@@SharonTX I use Dr Elias Ortiz in Mexico and my nephew is using Dr Curiel (both are through A Light Me). My experience in Tijuana, Mexico was nothing but excellent. I believe I got as good, if not better care there, then I would have received in the DFW area, and I am a nurse, working in the ICU setting for 27 years.

Good luck with your decision and your journey to a healthier and more active person.

For those of you in the Katy area and are interested in Zumba there is a great Zumba class @ Kenyetta & Co. Studio. Located @ 611 S. Mason Rd. Katy TX.( IJS) Wish I didn't live in the medical center. I used to go there when I lived out that way.

Have a great day!

Thank you for the information ! am now considering Elias Ortiz, Ariel Ortiz, Lousiana Valenzuela or Dr ponce de leon. My list has expanded. Haha ! I plan to make a decision in the next week. But so far I am feeling that any of these doctors would do a good job. I worked in the medical field for 18 years but not as a nurse...Admin. Thank you for all you do ! Being a nurse is a tough job !

      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.
