I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve on Friday, November 23 in Juarez, Mexico with Dr Rodriguez. I've done my research and he has a wealth of experience. I am still very nervous. Any previous patient?

Make sure that your cell phone is international. Bring some sort of hand held device- iPod, kindle fire etc to surf. Remember you are getting this to live a longer life to be a healthier Mother for your son.

I just wanted to let you both know that I had found people on this website who had surgery with Dr. Rodriguez and contacted 5 of them by private message asking their opinion on this MD and 3 of them replied right away telling me about how wonderful he is. Everyone was happy with him, his team and the hospital!

Hope this puts your minds at rest- it somewhat reassured me as well.

Good luck on the surgery to all of us! :)

      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.
