I'm so excited. I research for more then two years and finally decided and paid my deposit. :) thank you for replying :)

I checked out their website as well. Great price might I add. :) I'm nervous as well but I'm sure everything will be OK. I am awaiting my passport card through the mail. Change is always scary at first :)

I am scheduled with Dr. Zavalza and several of my friends have used him. I don't agree with the statement that you get what you pay for because my friends got treated far better than other people that they met there that had surgery for more money from different doctors. I think you have to do your research. There is a wonderful Facebook group for Dr. Zavalza also.

Brela, yes I know what you mean :) there are doctors who do the same work and charge higher. Why pay higher if you can get it done for cheaper. I won't spend more if I don't have to. :) I could think of a lot of other things I could do with the extra money left over like buy a new wardrobe of course :)

Rocky1 I like the fact that with Hospital Angeles you only stay three days in the hospital then go home. The pay a a few thousand higher though. The hospital looks great from the video's . I know for sure that I'll get a hysterectomy done at Hospital Angeles after I have the gastric sleeve surgery done. A year later though. I paid the deposit to Tijuana Bariatrics but I'm still unsure of what I'll do because I hate how after you pay the deposit the phone calls and emails stop coming in :( plus five days is a lot of work missed for the surgery. I'll try sending an email again and if I receive no response, I'm moving on.

Brela, what hospital does Dr, Zavalza operate out of in Tijuana Mexico? How much was your deposit? Do they really stay in contact? Once I deposited $500 dollars the phone calls and emails stopped coming in.

      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.
