I recently went down to Tijuana for a weightloss procedure. Andres Betancourt is the patient coordinator there. Besides having the procedure, I had a great time! Stayed in a lovely hotel to recuperate, and Joel came and took myself and another family on a tour around the city to see the sites and to go shopping. They really take care of everything, it was so nice to have such a smooth trip. Andres arranged the flight, the hotel and the procedure. If you have any questions about this clinic, I strongly urge you to call Andres. He always returned my calls promptly and answered all of my questions I had about this procedure. In my experience, they are wonderful people that really seem to care about their patients. I have to go back down later this summer and I can't wait to see how much weight I have lost by then, and can't wait to see everybody again. If anyone has any questions about the clinic please feel free to contact me and I will try to answer what I can. I had looked into another doctor/clinic in Tijuana first, but was not happy with the answers to the questions I had. I'm so glad I found Andres and the Molding Clinic!:banana

Wow. I think it's amazing that so many people stick up for the Molding Clinic. What's interesting is that most of the people that do so have 1 post.

Imagine our luck! They stumble upon our site, find a post about the place where they had their procedure at, then they take the time to post about how wonderful Adres is (they always mention this -- he must be awesome) and how perfectly everything went there.

Most of them never post again. Again, how lucky we are that they just happen to find the posts about Molding Clinic and are able to offer us their (wonderful) experiences before leaving without ever posting another message.

Lucky lucky lucky are we!

Hey Jonathan,

Sounds like you are on the right path both in mind, in the physical sense and in the financial sense..We are right behind you in each sense of the word.

I post only what I truly belive, I have been there and have experienced the clinic myself. If I truly did not believe that what I have said was not going to be of benefit to anyone else I really would not have posted. I have looked through this site for some time and have never posted, but have chatted through email with others regarding different clinics to help me make my choice. So, this is what I am doing now. Hoping my experience will help others make the right choice for them whether it is to go to the clinic I went to or another. I am here hopefully to meet and make new friends, and to support those that have gone through what I have, and vice versa. I am not here to have posts ridiculed by someone that obviously does not know me, especially since as it was mentioned that it was my first time posting. Sorry if my opinion offended anyone, it was not intentional. I thought this site was about support and I only wanted to share how great I was feeling at this time in my life after my procedure, and I do truly feel that my experience was made more pleasant by those that assited me through this time at The Molding Clinic. I don't wish to get into any arguments or any sort of wars on this chat, but seeing as it was my first time posting, I thought a little background info about where I went etc may be helpful to somebody else.

      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.
