I did try all of those options, no one had them. Luckily I found one through a respiratory clinic.

I too am Canadian(from Ontario) and went to Mexico September 2012 to have my revision done. Absolutely the best thing I could have done! The doctors are remarkable and care is top notch. You won't be disappointed, best of luck to you!!

I has my surgery in March if this year in Tijuana Mexico. We didn't have to bring one or even use one. I didn't see anyone who had them. I live in Alberta and I would have never even been considered for this surgery here as I had to loose less than 100lbs. I am at my goal already. I am so happy I has this surgery because it changed so many things for me and the weight is just a bonus. I am now getting ready fir my new adventure in February. I am going to Monterrey Mexico for my cosmetic surgery it get rid of all the loose skin. I can't wait for that day to come. All the best to you. You should have had your surgery today and u wish you all the best and a speedy recovery.

How are u feeling

I am doing better and better each day. First couple were tough, no gas pain but my sleeve was inflamed and was causing me to throw up. They gave me a shot of anti-inflamatories and things got much better.

Wasn't able to move comfortably for a little while, but now rolling over, sitting/standing is a lot less troublesome! I can even sleep on my side now ^_^ my incisions look REALLY good. If I have any scars at all, they're gonna be minor for sure!

      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.
