I'm new here!! Found out about this App from a great friend that had her surgery done in Houston!! She looks awesome by the way:) as for me I am looking into going to Cancun and getting my sleeve done. A little nervous expecting to go with Dr. Perez. Has anyone gone with him before and how was everything? I got my quote already and wanted to go soon not sure when. HELP!

I used DR Perez and I really liked him. You might want to read some of my other posts. If you are picky about the hospital, you might not like Clinica Victoria because it is pretty small. But I had no problems and I'm doing fine 3 months later.

Alright guys just talked to Dr.Ortiz yesterday!!!!! So excited he sounds so sweet on the phone. With a matter of emails back and forth with Lori I was able to have Dr. Ortiz call me in between surgeries to answer any of my questions:) let me tell you!!! He answered everything!!! He knows his STUFF!! Can't wait ladies will be purchasing the pre-op supplements. Just a little confused on how many to buy!! Or if anyone knows of a cheaper route but then again I want to do if the right way to make sure that I am physically ready for surgery. I am reaching out for March 7th to take off that way, would love a buddy, I will be going solo:/ but again talking with Dr. Ortiz it just reassured me that I was making the right choice!!!

Super excited!!!!!

Dr. Ortiz (Ariel) most definitely knows his stuff and the other surgeons in his office are phenomenal! You are in great hands. I had my surgery at OCC on 12/16 and had a great experience. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask or pm me if you like, I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Thanks so much!! It's tough right now knowing that I need to change my eating habits even now to lose weight before surgery:( That truly means a lot to me to know that I will be in great hands, like I said before I will be going solo and yes nerves are kicking in but i still have a month to prepare myself!! Thanks so much!! I just now need to find me a buddy to be with:)

      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.
