Thank you so much. I hope all is going well with you while you are there. How did everything go? I am also wondering about the anesethesia, did you have a spinal or general and put to sleep? Have been wondering which one to do. Thanks of any suggestions.

No problem! I actually made a few posts about the entire experience today. If you go to my profile, there's an option where you can click to see all my posts. You can check out my last 5 or so posts for all the details. But overall, it's been great so far! Good care and pretty uneventful recovery today.

I get emails all the time asking for these credentials so I am posting them for anyone to read:

According to MSNBC.com last year 240,000 US citizens traveled to Mexico for some type of surgery........

Is it ok if I copy with (minus link) to my FB page? I created a page for those in my life who know about my surgery to that they can stay updated. I want to put info about Dr Aceves on my page and this is very thorough and is kinda like one stop shopping for info of Dr. A. I wish to not include the link because although they may know about my surgery I do not with for them to know I am on this board. Is that ok?

Oh and if so, is this quoted from Nina? I want to give credit to whoever wrote it all out.And when did you receive this? I noticed this was posted last year and his stats will be very different by this point so I want to put a date of it so that I can point out that his stats are diff today than when this was written.

      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.
