Hi all - have any of you heard of WLF Medical in Mexico? It's not the cheapest place to go to, but I believe it may possibly be the most modern and safest clinic. It's the only one I've researched though - a friend of mine told me about it as she was frustrated with yo-yo dieting and asked her doctor about the sleeve. Her doctor recommended this place. I'm in Canada and the CEO of this clinic is Canadian. I was quoted $13,600 for just me (no companion), however if you look on the website they show a comparison of their surgery facilities vs the cheaper options. Now I just have to come up with the money!

(Although this surgery is free in Canada the approval process and wait time is just way too long - can be years in fact).

They go through Dr. Pompa (LIMARP). You can go direct and pay 1/2 of that price.

Thank you for your reply Alex. How do you go direct? When I used the contact link I (think) I left an email and somebody contacted me - can't remember exactly. It was a facilitator. Since a doctor here recommended this place to my friend I felt that perhaps it was a safe place. Do you have any information on it other than being a clinic vs hospital? And does that make a difference?

Sending you a PM with the surgeon's direct contact info.

      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.
