Just curious who has gone to MBC and what was their experience with Dr. Valenzuela? I have been trying to find good reviews I am usually a little skeptical so figured if I wrote my own and someone was talking to me about it I would feel better. I was almost so skeptical I was trying to figure out if the whole place was even real, I have seen enough reviews that I pretty sure it is and really hope so because I just sent a deposit and have a date set for 10/22/13. Please if someone would help reassure my fears going forward with this I would much appreciate it!!

I went through MBC. Christy was my coordinator and Dr Valenzuela sleeved me. Fantastic experience. I have not a moment's hesitation to recommend Dr V. I healed great and my PCP is thrilled.

I went alone too. The driver picked me up at the airport and brought me right to the door. My Mexico coordinator Daniel, met me and helped me get checked in. Everyone was very helpful and I never had a moment's worry.

      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.
