How do you get a doctors note to be out of work from a doctor in Mexico? Has anyone received a doctors note from Dr. Garcia before leaving for the trip?

A drs note should be included in your discharge packet. If not just ask and there shouldn't be a problem. MX surgeons are very competent, professional and experienced at what they do.

They dr will fill out FMLA paperwork, disability insurance and also a note to go back to work. I went to Dr A Ortiz. His return to work note had a BIG picture on the top of the form with Obesity Control Center on it. I asked them to remove it, and they did. Then the only thing that said Obesity Control Center was fine print on the bottom of the paperwork.

You might want to see how your note looks before you leave.

I emailed my coordinator and sent her what I wanted the note to say. She then emailed me the note on his letterhead with a signature. Dr. Garcia is my surgeon as well.

      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.
