Dr. Wilhelmy and Mexicali Bariatric Center



Recommended Posts

I just had surgery with Dr Wilhelmy at Mexicali Bariatric Center on August 6th. My experience was excellent! A bit about my story. My mom had her sleeve done in 2013 with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali and I went with her. We were VERY impressed with the hospital and with the care she received. Couldn't be happier with her sleeve either. When I decided to have surgery done, I would not have considered going any place else. Everything was just that good! I had no doubt I wanted to be at the same hospital with the same doctors taking care of me. Sadly Dr. Aceves was not available to do my surgery but I knew of the experience the whole team had and was vey impressed with Dr. Wilhelmy's credentials. I wanted someone just as experienced as Dr. Aceves, someone with many years as a surgeon and with a reputation just as solid. Although money is important experience and results were way more important to me. I was not disappointed! My mom and I both agreed that the care she received a year ago and the care I got this month was just as good. They really are a very professional, caring and experienced team. I felt safe the entire time. Dr. Wilhelmy visited me daily, he makes you feel confident and sure that you will succeed with your new tool. I really cannot recommend them enough, if you are going to have surgery there you will not be disappointed either. They are the absolute BEST in my book.

      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.
