I used Tijuana bariatrics. And they did respond via email when I let them know I was admitted for pancreatitis. The problem was that they recommended to have some tests done to make sure there were no gall stones and no leaks. But the dr here canceled all of my tests and told me to follow up with the Drs in Mexico.

But I never was checked for leaks before I left because I didn't have any abdominal pain and I could tolerate food before I left. They have me fluids while there but they fed me the whole time so if NPO is treatment of pancreatitis then they didn't do a good job treating me. Lol.

I wonder how doctors get away with that. What are your legal options? Hope you are doing better.

That is weird. I had a PICC line and TPN for a week. That's when diabetes raised its ugly head also.

      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.
