Dr. Jose Rodriguez-Villareal & Dr. Elmo Aramburo Surgery 02/14



Recommended Posts

I am taking a leap of faith and going to Mexico for a band to sleeve revision. I have a infection in my port and slipped band. I have gained about 50 pounds back. My BMI is 36. I have been watching this forum for a while, first time to post. I would love any information about the doctors and what to bring or expect. Thanks for all your help!!

Betterplace2013,

I went to Dr. Lopez at Mi hospital in Tijuana. He and his wife, Dr. Osuana sometimes operate together, they have 3 different locations. I have nothing but excellent things to say about my entire experience. I used A Lighter Me as my coordinator. Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you might have. I am more than happy to share my experience with you. Good luck!!

I had my surgery in Juarez on January 9, 2015 by DR. JOSE RODRIGUEZ-VILLARREAL AND DR. ELMO ARAMBURO. They were amazing and the hospital staff were great. I had no problems and as of today I am down 68 pounds. I would go back to Mexico without hesitation.

      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.
