I traveled to Mexico for my sleeve, since I was self-pay. It was about $6500 USD, but I went with one of the most expensive surgeons in Mexico.

Which surgeon?

How did you feel about your surgeon? What kind of follow-up do fid you receive

I honestly only met and interacted with my surgeon right before I was wheeled into the OR. He seemed really friendly and put me at ease. But all of my pre and post-op communication was with the on-staff nutritionist, cardiologist, and radiologist. They answered all my nutritional and medical questions. The nutritionist followed up with me regularly to check my progress and make sure I was on track with what I should be eating and taking my Vitamins. And even now, 20 moths post-op, I know I could email and receive a reply within the hour. They also sent me questionaires frequently in the beginning and then further apart asking me things about whether I had and pain or nausea or difficulty getting fluids in. If any of my answers to those questions were cause for concern, then one of the doctors would call me. My PCP has done all of my follow-up blood work and I've sent that back to OCC to keep in my file.

      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.
