So after 4 years oF wanting wls, and 2 yrs of active research. I have a date and I am trying to talk myself out of it. All morning I have been reminding myself of all the other things I "should do with this kinda money" feeding myself the "is this the beat use of it" question. Somewhere in there I know it is, I didn't expect to attack myself on this. Lol. Whew. I just need to hang in there and stay focused. Right? Pasquini.

how is the liquid going? I start my 2 week preop liquid on the 29th soo not looking forward to it..

Me? Yea I am having the sleeve just seems to make so much more sense.

Heck, yeah. I paid more for my motor cycle! Looking forward to bein a sleek GTO.

Congrats. Yes I get the emotions and such. I have been bouncing around in my head all day. I'm sure it will increase as the day approaches but I am focusing on my kids and how much freaking fun. We r gonna have when I am able to go and do whatever they want! I can't wait! Here's to our being big ol losers!!!! Woot!

Btw, how r u doing so far?

I'll keep ya posted. Thx for the recommendation. I spoke with her this morning and felt good about the choice. My sister is going with me and is a vegetarian and Nina was very assuring that that would not be te slightest problem that she would be as well cared for as I would be. I'm gonna start a video blog next week and document everything. Thx again

Well I love to cook so I am tryin to figure way to continue cooking and enjoying that with the new restrictions. I love Pho (Vietnamese soup) so I am thinking I can make some of that, and maybe some basic chicken stock.

I plan to video the trip so people considering Mexico can get a real feel for the process and know what to expect. I suppose I will set up a YouTube channel. I'll post a link once it's up.

My surgery is May 14th for those of u that have been through this already, I have a question for u. During the clear stage. How much broth do I need? I am planning to make a giant pot of homemade broth. An strain it and freeze ahead. But don't know how much I will need for those 7-10 days. Any thoughts. I figure I can produce better nutrient dense broth than in a can. Pasquini

May 14th! I have gone from not know if I would ever be able to afford this, to a date in less that a month. I am going to Jerusalem clinica in TJ. I plan to begin a video blog this coming week. Pasquini

I have emailed with Nina, looking at possibly may 14th! Holy cow! I have gone from not sure when I would be able to do this, to wow look at my tax return, I'm going next month!

Husky2healthy. Bwaha. I so wore those. Lol. Man it hated those. Those and rustler. Yes it certainly seem that women are the majority around here. Whuch I'm ok with I suppose. I went to a mostly womens college in the south, which worked out very well unless u got stuck holding the door after chapel, u were there holding the door for 10 min unless some other fella was dumb enough to try to walk through it. Lol

Quints: I wanted to ask u a question or two. I two have been looking into the doctors u used. I suppose there are various coordinators. I basically clicked on the advertisement link here on the main page that advertises for 4499.00. Ive begun talking with Melissa, in the info she sent me it says they do not over sew the suture line, u mentioned that they did all three methods (which I think I like the idea of) u did go to Jerusalem clinics correct? Dr Mario almanza? Thanks Pasquini

I'm sorta in is this real mode. Good luck and Godspeed on Ur surgery.

Hello, I have lurked around here for a while, taking sips of information like so many of you with you protein shakes. I feel I know some of you already. So I thought to myself. "hey, introduce yourself to these lovely folks, and join in on the ride." I am like many of you am a life long overweight fella, done the diets, listened to the little people expond the virtues of eating less, moving more, all the while thinking, "yeah, ok toothpick boy with the memory foam office chair molded to your half a cheek butt, come spend one day fabricating and installing granite countertops with me and then talk to me about moving more while I carry you back to the truck after the work day" I mean really, why is it that skinny people never know how little they are? always talking about needing to lose 5 more pounds? Don't they get how small they are? When's the last time you heard one of our metabolicly hyper-efficient-selves say something that indicates we do not know our size? heck i do every time some skinny person gives me advice or bemoans the need to lose another few lbs, I hold my gut and say, yeah, I so get that, If I could just gain 5 more lbs I'd be so happy, right where I need to be sheesh look in a mirror people. lol, oh sorry I digress Anyway, so I have been researching surgery for 4 yrs, lapband was my first choice, then about a year ago I started looking at the sleeve and decided that was the way I wanted to go. I have been looking forward to the day when I could begin this journey, your stories have helped me stay focused on the goal (i'm self-pay) well i just filed my taxes and with the return will finally have enough (if i go with the dr. that advertises here for 4400.00) to have the surgery. To say I am excited is like saying the moon is kinda big. I am both excited and nervous all at once, at 39 I thought that feeling was gone with, prom, my wedding night and size less than 50 pants. So, im 39, 5'8" was 310 at my heavyest 18 months ago, I have lost 40lbs since my heaviest, but have been stuck here for 10 months. I am looking forward to this journey, toward, health, comfortable airplane rides, amusment parks, sitting on the floor without a wall to lean on, a sexy self, well ok really who knows, i have never been little and i could get then and then be ugly, i mean hey, there are alot of skinny people that are not so umm, well, not ugly. Anyway, Thought i'd say hi and introduce myself. Pasquini
