Hi my name is Becka and I have been researching and debating whether or not to have this surgery. I recently found a Dr in Mexico but then my hubby got cold feet so I started looking around and now a littlw concerned about having it done in Mexico. Anywho if anyone has info on Dr. Sanchez that would be great. The nurse I talked to said that she could get my aftercare scheduled with a doc here on the island. I like the thought of Mexico cause its so much cheaper but do I go cheap? Also we aren't here in Hawaii for too much longer maybe 2 or 3 yrs so I am wondering what I would do when we move to another state? As you all see I have tons of questions.

Check out Dr. Javier DeLa Garza. He did my band , very happy with the results. Also his assistant Veronica found a doc in my area to do my fills. Dr. Garza is in Monterrey Mexico and the hospital is OCA hospital. Good luck and just research. You will find one that suits you.

      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.
