The Pre-liquid diet is to help lose. Some abdominal fat as well as shrink liver prior to the surgery. I am having my sleeve done in New Jersey so I'm not exactly sure what they require in Mexico maybe you can call to find out.

My doctor is having me do a five shake Liquid Protein diet two weeks prior to my surgery date on June 11. I can also have sugar free crystal light and sugar-free Jell-O and Water and sugar-free ice pops:)

Hi- I had my surgery in Mexico 12 days ago. They do require a pre-op diet and for you to fill out a questionnaire. They will contact you as well. I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Quinones and his staff. PM if you have any questions.

Why do people go to Mexico for surgery?

If they don't have insurance/insurance doesn't cover wls and they need a cheaper cost I believe

We go to Mexico for various reasons. For me it was lack of insurance, some people' insurance won't cover it, and some don't want to spend the money when there are qualified doctors in Mexico. My parents have their own - very successful business- but since we are Mexican have always trusted the doctors and felt that the care is really good and without insurance has been a great option. I have basic care in the states but without surgery I was basically facing higher costs with insulin medications and constant sickness. I wish I could have done it in the states but I have no regrets of going across the border. I'm 13 days post op and hit 20 pounds 30 counting preop diet today. It's a choice for some of us who may not have had another.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
