In Mexico, no referral is needed. You fill out forms( health questionnaires),usually speak with a coordinator and after the doctor evaluates all the information,you pay the deposit and pick a date.---- This is how it usually goes, but everyones experience may vary

Because the pillows are terrible. The sheets are scratchy (clean and laundered tho) and I like my own downy fresh linens. I'm so much more comfortable in my own stuff. Can't wait to get my own Jammie's on and out of this robe.

My surgery was 2 years ago with Dr Kelly. So glad I did so much research and verified all his credentials. I couldn't have picked a better surgeon.

I went back to work at 17 days post op. The second day back was my "long" day when I have staff meeting and lots of driving. I was so exhausted and aching by the time 5pm came I was in tears. I'm glad you took it easy on yourself today. Indeed, you just had major surgery, it takes time to get back to 100%. Rest 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.
