Best surgeon in Mexico for a reasonable price? Ignore my previous post, i hit post too early



Recommended Posts

I also used Dr. Garcia and Ready4Achange. My surgery cost was $4630.00 because I only stayed 2 nights at the Marriott. The hospital they use is florence Oasis. I had no pain and no real discomfort after my surgery. The staff is very attentive and all of the doctors on his team are amazing. After I returned home, I found the doctors on his team excellent at getting back to me with any questions or concerns that I had. There are a lot of amazing doctors in Mexico. I belong to many private Facebook groups and I hear a lot. Of the good ones, I hear Dr. Quinones is great, as well as Dr. Aceves. With the amount of surgeries they do, there are going to be some complications. One name I hear a lot of when it comes to negative comments is Dr. Almanza. I have heard him referred to as the "Butcher". That is one I would definitely steer clear of. I am sure there are other posts on here about him. Good luck!

S Barbie, are you losing any hair yet? I am doing fantastic and so very happy, I feel so good. I agree, on the Monday what is my diet today. At 60 lbs I am just wondering when you noticed your hair thinning..and were there any bald spots?

No Hair loss yet. Knock on wood. People are finally starting to notice. In the last few days I've have numerous people wanting to know what diet I was on. I have no problem telling then about my sleeve. They usually all have questions about it. Glad your doing well!!!!</blockquote>

      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.
