Bajanor Obesity Center



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has been to the Bajanor Obesity Center in TJ for the lap band? If so, could you give some info about the facilities and the dr's etc etc etc....I am still in the research stage of my journey, but have got the money saved and am ready to go! Thanks in advance for your input and support!

Check out the thread entitled:

Any one use Dr. Daniel Huacuz-Tijuana?

Though it's not completely about this subject, on the last couple pages of the thread, there is a recent discussion of this clinic.

Best in your search... :)

Hi Islandmom,

I almost went to Bajanour but could never get adequate responses from others who had been there to set my mind at ease. I changed at the last moment and went to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali because I got a good recommendation from others. What I had heard - from another respected Mexico clinic - was that the Bajanour clinic sometimes put in bands other than the Inamed without telling the patient this. And their experienced doctor is no longer with them (at least in late April he wasn't)

I really like Dr. Aceves - the only drawback is that it's 2 hours from San Diego and while they provide transportation from the airport, it was just a hassle...if there's availability with a clinic in Tijuana besides Bajanour, I'd look into that instead.

I paid 2k more than Bajnour's price but the peace of mind was worth it...I have had no complications.

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.
