How much is the procedure and are you only getting the tt? I plan in getting plastics done once I reach goal and thought about going there to make it a vacation prior to surgery.

Where in Dr is she in? I might go see Dr. Jesus Abreu or Dr. Donald Roland who promotes a lot in DR but does his surgeries in NYC.. and One of my moms friends got consulted by a doctor here who gave her an appointment to get her stuff done in DR.

Can you go into details on what your getting done? I still don't speak -plastics lol

Sorry typo. My surgery was in Feb and my starting weight was 275, down 30. Do you know anyone who has had surgery with that doctor? Also thinking of using Dr. Sauceda in MX.

As soon as my moms friend gets back from DR i'll have her give me all the info. I'll add it here.

I told my mom whose currently out there if she can go check out Dra de lo santos however my mother prefers from me to have surgery here.

They will charge me 4x what your paying if i get plastics in NYC

Hey hun. My moms friend didn't get the surgery. Her surgeon was trying to charge her another $2000 because she had put on some weight. (she said is a scam they do sometimes) So she's going to have surgery with another Doc.

She said 2 of her friends recommended them. Good Luck!

      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.
