Hi ryannryann! How do you like the coordinators at alighterme? I booked through Mexicobariatriccenter and my main coordinator has been quite disappointing.

Hi Ckcslvur!

Congratulations! I hear dr. Ponce de leon is a very experienced surgeon! It's normal to feel apprehensive, I feel the same way, but if you've researched Dr. Ponce you'll know your in good hands! Are you taking a support person with you?

So far so good. As soon as I signed up I got an immediate phone call and email with all the needed information in detail.

I am not taking anyone with me. I am a single mom so need my mother to stay home with my daughter and I don't want to ask anyone to pay airfare and such. ...so going alone.

Totally understand. Even though you don't have a support person to come with you a good percentage of people who have gone through the same experience have left really great reviews of how helpful people were. I'll be pretty much alone as well since my husband will be staying with our children, but I think about how I'll be in good hands and how this is going to be better in the long run! Think happy thought! God bless!

Great! Would you please let me know how everything went? I've read good things about Dr. Cabrera but to actually talk to someone who just went through it would be nice! Good luck & God bless!

Yup! But are you also part of Mexico Bariatric support group on Facebook? There are tons of people on there who've already had the surgery and had Dr. Cabrera.

My sleeve surgery is March 24 with Dr. Rodriquez in Tijuana. This will be my second surgery with Dr. R and coordinators from "Beliteweight". I trust Dr. R and have had no issues with them. Excited and nervous! The sleeve is a big deal.

Hey April peeps....I got this idea from one of the vlogs I follow, but I'm wondering if you would be interested in doing an April Facebook support group. Since we're doing our surgery around the same time, we'll be experiencing similar things and we can check in with each other about the different stages. What do you think?

      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.
