You have to tell us where you are going in Mexico. Mexico is BIG. Hope you find a travel partner and good luck with the surgery.

I just had a lap-band to sleeve revision done in Tijuana on 5/26/14. My patient facilitator set me up w/ a "surgery buddy" who was traveling alone. My husband traveled w/ me & took care of both of us! I think I have made a life-long, lasting friendship w/ my buddy! See if your facilitator or liaison can research for you who else may be traveling to your same facility that day. Best of luck to you! I am very happy w/ my decision so far :-D

I had my band converted to a sleeve on May 26, 2014 in Tijuana. My surgeon, for both surgeries, was dr. sergio verboonen. I initially found him through International Patient Facilitators. Both of my surgeries were facilitated by Sheri Burke, who I just adored! I researched dr. verboonen & was pleased with what I know about him. My original band was done in Cancun, where Dr. verboonen travels monthly. Hope this info helps!

      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.
