Can someone please explain to me why these doctors move around in Mexico? I keep seeing posts from maybe two years ago when doctors worked with different doctors and now they are no longer affiliated with each other. Example being Dr Zavalza with BariatricPal. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm trying to figure out who I'm going to have surgery with but I just can't keep up. I need to make a decision. Would anyone like to list their Doctor here in Tijuana? Thank you.

Dr. jaime Ponce de leon. I went through WLS4betterlife.com(Trish) She was my coordinator when I had my sleeve surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly in 2010. Now, she works for Dr Ponce. She's amazing!

Dr. Illan with BariatricPal TeamMX. He has just been awarded for being one of the best bariatric surgeons in Mexico. He cares about his patients and treats every last one of them like family. Him and his surgical staff, which includes other bariatric surgeons are absolutely the best. He only does so many surgeries a day so he is not trying to rush patients through. And the other doctors and nurses at Oasis of Hope Hospital (a full service hospital, not a clinic) are so attentive and caring. They make sure you and a companion are well taken care of. He's the best!!!!!!

      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.
