I am 62 yrs, height 5 feet 6, weight 230, BMI just over 35. Have been in low carb diet for ten days, start pre op diet 10/19, surgery 11/2 with Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana. Went for a visit and consult several weeks ago and was satisfied by what I saw and heard. Dr. Ortiz spent 30 minutes with us and also met with nutritionist and internal med physician. Nervous anyway!

NMGAZ,

I am excited for u, I wish I was brave enough and had a friend to go to mexico since I am a self pay and it is costing me a small fortune, I am 54 , 200 lbs and only 4ft 11. My date is Nov 10 also with a hiatal hernia repair which I see ablot of people have. I wonder if weight is the culprit for hernia? Any way best of luck and was happy to read I am not the only person over 50 who wants this.

Munc0911 - while visiting the clinc I met two women who had travelled there alone for surgery the next day. I guess this is not unusual, and the driver brings patients from the San Diego Airport and transports between clinic and Marriott. Hotel offers appropriate foods for surgical patients and is accustomed to their stays.

I was informed yesterday that my insurance was approved for 11/19. I was a little bit scared after I got the call from my doctors office to schedule surgery and my final pre-op and all post-op appointments along with pre-surgery labs and X-rays but I am keeping my eye on the prize and looking forward to living a healthier life.

      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.
