I just scheduled my surgery today with Dr. Maytorena in Tijuana, Mexico. I'm really nervous and excited to finally have this amazing tool in my weight loss journey. So far the staff has been very nice and extremely helpful. Rubén is my coordinator and has answered any questions that I've had. All of my paperwork and receipts have been sent to me promptly.

I'm 12 days away from this life changing surgery! I must admit I'm getting ready to start my preop diet in a few days and I've kind of had a food funeral the last few days. Has anyone else done this? I saw my PCM this morning and got his blessing! I'm so excited.

I have my surgery next Monday so I'm less than a week away!! I started my preop diet and I have to say it's a little rough. I don't like a lot of the food that are on there. Cottage cheese is a hard no for me. I just can't do it. It's the texture and the taste. What did your doctor have you do for your preop diet?

At what time they took you back to the airport on your return
And also how much clothes you brought in?
I am just wondering That you may be ok the regular diet now, if you are. I was reading in the instructions after liquid diet and it said that you must eat 5 small meals. I find this so hard. Are you managing to get 5 small meals in a day
