I finally gave up on the financing & went self pay for surgery in Mexico. The down payment requirements with these medical financing companies were about the same as total package costs if you went to Mexico. I hope things work out better for you.

I think you're probably right. I will likely do the same thing. Hope you don't mind me asking but who did you end up going with ? and how is it working out ?

Leslie,

I am scheduled for the Gastric Sleeve with Dr. Kelly (Dr. Jamie Ramos-Kelly) for July 26th. He is in Tijuana. I booked my surgery directly with his office instead of going thru one of the medical brokers. It didn't change the price, but I knew I was getting correct information straight out of his office. He is not the cheapest, nor the most expensive, but he is one of the most experienced. He also trained in the US and is a member of all of the various US associations for doctors. I started my Pre-Op diet last Thursday. As of this morning, I have already lost 11 lbs. I'm getting more excited with each day that is closer to the 26th.

      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.
