Hi, I am still in Tijuana, Day 5 post OP, and feel great. No pain. I was with Dr. Ponce on Nov.1. Two days in hospital, 1 day at Hotel Lucerna. Taking an extra day, just enjoying the luxury Hotel Lucerna and sightseeing.

Arranged thru Trish: www.wls4betterlife.com

Trish cell#: 661-886-4617

Dr. Ponce taught a lot of the other doctors here...I trust Dr. Ponce & Trish completely! They are so caring, transparent, & go the.extra mile for u.

I'm surprised how many surgeries a day some of the drs listed on here are scheduled for? (maybe same.names only, but different drs?)

Will write more detailed review when have access to computer..still enjoying my vacation ;-)

I am having plastics with Dr. Bello on November 12th. He works with Dr. Aceves (He performed my sleeve 1/5/11). Will be heading into Mexicali on November 11th! Flying into San Diego with my sister on Friday for a couple days of fun before surgery!

What kind of plastics are you getting? And how much do they charge? I still haven't even had my surgery yet, but I'd like to start planning ahead :)

I had Lopez on the 3rd, there were 3 of us. I am doing really well. We were at Mi hospital. I am at the hotel now, the first day out was rough for me, I vomited a few times because I wasn't walking enough, but once I got over taht I was fine. I did the blue dye and the barium swallow test, no leaks. I am back at the hotel now trying to push the liquids. I went down for chicken broth, and I had it the night befor the surgery, it tasted devine, tonight it tasted like salt water! My mother is here with me and told me it was just me, it was the same broth, very strange! I feel good otherwise!

I had Dr. Lopez on the 3rd, it was a great experiience, I am healing wonderfully. Just got home last night. I just keep having to remind myself to drink drink drink so I don't get dehydrated. I have noticed hot and warm liquids go down and feel much better than cold liquids, and I have already noticed my tastes have changed. It is strange, but good! I also have zero hunger, and no desire to eat, which I honestly did not believe would happen. I could not say greater things about Dr. Lopez, A Lighter Me, Mi hospital, Abraham, or Eduardo. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

      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.
