That makes me feel better about things. Did you have someone with you or did you go alone? I'm going alone and am a little worried about how much pain I'll have and being able to manage busy airports alone. Can you rate your pain? I've had two c-sections and hope the pain level is nowhere near that.

Have you considered booking an extra day or two at the hotel? Your coordinator can get you a good rate. I had the same concerns and decided to stay an extra day.

That's a good thought. I might do that. But I just know I will be homesick and miss my husband (not so sure about the kids...hahaha!).

You can request a wheelchair at the airport to get you to and from your plane and connector flights. Many have posted that it made a big difference. Of course we want to walk as much as possible too. Le sigh. It's a judgement call...

Hi All,

I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr. Cabrera on the ninth and I'm a bit worried because I couldn't find reviews by patients on him. Christy (the coordinator) told me that people felt more comfortable with him than they did with Dr. Kelly. I hope things go smoothly!

I am scheduled for surgery on March 18th with Dr. Cabrera. I'm going through Medical Tourism. So far I dont have any complaints with anything. My daughter will be traveling with me. I am worried but from everything I have read and heard of these Dr.'s I think everything will be fine. I live in Alabama and I am concerned about the flight home. Also, we will be staying at Pueblo Amigo Hotel. I havent heard much about the hotel. It seems most everyone is staying at the Marriot. Any experiences and words of encouragement are greatly appreciated!

Hi... i just flew back home to texas yesterday... surgery done by drs cabrera/valenzuela... absolutely awesome drs...the Hospital MI Doctor was very neat and clean... all the staff was super... the language barrier a little bit of a challenge but not too bad... i was impressed that 4 other drs came in to check on me besides my 2.. i went through mexico bariatric center..christy was the coordinator, daniel was my "guide" ... i cant say enough wonderful words to describe daniel... he was absolutely amazing.. he was there every step of the way with my husband and i... we stayed at the Marriott.. .. and was treated so great there... the service was awesome... our drivers were so helpful..victor and willie....overall HUGE 5 stars for all involved... ive not heard of the hotel u are going to but from my experience i wouldnt go through anyone but these guys. Im sure there are many many success stories that others may have about other companies but i can just tell u what know.... i felt extremely safe and honestly daniel made us feel so comfortable and he really seemed to care... hope this helps...and good luck on your journey!!! :)

Oh and u mentioned flight... we flew economy on the way... which was a mistake for a "healthy" girl like me ;), but i upgraded to economy plus on the way back and that was much more comfortable... just a tip!

Thanx for the info. I'm on my way to the airport now. While your input eased my mind a bit I'm still nervous. It was a double kolonopin morning!

      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.
