received info from the Beliteweight group, but would like to hear some recent actual experiences. Thank you for any input you can provide.

I am not want to say anthing about the Dr there. But my family lives in Mexico and Juarez if a very dangerious place. I am in Texas and the deaths and danger down there is horrible. I am not saying don't go to Mexico just pick another town away from Juarez. Sorry just had to warn you. Look it up on the internet about the danger and hundres of death and missing people. It is all with the drugs and gangs If you do go please do not go alone.

I agree with Cheri on Juarez.

Also, make sure that you do a ton of research on whatever surgeon you do choose. The courts here can't hold foreign surgeons accountable for any discrepancies that occur.

Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana get great reviews here while Dr. Huacuz has been depicted as an incompetent butcher.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
