Wondering if anyone from Canada has gone to Mexico for a sleeve? How was your experience?

Please do. I've registered for surgery in Ontario but it can take over a year to get it done. Don't think I'm willing to wait that long. Please let me know how it all goes and who did your surgery. Thanks so much.

I registered in montreal 6 months ago. They didn t even call me for to see the doctor yet. Lol

I was tired of waiting so i decided to go to Mexico. De Quinones 4k.

I will claim it in my taxes (including the airfaire) so it will cost me about 3000$ at the end, that s how i decided...

Dr quinons. I m in contact with india the patient coordinator. She s very nice. All communications trough email (you can call here too), she answers question very quickly like 10 min.

I made a deposit trough paypal 1000$. And the balance 3k trought a bank draft when i get there.

Dlying friday, get there at 12:35, they will pick me up at the airport, get the surgery in the afternoonn and my flight back is monday 1pm...

Very easy...

      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.
