Does anyone know about having lap band surgery in Mexico? I am self pay and it sure is cheaper?

my surgery is on the 29th, but the doctor didn't say anythign about liquids yet. I have my pre op appointment with him on the 21st which is just over a week before. I would imagine he would put me on liquids then. Go****ried to do it today but that is some tough stuff. I had my very first Isopure this morning. Actually not too bad. But by lunch I had crashed and got some real food. But I am trying to stay off the carbs and just do protein. Is it a standard to be on liquids at least a week before? btw, Sherry, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow.

Good Afternoon everyone. I just wanted to say congratulations to Amanda I hope all goes well. And you are right, less time to be excited. Sadie, you just gave me the best idea. I never thought of purchasing measuring spoons and a small blender. I am going to be right on it online. I was sitting here dreading the taste of my son's baby food of which I am sure he does not want to share. LOL

Hi Robin, I too was told a very high amount, I think 365. I called the surgeons office and they say it needs to be high due to the fact they take away the ability to absorb. They said I would have to ask for it at the pharmacy dept. I still feel that is too much and am going to contact the Nut about this. Good luck and let me know what you find out, and I will, as well. Thanks, Wanda

Hey Steve, Wow 300 lbs that is great. I don't know a lot about DS surgery but I do have a friend who just had VSG and loves it. I had RNY two weeks ago and things are going well, but I wish I had a doctor who would have done the VSG. Lisa
