I had my surgery last year in Juarez. I wouldn't worry about the violence. You ride from the airport straight to the hospital and back.

I think you are right in having your fears of traveling to Juarez. There are no guarantees and the doctor or hospital will not guarantee your safety. I considered it very seriously because of the savings but in my head I couldn't get past the news reports.

I've heard amazing things about Dr. Kelly in Tijuana. You could give him some research. His cost was $5,300 when I checked into using him.

THANKS FOR UR ADVICE

I live in TX and yes all the border towns here are scary . I had a friend go with Dr.Rod and love love loves him and she felt safe the entire time. Just dont go out running around the hospital is safe . You will be fine just play it safe . I am useing Dr.Kelly as well but that was just my choice I would have crossed in TX to use dr kelly if I would have needed to I would have prefered to cross TX borders being a Texan 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.
