Do you still recommend Dr. Fok Russell? There’s so little information on him I’m worried I’m going to be scammed.

YES
I still talk to them and ask questions, etc. I have zero regrets and am happy with the choice that I made.

A dear friend of ours is friends with Dr Fok. When I told my friend I was considering WLS she got giddy and the idea that her friend do the surgery. I was like, hold on turbo. Then I started my research. I'm about ready to schedule my surgery. I was wondering if you had your surgery and how it went? I'm 2,200 miles from this clinic so I'm a little aprehensive about having surgery then flying home. Any insight is appreciated.

I wasn't scammed. There is actually information out there on him. It is how I found him.

I spent almost 3 hours just hanging out with him in recovery.

They don't advertise in Mexico like they do here. The medical field is not seen as a way to make money as it is here. It is an occupation that pays but viewed different.

I literally have nothing negative to say at all except I wish I would of went earlier.

      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.
