I read your reply heather. Thank you did you feel safe? I'm going alone who will watch my wallet?

They have a closet in your room to put your things and I believe it has a lock on in. I personally didn't lock my stuff up. But if you feel you might need a lock...bring one for your suitcase and put it in there...personally I can honestly say you won't need it. I had the same concerns at first but then quickly got over it once I got there.

I was sleeved on Monday 11/14 by Dr. Garcia at Mi Doctor Hospital. This man is WONDERFUL! Dr Garcia' date=' his GI specialist, his internist, surgical team, and nurses are a wonderful team! They are very caring, you will not have a question left unanswered. He is not well known and does not advertise...so...I'm going to put this man on the map! (He is well known in Mexico, but not yet in the USA) He needs his success stories to advertise for him! He has never had a leak, nor lost a patient. He is very professional and caring. Two nights in an actual hospital with 24 hour nursing staff is ideal! I never once had to call for a nurse, they checked on me ALL the time!

I was originally going to use Almanza, but so many things made me uncomfortable...my boyfriends cousin is an orthopedic surgeon in Tj and when my bf asked him about Almanza he said he didnt know him, but his friend does bariatric surgery...he gave us the email and phone number to him and we immediately connected.

His team is very through with their pre-op testing and questions and their post-op leak tests...the two things I will not rave about are the two NASTY liquids you have to drink for the leak tests...the blue dye was worst than the X-ray contrast!

I could have stayed in a hotel the 3rd night but chose to go home (I'm about 2 hours from the border.) Dr. Garcia and his GI specialist checked in on me everyday and would have come to the hotel if I had stayed also.

Please message me for any questions...I could go on and on...and I'm definitely not an english major!

      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.
