I suppose this could apply to any of the Doctors in Mexico, but do they give you a plan to follow before leaving Mexico, And do they give guidelines for when you may resume certain activities in writing?

My dr in mex did

Mine did as well. I also got a note form him for work. It worked out just fine.

I didn't really like the nutrition plan though, it focused too much on fruits for me, so I adjusted based on what others had gotten. I still kept to the 2 - 3 weeks liquids though and then mushies for 2 weeks and so on.

Dr. Kelly emails pre op and post op instructions and gives you a booklet to take home after surgery.

I also got detailed instructions for when I returned home from diet to activites. They give you a packet with all the information you need to understand what you have to do to succeed.

Dr Gonzalez does

Thank you all for information.

I was emailed one and given one after surgery, but I ended up going with another one which had a lot more information that was given to me at a seminar I attended in the US. I can email you a copy if you PM me.

Thanks sunny! I'm going to pass on this for the time being, as I've got some things I need to do before surgery, and I still have to make my date with Dr. Kelly. And from what I understand he'll supply the info I'll need to do this properly at that time. But I appreciate it!

I haven't even had the surgery yet, and I was given all the do's and don'ts for after surgery from nutrition (including ideas of what to have for each phase and when to start each phase), exercise, activities, lifting restrictions,. Its a whole book worth prob 60 pages.

SW is your surgery date set yet? Mine isn't, but I've been in communications with Omar for about a week 1/2.

Grammy, I have Dr K's post op guide, and its pretty good. If you have any questions you can msg me, pre and post op! Also, Omar is wonderful for filling in any gaps/questions you might have, I just spoke to him today, he always finds time for us post op patients as well!

Thank you! I'm shooting for the end of Oct. beginning of Nov. for surgery. I'm over 1/2 way there financially ( overtimes been kicking my buttocks), and emotionally just about 1/2 way there, and smoking I have a quit day for the 29th of this month (it'll be more than the one month requirement, and praying I make it)! Any how I will most likely be contacting you as the ball gets going in that direction a little more! I definitely know I will need a hand from time to time!
