I had my sleeve done in Tijuana Mexico

for $4400 ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGE

Included an escort from the airport or border to our 5 star hotel which was also included along with bariatric diet food while there, the lab work, the pain meds, the surgery and a nurse came to my hotel daily to check on me and all the other WL patients that were there for their surgery and the doc checked me out before I left Mexico heading back to California. My surgeons name:

DR LOUISIANA Valenzuela

SUPER HAPPY WITH THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE AND SURGERY!! I highly recommend her.

If you are in the US go to Dr. Shillingford in boca Raton. Flat fee of $10,500 covers everything and he and the nurses/hospital were awesome. He is trying to keep people from going to Mexico because of complications and got this special discount rate. Very highly recommended and rated

That sounds like a pretty good deal. I know there are some great surgeons in Mexico, but if there's a complication, I would rather deal with a surgeon in the US where there is real accountability. It might be worth the extra money over having it done in Mexico. I was lucky enough to get my procedure covered under insurance, but if I didn't I would probably consider something like this or Blossom in Las Vegas over Mexico.

I am currently waiting for surgery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia-just under 2 hours to go. The surgeon that I am using-Dr. Gee- came highly recommended by Australians and Brits because they travel here frequently. He has done WLS on over 1500 patients. It was cost effective to me as I reside in China full time-an ESL teacher-so we were coming to Malaysia for winter holiday. My whole experience thus far has been very positive-it was under 3 weeks from my initial inquiry to today, the cost was just under $8000 but this didn't include my travel expenses but again, we were coming here anyway so I would have been out that expense either way.

      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.
