[tampa 55]

I have sen several posts that mention shakes and loosing weight prior to surgury. I am looking into doing mind in Mecixo. Do you know what they require?

The Pre-liquid diet is to help lose. Some abdominal fat as well as shrink liver prior to the surgery. I am having my sleeve done in New Jersey so I'm not exactly sure what they require in Mexico maybe you can call to find out.

My doctor is having me do a five shake Liquid Protein diet two weeks prior to my surgery date on June 11. I can also have sugar free crystal light and sugar-free Jell-O and Water and sugar-free ice pops:)

Hi- I had my surgery in Mexico 12 days ago. They do require a pre-op diet and for you to fill out a questionnaire. They will contact you as well. I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Quinones and his staff. PM if you have any questions.

Why do people go to Mexico for surgery?

Why do people go to Mexico for surgery?

If they don't have insurance/insurance doesn't cover wls and they need a cheaper cost I believe

We go to Mexico for various reasons. For me it was lack of insurance, some people' insurance won't cover it, and some don't want to spend the money when there are qualified doctors in Mexico. My parents have their own - very successful business- but since we are Mexican have always trusted the doctors and felt that the care is really good and without insurance has been a great option. I have basic care in the states but without surgery I was basically facing higher costs with insulin medications and constant sickness. I wish I could have done it in the states but I have no regrets of going across the border. I'm 13 days post op and hit 20 pounds 30 counting preop diet today. It's a choice for some of us who may not have had another.
