Hi MouseOnTheMile--my hubby is very nervous for me, supportive, but would rather I changed my mind.lol...He does understand the struggle I have had over the years.

After the surgery in TJ..we are going to stay in LA for a break and rest for a few days as we have a long plane ride back to Northern Canada.

I'm in Edmonton, Alberta and I'm going to Tijuana to see Dr Ortiz :) I'm sure once your hubby knows you're safe and sound after surgery, he'll be nothing but pleased you had it, especially when he sees the results and how it will improve your life.

That's not the one.

Private message phillygal64 with your e-mail and she will send you an invite. (I had a problem locating it too, it might be because ours is a private group - not sure)

Why would Albertans go to Mexico when you can get it in Canada for free?? I am scheduled for November 14 in Calgary and pretty excited about it and have the Alberta health services support behind me including dieticians psychologists and nurses including monthly support meetings... Go Alberta and Canada

Because I'm not waiting the two years and jumping through hoops. I want it enough I'm willing to fit the bill. I've been on the list for almost a year and haven't even gotten a call to book my first appointment.

Same as Mouse in the mile, I am in Northern Alberta and it's a 2-3 year process and we don't have the supports you have down south, we need to travel 5+ hours to get them and that would end up costing me more then going to Mexico.

Plus from what I've heard, if we provide an itemized receipt and fill out a form we can be reimbursed a portion of our costs.

Yes we can, aswell as claiming it on our taxes, but I believe there are certain requirements for that.

      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.
