Anyone else having surgery June 11 at Tijuana bariatrics?



Recommended Posts

Hi I am interested in how everything went.

I'm thinking about going with Dr Fernando Garcia as well. I would love to hear about your experience!

Everything actually went great. I had watched so many YT vids it felt like I had been there before lol. The only thing I found different was that there was much more of a language barrier in the hospital than I'd expected. A couple of the nurses spoke no English. It wasn't a problem just made me feel very alone ( my mom flew into San Diego, but I crossed the border alone ) Everyone was very nice and accommodating from the hospital, to the hotel, down to the drivers. It was well organized and definitely changed my whole perception of Tijuana.

As for healing I am feeling somewhere between 85%-90%. Im in almost no pain. Yesterday made a week so I'm happy with that! The all liquids post op, had me really weak at first. Today was the first day I've left the house for errands and such. Luckily I'm a teacher so I have a little extra time to get back to normal. I'm going to a wedding tomorrow, but Sunday I WILL revisit the gym.

Hw was 265 sw was 255 today a week later I'm 245!

... lol I hope I answered something. I feel this was all over the place. I took many pics and vids, I will try to have them on yt soon. I'll keep you posted. Let me know if there is anything else you'd like to know.

      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.
