  1. :thumb: Good question, i would like to know more about this too!
  2. So im not the only one who gets puffy and bloated in the morning? I cant wait to be where you are! Well done! :thumbup1:
  3. Well I'm actually living in abu dhabi, so its easier to find american things! If its anything sugar free that's fine, ill keep looking to find stuff I like! Thanks.
  4. Ok, might seem like a stupid question, I am from the UK and we dont really drink stuff like that. Usually we drink diluting juices like robinsons or kiora. Can i just drink these or is there a special reason for drinking the powder type? I have seen tang. Is it the same kind of thing? Thanks a lot
  5. Hi John, this was my main worry too and i got some brill answers: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/13562-future-stomach-problems/page__p__115941__fromsearch__1#entry115941
  6. Thanks lucky, i have a pretty low pain threshold and i was getting worried, I am sure i will need plenty!
  7. Also Julies vlogs on youtube are great. Thanks julie! I find the was she speaks really comforting. I love reading everyones experiences but sometimes seeing someone who has been there done that and is doing just fine helps to ease me!
  8. Could the other posters who have been to dr kelly let us know about how their pain was managed? Has the nausea meds helped your sister? thanfully she has you there!
  9. I am just a private person. I am like this with lots of aspects of my life and this is no different. Im not ashamed or embarassed and if I was asked outright about it i would not lie, however, what i do to my body is no body elses business.
  10. Well its imperative that you get your sister comfortable. If i was you i would try to speak to dr kelly directly and raise your concers, there must be a hospital pay phone that you can use?
  11. Can you try to phone the coodinator, to put her on the phone to one of the nurses? Or phone Dr Kelly directly?
  12. Hey, Yeah its a pretty long flight, but im breaking it up and upgraded so i have more space to move about. Ill do 4 hours then rest then do the long one 13 hours the next day. Trying to not to worry about it and be really positive. I think a lot of people book last min so you still have a few weeks to find someone!
  13. Good Luck! Keep us all posted, we are thinking about you!
  14. Good Luck! When are you hoping for? Would be so good if someone from here was having surgery at the same time.
  15. Hello there! You sound as if everything is going great, i am planning on surgery with with Dr Kelly in April, i just still need to finalise flights and sort nerves out! Did you tell people at work that you had a holiday? Im hoping that I wont need to tell anyone anything, i went on a holiday, came back, realised that i looked awful in the holiday pictures so drastically changed my diet. Its no one elses business but mine. I can keep to myself in work though, it might be difficult for other people to do that. x Groove
  16. I am thinking of going then but am travelling alone. Wondering if anyone else is planning on going at that time? Thanks, Groove
  17. Hello! That is fantastic, so pleased everything went well! Did they give you good aftercare advice? Do you have a doctor at home to check up with?
  18. Ok i have been checking out your surgeon. Read your review and everything sounded fantastic! The only thing that is putting me off is that i will be coming on my own so i really want a whole package kind of thing where i will be picked up and dropped of at the hotel, someone to "hold my hand" when i need it! I had recieved some info from a place in india, whole deal is 6800 dollars and the flights from UAE to there are very cheap. There is still somthing drawing me to Mexico though. I am just hoping that things will fall into place and i will know when it is right to book and who with. Like you said in a post, this board has been wonderful, it is my bible at the moment! xxx
  19. Thanks Shaundra, Lokk forward to the vids. When do you get home to your daughter? I have been in touch with Melissa from Mt Zion (dr almanza), to be honest she is the only coordinator from tj who has answered all of my questions and concerns. If i hadnt read so much bad stuff i wouldnt think twice about doing it with him. Im thinking about you and wishing you a safe trip home! Groove
  20. Congrats!! I hope you are still doing so good. Do you mind me asking what made you change from dr kelly?
  21. Thanks a lot! Hope ur feeling good? I read ur other post & I'm having same prob as you had. I wanted dr ciarny with cosmetic bliss but my bmi is just 35 and at the moment are saying no. Did you ever think about going further for your surgery? The packages available in mexico are awesome, for so much cheaper but the long flight is putting me off!
  22. Congrats and well done! Do you mind me asking how much this cost in athens? Thanks
  23. Glad everything going ok bracan, i will be looking out to see how your flight back to canada goes. Safe journey. Groove
