Are you from Canada? I'm in Alberta and with the 3-5 year wait times for surgery, it's looking like I'll be going to Tijuana too.

yeah from Canada, I am going to Tijuan because of the wait lists. Plus you look at the doctors here that do the surgery, maybe one every 3 days where in Mexico, they do 3-4 a day. These guys are experts at their craft. that's all they do I was told. I would rather bank on someon ethat does many rather than one that does a few.

I'm having mine in Orange County Calif. Just had the last of my tests today - cardiac ultrasound. Next week I do the last appt before surgery with the surgeon, the internist, and the nutritionist.

I can't believe the amount of testing they do beforehand. I think they have done an ultrasound of everything on my body!

      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.
