My BMI wasn't 50, but they instructed me to go low cal for one week prior. But I blew it really bad. I was afraid they wouldn't do the surgery, but they were really nice about it. It all depends on the patient, doctor and the doctor's level of experience, I suppose.

As far as the Molding Clinic, couldn't they have at least given it a better name? I've never heard of the clinic or the doctor, but if you have concerns, why not go to another doctor in TJ for about 8 grand instead of the 16 grand you'd pay at home? Many people rave about at least two very popular doctors in Mexico. Maybe it would be worth the extra 2 grand for peace of mind, while still saving half the cost of getting it at home?

Clever indeed to capture our attention with a title like that one!

My insurance had an exclution also. I ended up using Dr. Spivac out of Houston and love that decision esp. after hearing all the night mare after care stories from the Mexico patients. I paid around 13,000 for the proceedure that covers 1 year after care also.

I was'nt instructed to go on any particual diet except dont eat after midnight the night before surgery. Then I joined this furum and seen all there restictions and was amazed at my docs POV on things. I appreciate his profesional capabilities it does surprise me how relaxed he is about things. But I have faith that he knows what he is doing. So far so good.
