No, I'm going by myself. If you'll be staying at the Marriott, I should see you there. :)

Anyone going to Mexico in June, 2015? I will be flying in on June 14th, surgery on June 15th with Dr. Fernando Garcia. Anyone else going to be in TJ in June? Who is your surgeon? When will you be there?


I am also flying on June 14 from DFW into San Diego. My surgery is on June 15 with Dr Jesus Martin Lopez in TJ. Maybe we will meet each other there. My husband is traveling with me. Is anyone going with you?

VSG 1/8/2015 with Dr. Carlos Altamirano Cano. Wonderful experience The time he takes to make his patients comfortable and knowledgeable of the procedure is second to none. He gets a top notch rating from me.

If you don't mind me asking why did you choose Dr Garcia? I had my mind set on Dr. Zavalza but I've read so many good things on Dr. Garcia.

Because I'd researched doctors and I just chose Dr. Garcia. A lot of people seemed to be happy with him, so I just went with it. I looked at his website, read a lot of his blogs, joined his FB page and looked out there, and I just thought I would be happy with him.

I've seen a lot of people that are very happy with A Lighter Me, also. If I hadn't gone with Dr. Garcia, I would have chosen ALM.

I didn't really look at Dr. Zavalza that much, so I don't know that much about him.

Sorry, I don't have much more information than that.

Good luck with your WLS voyage, whichever way you go.

Way to go, guys! I've heard of most if not all the doctors you mentioned. They are amazing physicians, each of them excelling in one or more procedures. Please keep in touch and let us know how did everything go. We have a bariatric patient in our home and the more info we have on your experiences, the better. :)

I've heard good things about Dr. Lopez and Dr. Ortiz. I'm in Mexico now, had surgery yesterday with Dr. Fernando Garcia and everything has been good. I'm feeling very well, better than I expected!

Nothing to worry about, you are in excellent hands, I used him and have no regrets, him and all bp team treated me like a queen, I had no complications whatsoever, and Im loving my results, still way to go.

      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.
