redheadintexas 1 Posted October 6, 2013 I had surgery with DR. Ismael Caberra on August 24, 2013 he is a wonderful doctor you will not be disappointed . Also was at Mi Doctor Hospital very clean, staff very helpful and there for you within seconds, again will not be disappointed with MI doctor hospital either . I went through medical Tourisim WONDERFUL COMPANY everything explained well and regene was my contact there she's very helpful answering any questions you have very quickly via email. Also ask for Necie the cordinator in TJUANA she's fabulous . Overall I've lost 40 pounds with pre-op till now. Wish I had done it ALONG TIME AGO Any questions feel free to message me on here. 1 catered1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted October 6, 2013 At MiDoctor they gave me Water and cold greentea after I passed my leak test. I was sleeved by Cabrera/valenzuela and was told to be on Clear Liquids for the first full week and not even worry about Protein until the second week when I started drinking Protein Shakes.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redheadintexas 1 Posted October 6, 2013 They have apple juice, Gatorade and green tea. I really did not feel like eating till I got released from hospital wasn't hungry. When I got to hotel I had broth and juice. We stayed at Pablo Amigo it was GREAT on service and ammenties . They even went when I got back from hospital and picked up my medication . You will be on clear liquid first week or two. I know they told me no Protein for first week but after returning home approx six days after surgery I got really sick (chills, vomit and dehydrated) but was drinking every five min or less. I did protein then and next day felt a lot better just in case that happens? I was scared of leak but think was just very weak and dehydrated . I think it takes at least two weeks or longer to get to feeling better but hang in there CAUSE ITS DEFINATELY WORTH IT!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
