Is anyone traveling March 8th to Tijuana?



Recommended Posts

I am going in March, but a week later. Please keep us posted on how you do. I am having the sleeve by Dr. Illan as well.


Ok good luck to you! Four of my very good personal friends have successfully had the procedure done with the same doctor and they are all doing so fabulous. So I'm super excited and can't wait to go!

Sunbrezer, I am scheduled to be there March 9th with Dr. Ilan. I am very nervous about it. I’m flying with my husband. I hope I have chance to see you.

Awesome! I'm nervous about going by myself. My husband is staying home with our kids . My friend suggested reaching out on the app looking for people that is traveling around the same time . Hope to get to meet you when you get there

Oh wow! I'm driving as I only live a couple hours away. Where are you staying Thur night? I haven't decided if I am driving Thur night or Fri morning. Don't really want to sit in traffic after not eating or drinking.

I'm flying in on Thursday and actually having surgery the same day. So I'll be in the hospital that day. I feel the same way about being in an airplane all morning and not having surgery until that afternoon that's going to be challenging not eating or drinking anything either.

      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.
