Hi Renee

I'm leaving for Mexico next Thursday !!! I'll be visiting with a friend for a few days and then have surgery with Dr. Huacuz on Tuesday the 17th.

I'm soooo excited. I have done all my research and I'm very confident that this is the right place for me.

hI aNDREA, i TOO first "looked" at going to Mexico... the doctors reputations and medical facilities are awesome... PLUS a GF of mine IS a physician and SHE went to MEXICO for her Face Lift, BOOB job and eye lift.... so that's a pretty good referral if you ask me...

HOWEVER! If you go to MEX and save $$$ the TLBC Toronto Doctors will do your 'after' fills but they charge $5000 so by the time you add in airfare, Mex medical bills, + the $5000 for Cdn aftercare... its really not much of a savings... In my humble opinion.

However, you could get HUBBY to make a vacation out of it everytime you need a "fill" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

Yeah but the total process took about 4 months as we applied from Canada. Then when the cheque finally came we had to wait another 6 weeks for the bank in Canada to clear the funds from Australia

my son and i had our bands done in mexico. i would check with your local doctor first. we saved by going to mexico we both were done for 15,000 canadian we get our fills local.

The Dr in St Albert happens to be my fill Dr but he exclusively does Dr. Cobourn and Dr. Mumford's patients. Nobody elses. I just had this discussion with him and he told me his reasons which I agree with. I don't know of any other fill Dr's in the Edmonton area,

      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.
