I went to Tijuana 2 months ago and everything went great. Fyi there are quite a few posts on this site about going to Mexico for the surgery so you might enjoy browsing some of those for info. Good luck on your big day!

I went to Cancun early last month. My surgery went beautifully. The hospital was small but clean, and the doctors/nurses were great to work with. Everyone has different experiences, but I suspect you'll find that a majority of the people who have gone to Mexico had a fairly positive experience.

Keep calm, and try not freak yourself out.

      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?

      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.
