Hello I have not heard of the Dr. I'm scheduled for Feb 26th with Jacqueline Osana in TJ. I'm having second thought. so many people say bad and good stuff about TJ. How do we know we can trust the driver that picks us up from San Diego and take us across the border. Where we know not where we're going. My heart says go and JUST DO IT. How do you get past the fear? Did you get your surgery done?

I've heard that Tijuana is not a safe place for bariatric surgery. What is referred to as a hospital, could be just a strip mall clinic using non standard equipment and sterilization techniques. It's not worth risking your life for a few $$$$.

I am 3 days out from lap band surgery performed by dr Pedro Kuri at hospital Angeles in TJ. Cleanest hospital I have ever seen. Right this minute I am sitting in a terminal in San Diego and can't wait to get back home. I have lots to learn about myself and my surgery and all that it entails but I couldn't be happier with what I chose to do for myself.

      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.
