I was sleeved by Dr. Cabrera on September 25, 2013. It was a good experience and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Everyone was nice and professional. I only saw Dr. Cabrera twice, but was pleased with the overall care I received from all the doctors and nursing staff. I've lost 68 lbs. as of today... started at 263.

My sister is having surgery with Dr. Cabrera on Wednesday. I'm going as her support person. We fly out tomorrow!!

Thank you for the well wishes and best of luck to you on the 6th. From what i've read and am hearing Cabrera is an EXCELLENT and brilliant Dr and probably one of the best in mexico, but is still soo underrated. But please be sure to share your experiences, I will be looking forward to it.

My pain was the worst when I first woke from surgery & it got better through the night. Then I had pain when their removed my drain, but once it was out virtually all pain went away. My diet is still clear (broth, Jello, popsicles, etc) but I have tried a couple bites of non fat vanilla yogurt & it settled well!

      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.
