Has anyone been sleeved in Cancun? I am thinking it might be easier to fly into Cancun, and advice on surgeons, coordinators, prices etc would be wonderful! :)

Not sleeved in Cancun, but I flew into San Diego where I was picked up & crossed the border to Tijuana. It is literally 20 mins across the border!

That was with Dr Kelly.

Not sure where you are flying from, but it may be cheaper to fly to San Diego than Cancun?

Would I be able to email or converse with you? It looks like my choice is Mexico, and I am starting to get a little nervous.

Thanks,

Pam

I have my sleeve scheduled in Cancun for Jun16th with Dr.Sergio verboonen.

We're going a few days early, sort of a mini-vacation before the operation. I

will be happy to report all that happens if that helps to ease your mind.

I took a passport, but if Omar said you will be fine with birth certificate & drivers license I would trust him that it's enough!

They didn't even ask for any ID for me going into Mexico, it was just coming back into the USA that I had to show ID.

You have to have a passport to get back across the border. Google Mexico travel.

I used Dr. Perez in Cancun. Had a wonderful time and experience. It was easier for me to get to Cancun than any of the other Mexico locations, since I live in Florida. It was only 1 hr 15 mins by plane, it's 7 hrs to San Diego. I had my lapband in Tijuana with no problems 9 years ago so I have nothing bad to say about it, but if I had to choose between the two places Cancun would win everytime. It's gorgeous and so relaxing. My hotel room overlooked the ocean so it was nice to sit on the balcony after surgery and recuperate, plus the flight home was so quick.

Best of luck in your search :)

      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.
