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

Ruben told me my sis couldn't stay the first night with me but the second night she could stay with be at recovery house for $40 cause they'd feed her and take care of her there too. :) for the first night they recommend a nearby hotel and I know there is a Starbucks nearby and a quick taxi ride to a museum and theater that has movies in English and mall.

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

I'd call him. Also make sure you fill out the application, i couldn't see that on the website on my phone but on my laptop I could.

Where you will be yes (I live here) like you said it is a big city so like you would in any city take extra precaution to lock car doors and keep purses with you. I've left my ATM card in the machine at the grocery store near where I live here in Tijuana, someone found it and looked for me in the store and gave it back!!! I was the only white girl. :) But you won't be...there will be other americans in that area.

I figured as much. I read some horror stories that made me second guess myself.

      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.
