Anyone buy vitamins in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has purchased Vitamins in Mexico and/or if there was a significant cost difference. I'm only a little over an hour from the border and wondering if it might be worth the trip.

I'm not sure about the Vitamins but....my hubby had his WLS in Juarez, Mexico in June. Well, it was not a good experience, to say the least. He had to bring $50.00 to the hospital besides paying cash for his surgery, the $50 was for pain meds after he was discharged. They didn't help at all. It was like they didn't have the ump that the U.S. had. When we left our driver (who was Hispanic) lived in El Paso but went to Mexico to buy his prescriptions because of the cost difference. If you are looking for a good deal on your Bariatric Vitamins you should check online. I buy Celebrate capsules for $15.00 a bottle of 90. I usually buy 4 bottles at a time so I don't have to pay S/H. I really don't think that is to high.

      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.
