Recommended Posts

I've been doing alot of research and I've been looking at Dr. Jose Rodriguez Villarreal In mexico alot I've heard and see alot people been/going to him, if you have been to him and had your surgery with him if you don't mind I would love to hear how everything went for you like how it all worked out with him being in Mexico and how it was there and how he was pretty much every detail you have and willing to share I'm really nervous and little scared. Thank you

I used him April 30th at Star Medica. He did a great job. I've not had any complications thus far.

I am scheduled for surgery October 10th. I am scared too, but like you I have seen and heard nothing but good things so I feel pretty good that all will go well.

Why was Juarez a deal breaker?

It went great! My husband and I both had surgery. We shared a suite. I was nervous about everything but it was all seamless. If you have any specific questions I would be happy to answer them.

My personal physician will do my 2x yearly blood tests. Other than that nothing. I had a lap band for 2 years and never saw the doctor for anything other than fills. I never utilized the $2000 after care program they made me purchase. Such a waste of money.

      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.
