I am wanting to get surgery with Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. Two of my friends have gone to him and have LOVED their experience with this practice as well as with their results. I am an insulin dependant diabetic who has always struggled with maintaining my ideal weight. (A BMI of 22-24) I just cannot stand obsessively thinking/ living around calorie counting and restricting my daily activity to keep my weight under control. (I find I pass on eating out with my friends, etc. because I fear I need to stay in and try to work out or eat healthy not to gain) I am actually under the BMI of 30. I am about a 28. I was wanted to schedule the appointment and try to get my BMI up a few weeks before the surgery so I would be at the 30 BMI. I am worried however that I will lose too much during the pre-diet. I just dont want to fly all the way out to Mexico to be sent home. Does anyone have any advice or experience with how much of a stickler these docs in Mexico are about performing the surgery? I know the US is 100% exact needed qualifications but is there any room to budge for the physicians in Mexico.
