My surgery is Feb. 19th and will be in Tijuana. My nurse practitioner went down with her mother last year and they let her observe the surgery. So I full confidence in being well taken care of. I do not have full confidence in how the outcome will be which is normal for any big surgery. My husband is going with me but I haven't told anyone else that I'm doing this.

The unfortunate thing about going to Mexico is I won't be able to eat any authentic Mexican food! ;)

I had my sleeve done in Mexicali. I have lived in both TJ and Mexicali it is not as crazy as the news makes it out to be. I have had better care in Mexico than I have by US doctors.
Good luck and much success.

A coworker had hers in Mexico and came back home and got sick and the doctors in the ER here didn’t want to touch her. It was crazy she had to find a doctor that helped her. I could not believe it. My surgery is today at 12:30pm. Good Luck!!!

      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.
