Hi, all! I'm wanting to get banded sometime this year when freight slows down. I wear glasses and smoke. I don't know what else to say, but I look at most of the posts so I don't go into this blindly.

My huband and I will be taking a load to CA then going to TJ for hthe procedure.

Hope everyone is doing well and keep up the posts.

Hi welcome to the forum,the wearing glasses should not be a problem but my Dr. made me quit smoking 2 weeks prior to my surgery which was very hard I wore the patch and Dr. also prescribed Zyban.I not sure if all Dr. require this but he will let you know the requirments.My brother is also thinking about going to Mexico for the surgery but hasn't contacted any Dr. yet.Keep me informed of your progress.

I have been in contact with a gentleman that works with Drs. in TJ and will be setting things up as soon as the freight slows down. That may be awhile, but yeah I didn't gain all this weight over night and planning is the key here.

We (my husband and I) we considering going to Monterrey, but the logistics weren't right for us.

Has anyone else been to Drs. in TJ?

I hope I don't have to quit smoking. I know it irritates the stomach, but what else can a person do driving down the road and you've run out of music to listen to. Will cross that bridge if/when need be.

Take care and be safe.

      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.
