Dr. Sanchez



Recommended Posts

Anyone use Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey? He was gunned down in cold blood just a few days ago, at the gate leading into his ranch. If anyone is interested, I will try and find an English translation of the story.

Gads. That is terrible. I sure hope no one decides to shoot Dr. Rodriguez. It is a shame when someone kills a lapband doctor because they are doing a whole lot of good for the world.

Just wondering if anyone had heard anything new. I wasnt seeing him for aftercare, but was still speaking to him on the phone just about monthly. I feel slightly bereft here. What a sad and bizarre thing to happen.

I talked to alma on Monday and was trying to get funeral arrangements because myself and another girl that was banded by him wanted to go there to see the family and everyone at the guest house. They are so upset and dumbfounded. I cried and cried Monday. He was just the sweetest, kindest more generous surgeon I've ever met let alone the best in the world for the lapband surgeries. They had just told me in July that the reason Dr. Z was taking over most of the surgeries was he wanted to semi retire, he's done more than 7000 on the band surgeries and was just tired. I hope they catch and put to death whomever done this.

Will let everyone know more when I know more.

      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.
