I am currently in the planning stages of getting my sleeve. I am hoping to get it done by Dr. Kelly early spring. Has anyone here also combined the trip with other procedures?

I am thinking about getting some brown sun spots lasered off my face and getting my teeth whitened while in Mexico (so much cheaper then the states!). Thoughts?

Mrsteacher, I have thought about your scenerio too. But not even sure how that would work honestly. I am scheduled for my gastric sleeve with Dr. Fernando Garcia in TJ on Oct 4th, 2012 (yes..it is that far out...sigh). I also suffer from hyperhidrosis and wanted to see if any doctors in TJ could help me with that problem but I don't even know where and how to begin researching. Will let you know if I find any info but I'm sure it is possible to do other things while there. Good luck!

      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.
