That's great! Glad it went smooth for you and I'll be sure to add those things to my list. I'm exactly 1 week from mine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

#mburk72 mine was $6000 and they don't do insurance as far as I know they are an alternative for those of us whose insurance doesn't cover wls. Medical turism is a big thing in Mexico check out YouTube and just search bypass in Mexico there's a lot of info out there. I feel pretty confidant with my decision of doctors. Having it in the states was just out of the question for me because I would have been self pay. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well I started my pre op diet today. I totally forgot I had left over shakes from my failed attempt at Isagenix last year. So 2 of those and I had broth for dinner from some wonton Soup I ordered a couple days ago and didn't eat. Tomorrow I'll go to the two shakes and a salad with lean Protein for dinner. I guess I'm doing this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm getting ready to start mine in a day or two and with all the different ways to do it and all the different Protein drinks I was very overwhelmed. The down side of Mexico is not much support with this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm having my surgery, gastric bypass, April 28 in Mexico. I want to start the pre op diet this week to make sure I don't screw it up. What diet has everyone done? Just shakes all day? 2 shakes and a salad? What types and brands of shakes? What Vitamin supplements does everyone use? Anyone use the Patches? If anyone has a daily schedule they used for the pre op diet that would be helpful also. I've read countless articles and websites and all can be just a little different. Any other helpful info you want to share would also be greatly appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
