Long Term VSG Sleevers?

[cmhueto 167]

It's best to have a passport in fact they'll tell you that you HAVE to have one, but you can cross back into the US without it, it just take a LOT longer, you can get a passport card for quite a bit cheaper than a book if you don't already have one, (it looks like a drivers license and let's you cross back in a bit quicker lane.). Double check with your agency though. I live here in TJ so just speaking from experience. BTW, make sure you get mexico plan on your cell before you come out you may not have a nice bill when you get back home. And then turn your data off when you cross into mexico. The clinic has Wi-Fi I think, and you could use make calls and send text free over the Wi-Fi.

@@cmhueto Great advice. I'm getting a passcard if possible. Don't want to hold anyone up crossing the border. My local post office doesn't have an appointment available til middle of May though so looking at other locations.

Thank you @@cmhueto I will bring along a passport

Oh yea quick questions for you ladies. Dr arellano, for my pre op diet is having me do only low carbs and taking a Vitamin C from now up until my surgery. I'm thinking of just doing one week of liquids any way to get used to it. Maybe since I don't drink or smoke he feels I didn't need a pre liquid diet...does anyone have the same pre op diet as me ???

I was also told low carbs/high Protein. Vitamins weren't mentioned. I don't drink or smoke either. When are you scheduled for?

That is info they gave me 7 day high Protein low carb and fast 8 hours before surgery.. I am sending deposit next week gonna set up for July 20 I'm super excited ready to get this started.... My dad wants go go with me I think he is more nervous than I am

They quoted me $300'for deposit

[Tonileigh 17]

My deposit was $300 also. I've already paid it and scheduled with Dr. M on June 2nd. Planning to go alone.

[Aliyah14 41]

Before it was only 250 for the deposit

[cmhueto 167]

Mine was $300, but either way, it's refundable and part is total cost. I guess I'm going now in June, sometime from the 11-15. Anyone else going there at that time in this forum?

I'm not getting much in response from them. My guess is Ruben does it all and he can't handle it. Took 24 hours to get a response. Then no follow up email as promised. I want this scheduled 5/19 so I need to get on it

[tnkrrbl 53]

I was told low carb They said it depends on your BMI

Yes Ruben is the only one I have corresponded with. I usually receive a response within 24 hours or less.

[dorian122 20]

Ruben is not so good about returning emails in a timely manor. However he is great about returning calls.

Does anybody know how it is when you bring a guest as far as if they stay with you the whole time and is there things that they can do close not having a car trying to find out some info for the person that is going with me
