Hello to all! I'm Miss Polly from the lovely state of Ohio. I just started my research and will probably go with Dr. Zapata in Monterrey, Mexico. Any thoughts on him and his staff, anyone?:ranger:

I was banded by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali Mexico on the 22nd - this past Monday. I can't say enough good about this doctor and his staff and the Hospital Almater. Dr. Aceves and his staff were top notch. Everything was exactly as they said it would be with good nurses, private room at the hospital and personable doctors to work with from the anesthesia doctor to Dr. Aceves accompanying doctor to Dr. Aceves himself. I would definitely recommend this doctor for your band surgery.

Dr. Zapata, his staff, and the hospital are all first rate.

      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.
