Flying out to Mexico for Surgery 8/14/10 and......



Recommended Posts

I have not been stressing this whole procedure. I fly out tomorrow morning from Florida to Mexico and I have not even really thought about the whole surgery is this normal? I have not been worried, or concerned, and been very passive about this. I think my friends and family are more worried then I am. Not just because I am going to Mexico but because I am having the Band done. To everyone that just had surgery in the last few days just wanted to say I hope you are all okay and feeling well. God Bless!

I'm going to Mexico on Aug 26th and no i'm not nervous about it either. I did a lot of research on my Doctor and the hospital that I'll be at i am nervous about the surgery in general but not about going to Mexico. I mean what makes Mexico much different then any other forgein county?? i dont hear bad things about Austrailia or where ever other people have got their surgeries done so what ever i'm going to Mexico and am gonna do just fine...

I do not think you need to worry about the Doctors or the hospital. But my Husband is from Mexico and it has changed so much in the last few years. You just need to be careful of your surrounding and do not be to trusting of people you do not know. Good luck girls!

      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.
