Rocky1 now I'm not saying that Tijuana Bariatrics is a bad company at all. I just figured if I have a question / concern that I would be emailed back with answers. Please refrain from replying to any of my posts. I am not on here for bullsh*t. I'm on here like everyone else, for advice! Going back and forth is so elementary. I'm grown. I don't have time for all that. I'm not trying to be pushy and sound snobbish or do I want to deal with people who portray their self that way. Thank you but no thank you :)

@@lorenas331, not yet. I've decided to do more research on Dr. Zavalza. I see they also perform their surgeries at the Florence Hospital in Tijuana Mexico and they have a doctor who does the dental implants. I'm waiting to here back from them with a quote on the dental implants. Dr, Zavalza charges the same as Dr, Garcia. Which is still great. I'm trying to get two things done around the same time. One week/7 days is all I'll have off of work. ((I got billzzzz)) :) :)

@@kimmorgan no I don't. I'm not really into Facebook. I received the email with the forms to fill out and send back. I'll be doing that first thing this morning when I get off. :) I should be getting a quote for the dental implants surgery this week as well.

I would NEVER have a dental procedure at the same time as another major surgery. Any dental procedure or oral surgery tends to release bacteria into the bloodstream and you don't want that bacteria seeding your surgical site. In fact, in the US, depending on the type of surgery, they advise against any dental work for 6 months postop. Of course you can take antibiotics, but it was the antibiotics I was given for a tooth root abscess that caused my C. diff infection 2 months post VSG. Not a fun experience.

      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.
