I'm curious to find out what made you choose Tijuana over Cancun. I'm choosing Cancun only because of the shorter flight but based on the fact so many are going to Tijuana, I'm wondering if I made the right choice. Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

I am sure u did I did research on Dr. Venzuela and Dr. Cabrera and thy seemed to be great and know what they where doing. I had a friend also that also used them as their surgeon and he ha lost already 80 pounds in 10 months so I decided to go ahead and go with them. I was sleeved on 2/25/2013 and I had very lil discomfort and every thing went smooth. I am sure Ur in good hands I have always been told Mexico had better surgeons that the USA cause they practice and have done theses types of surgery more than the USA has.

I chose Tijuana, even though it's a much longer trip, because it was difficult for me to find information about doctors in Cancun when I started researching over a year ago. I think that is why many people opt for doctors in Tijuana; Medical Tourism seems to be more established and it's easier to find information.

Having said that, I know there are a couple of people who there have opted for Cancun fairly recently and had great experiences. I know dr. sergio verboonen practices out of both Cancun and Tijuana and have seen posts from his patients. I'm not remembering others off the top of my head, but you might get more information if you were to post a new topic asking for information and reports for Cancun specifically.

      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.
