Self Pay - Post Op Follow-up Visits

I'm having the surgery in Mexico. Does anyone know how the post-op visits work? Meaning, when you're post-op do you check in with your PCP to have them look at your incisions? Also, what's everyone doing pre-op as far as dieting? Are you trying to lose weight on your own prior to the surgery, are you enrolled in a program or are you waiting until the pre-op liver shrink before you give up the food?

  • Even with going to Mexico, your surgeon should give you specific preop and postop instructions. I was given a detailed preop diet to follow and a preop weight loss requirement as well as a postop die

  • Very insightful. This eases my mind a bit. Thank you very much.

@@Hetera , I am drinking Arbonne Chocolate with 2 teas Chia seeds and 1/2 of a banana. Sometimes I add a cup of vanilla Greek yogurt. It is really good and is doing the trick! Zero cravings, ZERO cheats so far and only 4 days to go!
