As far as I know, the different sites are the different coordinators. It doesn't matter which one you go with. I think they just create their "Own" site to advertise.

Hi,

I know there are a lot of doctors in Mexico who do WLS. If you are asking about the doctors, I can tell you that I had a wonderful experience going to Dr. Aveves in Mexicali, Mexico. Since you are saving up your money to do this. It really is a good time to do a little research in doctors, their hospitals and what others feel about the doctor they went to.

One thing I want you to think about, it is NOT a time to price shop. This is your health and you want the very best you can have. Find out if they do the surgery in a clinic and send you to a hotel to recover. That is something I would stay away from too. The Internet is a great place to find out and evaluate all the information you gather.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Hi kansasgirl,

There are different site because each coordinator creates their own to create their own business. I too went through successfullyslimmer and had Christi as a coordinator. She is fantastic and always has the answers to my questions or will point me in the right direction to find them. The prices and people dealing with the surgery are all the same. Christi was fast to get me the information I needed and still checks up on me. Plus she even sent a small gift package before surgery full of great little forget-me-nots for my trip. I would reccommend her any day. Congratulations with your decision and feel free to contact me any time if you have any questions.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
