grammyto2 8 Posted July 14, 2012 I suppose this could apply to any of the Doctors in Mexico, but do they give you a plan to follow before leaving Mexico, And do they give guidelines for when you may resume certain activities in writing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mesaucedo 207 Posted July 14, 2012 Mine did as well. I also got a note form him for work. It worked out just fine. I didn't really like the nutrition plan though, it focused too much on fruits for me, so I adjusted based on what others had gotten. I still kept to the 2 - 3 weeks liquids though and then mushies for 2 weeks and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunnyCox 245 Posted July 17, 2012 I was emailed one and given one after surgery, but I ended up going with another one which had a lot more information that was given to me at a seminar I attended in the US. I can email you a copy if you PM me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grammyto2 8 Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks sunny! I'm going to pass on this for the time being, as I've got some things I need to do before surgery, and I still have to make my date with Dr. Kelly. And from what I understand he'll supply the info I'll need to do this properly at that time. But I appreciate it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
