Booked with Dr. Perez Cancun for July 26



Recommended Posts

I'm flying in at 2:45 and will have surgery at 6pm that day. I'm super excited and alma has been fantastic throughout this process! Anyone else going to be there that day or a couple of days after? We're staying until the 30th...SOOOO Excited and my PMP is onboard and prescribed me B12 shots for when I get home. Any tips, advice?

Reading all of your posts has been monumental in helping me feel comfortable with this decision. Thank you all so so much!

Thank you, Anita! Glad to hear you had a positive experience with him :)

The cost I was given is $5,550 all inclusive for me and bf (we pay airfare).

We chose Cancun over Tijuana due to it being a 3 hour flight for us instead of 6-10 for Tijuana.< /p>

I will be sure to let everyone know how I am doing post-op.

You are one of the few people I've seen on the couple of forums I belong to that is going to Perez. That's Hector Perez-Corzo, correct? I'm scheduled for July 14th and have been stressing the fact that noone else ever seems to mention him, but I guess that's good too, right? Nothing negative? Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes, and good luck to you!

Elisabeth

      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.
