@@Pejela Yeah, the liquid diet is challenging. You should feel better with time.

I slipped today we shall see what the scale says, I did walk for an hour so maybe that will make up for the slip

I am also going to the popular Dr A Oritz for August 5 th . So far so good on the pre op diet. I hit their goal today . So I should lose a tiny bit more by then. I will be going solo and am booked to stay at the Marriet from aug 4 to 10 ( staying one extra day due to flights) so if anyone else wants to meet up, feel free to PM me

@@michelledom, I never heard of Baja med. There are so many to choose from. I chose Dr, Fernando Garcia Govea because I did a lot of research on him to find anything good or bad and only find positive things. His price is great also. I'm paying only $4250.00 plus $500 for my gallbladder to be removed. Next year I'm going to have a full hysterectomy at hospital Angeles in mexico.

How did you get that price? I was quoted twice that with him.....

[Patricia A Garrick 12]

@, you were quoted twice that amount with Dr, Fernando Garcia Govea?

@, you were quoted twice that amount with Dr, Fernando Garcia Govea?

Yes, it was $8500..

[Patricia A Garrick 12]

@, wow! I wonder why they quoted you that high?? If you go on their website at www.Tijuana Bariatrics. Com they have the prices listed. I think you pay extra if your BMI is over 40 or 50 plus if you do single ins surgery you pay an extra $1000 dollars. My BMI is 33. $8500 is too high! Were you going to get the sleeve or bypass?

I would highly recommend Dr. Fernando Garcia. He did my surgery in October 2013, and it was a great experience, with zero complications and goal weigh reached in 10 months. My son just had surgery with Dr Garcia on Thursday and and I accompanied him as support person. Everything has gone seamlessly, and my son is doing so well! We were discharged to hotel yesterday and he was ready to go walking around neighborhood less than 48 hrs after surgery.
