I just paid my deposit Dr. Ortiz today. So nervous and excited. I am going alone since my husband is staying home with our son. I haven't booked my ticket because I want to get some dental work done too. Has anyone gotten any dental work done in TJ and if do what dentist?

Ask OCC if they are still doing dentistry? They have a room for dental or they can recommend who to go to. I know they used to do it there. One stop shop......

Yes they do. They have an in house doctor at OCC. Just checking if anyone had dental work done.

There is a lady is having dental work done at the same time I want to say in April. Can't remember exactly. Maybe it was posted on the OCC forum. Hopefully she will see the question and chime in.

I am pretty sure they do all kind and crown and bridge work. But just email and ask.

      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.
