There's no such thing as invading space. If no one "invaded" space the forum would die. It just needs to be put under specific titles/sub titles so it's more accessible for others and can be of more use.

Good luck Alex.

We have the "Self-Pay & Mexico Vertical Sleeve Surgery" forum already. How about we require any reviews or posts that have anything to do with Mexico or Mexican surgeons to be posted in there ?

A brilliant idea, two thumbs up Alex!

So are you saying that we ask to have them moved when they post under different sub forums?

I think that having designated spots for each doctor would be something they would like..

There aren't that many doctors are there?

That works, but why not require them to post specific posts about specific dr in the specific dr thread. Makes it easier for others doing research.

Let's try putting them in one forum first and if that works we can create threads for each one.

Idk if I'm a huge fan of this. It could be interpreted as telling Mexi-Sleevers they don't belong with the majority.

Tell your VSG story applies no matter where you go, right?

And if you have one big thread, like Dr. Ponce's things get lost. I like reading individual stories. They saved my sanity while researching.

And I am typically a big fan of, "a place for everything, and everything in its place."

I do like the idea of expanding the Self Pay/Mx forum to include ways to categorize things if people so choose. Such as surgery location hotspots; TJ, Mexicali, PV, Cancun, etc...

When I was doing research, I typed in my doctors name in the search and it worked just fine.

Doing that though you get any mention of the drs name.. Which is fine, but for direct regards to the experience and others who used him I prefer sub categories per dr/locations and maybe not just MX but ALL DOCTORS/SURGEONS/LOCATION so everyone can journal their experience if they so wish to do so. This would help everyone doing research for the perfect fit for them regardless of what country their going with

Baha I know. I was just being a turd! Actually, on another site, they have groups for each Mexican doctor. It was really helpful because it's hard to find info on Mexican doctors through an online search.

Oh thank god! I was just thinking oh **** another VST controversy >.<

And Amanda the point is not to limit but to streamline a bit on one topic, of course those patients are going to be participating all over the forum on all issues!

I think you have to go to the 'Ignore User' thread to make sure of that Ms.AntiBand.

      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.
