I'm always hearing about all of these other Dr's in TJ and their experiences with them but never any about Dr. Rodriguez at the INT hospital....anyone have any stories to share that I might have missed?

Hey There, I would be interested in additional reviews as well. I am seeing Dr. Rod on May 10, 2013 in Juarez (He travels between two locations I believe). Here is an excellent review you may enjoy:

Too bad nobody is going when Im going - May 10. Boooo.

Its looking like I will be travelling alone now too. My bf has a complication with his passport, and we have to rely on two Government offices to straighten it out within 23 days... thats not really too hopeful.

Non refundable, non transferrable airfare booked. Grrr. Oh well, what will be will be... his coming was a luxury I would have liked to have - but not a necessity from what I have read.

We will do great!

      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.
