I used Mexico bariatric centre. No issues. Easily done. Cost was 4600 plus airfare.

I'm having my procedure done in Tijuana next week! Although the doctor I'm using is a different one. Dr verboonen. And the cost is around the same like $4600. Just like Rebecca said, I used the Mexico baiatric center website and they get you started with everything.

I did look at their fb page. But my daughter did not like it because on fb she cant have any privacy to her questions or her medical stuff. We decided that we would not use their page. Here she can talk to people openly without having her personal information and personal friends be able to see her private stuff.

The Facebook group is private, so only the people in the group can see whats in there.

      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.
