Ok questions for those who have used Dr Ramos-Kelly

Did you use Mexico Bariatric center or his office with Lora? Please let me know your experiences with either. I have a decision to make and I wanted to make the best one possible. I have been in contact with both. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I went directly with his office. His assistant last year was Omar. I believe he has a new assistant now (Lora?), but everything I've read still indicates his surgical and post-op care are as good as when I had my surgery last May (2012). I had a fantastic experience with him and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I just started talking with Lora, I heard some story about someone who worked with a coordinator and they got their hotel downgraded last minute when they were already there, I'm sure this happens very rarely but I would rather just work directly with them anyway.

I didn't have the option at the start of the year, Dr. K wasn't contracted with a coordinator company at that time. So, I was in the transition time between Omar and Lora, but Lora worked hard in the days just before I left to make sure I was 100% comfortable and ready to go. My experience once I got there was as expected... that is to say, all that I'd read and interviewed people about was just what we experienced. Since I went in February a friend of mine has worked direclty with them and been happy and I'm helping a family member set up their surgery with Dr. K. now and working direct also. So far so good!

I'm at Nova right now. It's clean. It feels like a county hospital in the U.S. rooms are private, but bring a translation app because nurses do not speak English, but I've not really had issues. Receptionist and doctors speak well.

      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.
