Mexico: experience see here



Recommended Posts

I am 3 days post op. I went to Mexico for my surgery with Dr Rodriguez. I wanted to come back here to let everyone know how my experience went. It was simply amazing!!! I had no problems with gas at all. My tummy is a little bit sore. Dr Rodriguez is the nicest person that i have ever met! His bedside manner is awesome!!! I am a nurse here in Ohio and i tell you that i have NEVER met a better Doctor. The hospital was very clean, the nurses spoke enough English that it was easy to communicate!! Just wanted to add that my hospital room had a flat screen TV and the top of the line cooling system, for those that expect Mexico to be trashy. The hotel that they put me in was top of the line. (So beautiful!!!) It wasn't a cheap place to stay by any means. $7750.00 and everything was included but the airfare. If you are a self pay and are scared to go to Mexico for any reason, please look into Dr Rodriguez. You won't be dissappointed!!! His assistant Barb is top of the line herself. You never have to go with a question unanswered, i swear she knows everything and if she doesn't she ask the Doctor and gets back to you promptly. I have never felt so cared for in my life. :angel: Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all!!! I am sooooo Happy to have made the decision to be banded by Dr Rodriguez!!! :clap2:

Congrats on being banded! I was banded in Mexico as well, though not by your surgeon. There are some nightmare doctors wherever you go, US or Mexico or elsewhere, so I'm glad you had an excellent 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.
