@@michelledom, I never heard of Baja med. There are so many to choose from. I chose Dr, Fernando Garcia Govea because I did a lot of research on him to find anything good or bad and only find positive things. His price is great also. I'm paying only $4250.00 plus $500 for my gallbladder to be removed. Next year I'm going to have a full hysterectomy at hospital Angeles in mexico.

How did you get that price? I was quoted twice that with him.....

@, wow! I wonder why they quoted you that high?? If you go on their website at www.Tijuana Bariatrics. Com they have the prices listed. I think you pay extra if your BMI is over 40 or 50 plus if you do single ins surgery you pay an extra $1000 dollars. My BMI is 33. $8500 is too high! Were you going to get the sleeve or bypass?

I would highly recommend Dr. Fernando Garcia. He did my surgery in October 2013, and it was a great experience, with zero complications and goal weigh reached in 10 months. My son just had surgery with Dr Garcia on Thursday and and I accompanied him as support person. Everything has gone seamlessly, and my son is doing so well! We were discharged to hotel yesterday and he was ready to go walking around neighborhood less than 48 hrs after surgery.

I'm going to TJ in May to have my lap band converted to the sleeve. I had the lap band surgery almost 4yrs ago and have had nothing but complications. Im using Dr Corvala. Has anyone else used him and what was your experience?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
