Hello!!! I will be traveling alone to TJ. I live in San Diego so I don't have a long distance to travel for the trip home...I am hoping to talk to someone else who is scheduled around my time or has a recent experience with Dr. Lopez. I have done years of research and feel very comfortable with my choice of doctor, but any new info would be great!! Thanks!

My surgery is May 19th w/Dr Lopez. Maybe I will see you before I go; are you staying at the Marriott on the night of the 22nd?

Yep! Staying at the Marriott on the 22nd. I'm getting a revision. Just praying that my lap band problems didn't scar up my stomach too much. I had to have emergency surgery in 09 to have it removed.

      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.
