I contacted them. The sales tactics o found a little off putting but I hear their surgeon is good. I went with OCC because of many other pp great reviews.

Whoever ypu go with down there they are doing tons of procedures and likely w ay more expd than stateside. They will tak e good care of you

I had surgery with Dr. Fernando Garcia, Tijuana Bariatrics in October. I was very happy with their service. Ask any questions you might have. I am happy to help.

I'm schedule with Dr Garcia April 24th. How did you feel right after surgery? How long did you stay?

Atallia is my coordinator

@@HEALTHYLEE - I was extremely nauseous after surgery and threw up all night until about 1pm the next day. I would say that this is not typical, however, because I have always had a very weak stomach and am prone to throw up very easily. There was another lady next door that was throwing up too though. I don't think hers lasted as long as mine. All I can say is WALK WALK WALK. It will help you tremendously. I stayed for 2 nights in the hospital and then 2 nights in the hotel. The nurse came by the hotel, checked on me and cleaned up my wounds some. The pre-op diet and first month after surgery really sucked for me, but I have seen people on here and other forums that have no issues whatsoever so hopefully you are in that category. If you are in my category, just know it will get better. I feel awesome now, more energy than I have had in a long time and FINALLY just broke my stall that I had been in. I'm 73lbs lighter. Let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck to you on your journey.

Thanks for the response but I believe I will have the same issue as you did. I too have a weak stomach and after my Tummy Tuck years ago I threw up. I might as well get ready for what's about to happen. My date is near. Thanks again

      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.
