Anyone having surgery in April 2016 in Tijuana Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Hi! First-time poster here. I have an appointment with the bank tomorrow. If my loan gets approved, I'm getting a VSG with Dr. Ariel Ortiz, from the Obesity Control Center. Spoke with him on the phone yesterday, seems like a great guy; his credentials are very impressive too.

I really hope I get approved. I'm terrified!

I'm going with Dr. Pasten in Tijuana on 4/15/16. He works out of Green & Health Hospital. I don't have FB yet but I plan to sign up this weekend just so that I can communicate with other sleevers. I want to document my experience from start to finish! [emoji4]

I'm having my surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz on March 24th. I have researched, asked questions, and researched some more and I feel very comfortable with my decision to go with Obesity Control Center. I hope your loan comes through! Such an exciting step. I would be happy to tell you all about my experience once I have the surgery!. :) Jamielogic had surgery with OCC and she was very helpful in giving me info. Us sleevers gotta stick together!

hey guys... started an April Sleevers group on Facebook. It's a secret group which means no one can find it except for members. Translation... it's a safe place. Since we're all having surgery April 2016, this group was created so we can stay in touch throughout our journey. We can compare notes, share stories and give each other tips .... or just an encouraging word.

Anyway...if you're an april sleever and would like to be added to the group, just send me your email and I'll send you an invite.

      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.
