I have made arrangements with a Dr. in Vancouver that works out of St. Paul's Hospital. What province do you live in?

I am surprised your surgeon in Mexico didn't offer possible fill doctors. My surgeon requires a post-op Dr. prior to surgery.

Best of luck to you!

To all of you considering the lap band in Mexico, be sure to find a doctor near you that is willing to do your fills and take care of you before surgery. Very often surgeons won't touch a patient who's been banded in Mexico and they return home with no one to do their fills.

Not always true Ms73, I was banded in Mexico in March and have found three in AB, I use the one in Calgary..I would not have changed a thing!

Lannae, I'm from alberta. What are the names of the 3 dr.'s in the province. I called two in Calgary, that online said they do Mexico fills, and both of their offices said they won't do fills for surgeries done there. I'm planning on having mine done in February and would like to have a fill dr. lined up first.

      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.
