Other things done while VGS in Mexico



Recommended Posts

I am thinking of having my teeth whitened while in Mexico for my VGS. Did anyone else that had VGS done in Mexico have any other procedures or look into others?

I'm going to do a chemical peel. I'm a band to sleeve conversion and they keep you a few days longer to check for complications. That being said, I know I'll be bored after the first few days. So, chemical peel. Also, since I'm taking the time off to recover from VSG it's good timing to recover from this as well.

My coordinator is also the coordinator for a cosmetic surgeon, but I wasn't financially prepared for that so she took us to get Botox... Love it!

I would really like to have some dental work performed. I never inquired about it though. Has anyone has bridges or veneers done?

I was going to do whitening but it's actually much cheaper locally. How?

Being in Texas and my dads family is only 90 miles from the border they go across a LOT. In fact all of their dental work was done in MX. One uncle had implants put in- $1000. Which is about 1/5 of what it is here.

      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.
