    How long do we need to go on pre op diet? Also please share any usefill tips like ideas for pre op food and also things to take along to hospital etc. I already made a list of things like mouth wash, lipbalm, something for gass. Also cause I'm from south africa we have summer of about 42 degrees in january, what is the weather like in mexico in january?

    The pre-op diet was for 2 weeks. I am doing the 1st week on liquids (soups, protein drinks, greek yogurt) and then just clear liguids the day before my surgery. Yesterday hubby and I went shopping for my trip. I'm taking gas-x thin strips, Sublingual B Complex, a travel pack with shampoo, conditioner,ect, laptop, slippers. You can go to Tijuana Weather, Current Conditions and Temperature - weather.com and it will give you the weather for Tijuana.

    My pre-op diet was for one week only. I am sorry to say that I didn't stick to it. I have done amazing after my sleeve though. I have lost 44 lbs as of today in a little under 2 months. All after my sleeve seeing I didn't lose any with the pre-op that I didn't stick to. Good luck to you all!!!

    @Smitlien GAS-X THIN STRIPS Gas-X® Thin Strips | Gas-X® Maybe you can buy them at the Airport in San Diego... From what I understand they don't sell them in Mexico either.

    Smitlien-gas x strips are,for the air in your stomach.thats most of the pain you will be feeling is the air that they pump in you.and gas x strips are like bean-no,anti-burp medication.

    ladies and gents advice take a laxative before surgery it does help with gas. I had gas for four days only. Pre-op diet is two weeks. Do your best I know you all won't be able to do it 100% and don't get down if that is the case. Just try to follow the pre-op best you can. If you need the pre-op diet email me your email I will send you pre-op and post-op diets. Feel free to call me anytime, or PM me. Gas-X I didn't need them at all, they help with gas from what I hear. Any questions hit me up.

    weather is cold same weather in san diego is the exact weather in TJ, or Tijuana. To bring clothes to fly home in, underwear, I brought my own soap, deoderant, they provide towels . I would advise socks, sports bra for ladies. That is the basics if you have a tablet, laptop, ereader there is free wifi. US DOLLARS WORK IN TJ don't worry about pesos or exchange etc. US dollars spend like pesos. Any other questions? Trying to answer them all.

    Hello bettysgirl I will be staying at the holtel real del rio. India told me I only have to do the pre op for 1 week but I will also do it for 2 weeks just to be safe. Igetting verry nervous about surgery, but also verry excited! You're lucky your husband is travelling with you, my fiance has to work and the flight tickets to SAN dis verry expensive! I will be staying a few extra days, hope will be ok when its time to fly back to SA, its a verry long fight!

    I just found this site and Dr. Q's name today. I'm SOOOOOOOOOO glad I did! I have been in contact with Weightlossagents.com and after reading reviews about Dr. A, that they work with in Tijuana, I knew that he is not the Dr. for me. Dr. Quinones and his staff sound fantastic. I have to self pay and save my money, but I'm already excited. I will be calling his office tomorrow. Thank you all for your comments!
