So, since I've had to cancel my surgery I've been depressed... Even more so than what I was before. I felt like I finally found a solution to help me with my problem, and I had to just give up on that all together. I've been thinking of any way possible to come up with the money. But I do have good news! My income tax may be more than what I anticipated! :) if so, I still may not be able to go in March, but maybe in a few more months!! I hope...

Everything will work out for you...I am in the same predicament that you are in and I'm just saving and trying to stay positive. I talked to alma last week from r4ac and she said at this time they are not in house financing but to contact her within 30 days to see if everything goes thru...So I will keep my fingers crossed with that but if not at least I know that I eventually will get to Mexico....

Have either one of you looked into a less expensive surgeon? Not sure what the cost is of the dr of your choice, but just a thought

I agree with u. I originally was going with Dr. Lopez but the Dr I ended up going with is $750 cheaper n doesn't require a deposit. Dr. Illan $4000!!!

@zoriahdiana5. Can you give me more info on Dr. Illan and a phone number? And also do they use a coordinator? Thats a big price difference!

info@bajabariatrics.com yes he uses a coordinator. His name is Omar and was Dr. Kelly's old one.

Sorry just,seeing ur message. By GAmom is right. N yes, that is a big price change. I couldn't be happier with my choice. I'm so glad I never gave a deposit else where.

I did I went from Dr. Ponce to Dr. Garcia...Things happen for a reason...This is how it is in life and some things just have to be on "pause" for a minute....I'll get to Mexico before this year is over...I never made any deposits because I want ALL the money I need before I make a date...so it is what is....staying positive!!!!

I'm leaving on the 18th having surgery on the 19th with Dr. Illan. I changed to him as well. Coordinator is awesome n so is Dr. Illan. We stay n constant contact, I had a meeting on Skype with Dr. Illan courtesy of Omar my coordinator. When searching for a Dr., No other coordinator offered me that. It's a group of us ladies that r all going n we're all awesome!! Lol. We have our own lil page on FB that we stay in contact on too.

      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.
