@@Kindle I already had all of my teeth pulled out at the top and have these uncomfortable upper dentures. March of 2016 will make a year. Then I'm able to have the All on Four dental implants. I'm awaiting to here from the dentist and the doctor to see if it is possible to get both around the same time. If it is possible :) if not :( but I'll be OK :) I received my passport card in the mail today :)

Hi. I know this is an old thread but I’m new here and considering surgery also with Dr. Hidalgo. I was wondering how your overall experience was and if you recommend him. Thank you!

Medical Tourism Corporation, I did a lot of research and I chose that company and utilized Dr. Jorge Green, at the Oasis of Hope hospital in Tijuana. I had my surgery on 2/18/19, it’s been one week. My comparison to that hospital versus an American hospital is that the staff was very competent, nice and efficient. A lot of the staff spoke English and were very attentive to me. I really liked the Doctor because he was/is a straight shooter. Also I was given his private cell phone number for any follow up questions. That’s not what you get in the states! Also the facility was REALLY NICE...and clean, there was someone ALWAYS cleaning! Best bet for your research, I’m sure glad I did!

Hi Tara,

I was wondering if you did end up going with Dr. Hidalgo? I'm seriously considering him but having a hard time finding anyone to share their experience with him. 🥴🥴🙏🙏

      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.
