My response keeps disappearing from this thread when I post it. My fabulous surgeon in Tijuana, Mexico was Dr. Ramos Kelly. I had a great experience and no complications. I stayed at Hospitale Angeles for a few days and then at Hotel Lucerna for a couple of days. He visited me twice a day in the hospital and once a day at the hotel. Since returning home Dr. Ramos Kelly has still provided guidance and answered questions when I needed it. The care I received was better than most US surgeons and hospitals. Do your research and you'll find the best qualified clinician for you. Good luck!

Excellent experience with Dr Garcia of Tijuana Bariatrics. Very good care and everything has gone super well post. I chose single incision, which I'm quite pleased with.

I had my surgery with Dr. jaime Ponce de leon Palomares, surgery and hospital stay was at Hospital Angeles (which we did pay more for- my fiancé insisted on the biggest/nicest hospital). He was very nice and friendly and so was his assistant Sergio. Absolutely 0 complications and I'm 2 weeks out. Stitches and drain wound almost entirelt healed and looka like there will br almost no visible scars for me. The Drs and staff were very nice and even those who did not speak English at least tried - and to be fair my spanish is not fluent, but they appreciated me trying and it was enough to get by (Google translate worked when there were words we didn't know how to translate!)

      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.
