My friend and I both went for Surgery in December of last year. It was an AMAZING experience. I even went back for my first fill because the team there made me feel very well supported. Do you have any specific questions I can answer for you?

I was banded by Dr. Kuri in Mexico. It was a great experience. They take care of everything, including picking you up at the air port or the border. The hospital was beautiful and very clean. The staff was excellent. I feel like I was treated better there, than I have ever been treated here in the states.

My surgery package was around $7500 but I am not sure what the current rate is. Let me know if you need more info.

My insurance would not cover surgery either. My scheduled was scheduled and set up through Med to Go International and my surgery was performed by Dr. Lopez Corvala at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana. Everything went very well. They picked me up from the airport in San Diego and took us to Tijuana. The hospital was new and modern. Very clean!!! The staff was nice and friendly and everyone was extremely helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. Send me a PM.

I am scheduled to be banded by Dr. Corvala on 6/29/10 at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana. I know that his current price is $5995.00, however mine is more expensive ($7,000) because I am having revisional surgery (lapband over previous gastric bypass). Both prices include pickup at the San Diego Airport, 2 nights in the hospital, drop off back at the aiport and all doctors fees. The only thing not included is your prescription for pain meds/anti-biotics which you pick up at the pharmacy before you leave. Hopefully I can give you more insight after the surgery. Good Luck on your search! :(

      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.
