Hi All, I was sleeved on the 5th. I can not get my Protein in. The shakes and the Isopure make me vomit. I dont know what to do. I am exhausted...Please give me some ideas. I was in the emergency room yesterday getting fluids. I can only get in hot tea and Water. Thanks so much!!! Denise B.

Hey guys, Well I made it...barely! lol I had my sleeve on the 5th with Dr. Aceves. The doctors, nurses, hospital and friends I made were amazing. I did have an allergic reaction to the anastesia. Other then thinking it was all over for me it was a great experience. lol They treated me sooo good and helped me thru the scarey experience. I had a reaction when i was a child but did not think to tell them so it is all my fault. Everyone was so good to me. I am back home now and as happy as can be. Other then being really really tired it is not bad at all! I will post some pics from the trip when I have a little more energy. Just wanted to give you guys an update that I made it home! Thanks so much for all of the prayers and support! Denise B.

You look great!!! Congrats..I am with everyone else..cute sweater too!

Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for the well wishes! I can not believe that it is our turn! So excited to get this journey started. I will post as soon as I can from Mexicali...Good luck and prayers for us all...Yay here we go.......... Denise B.

Well Hello everyone! Just wanted to touch base...I am leaving this Sunday for San Diego and my surgery is on Wednesday. That is only 7 days away! Yipppeeee! I am so excited to get this journey started. I started my low carb diet today. Whew I can not wait to start packing! Denise B.

Hi, I waited exactly 1 month to make sure that I was making the right decision. It made it easier to tell my family once they knew I did not jump into this life changing decision. I made my appointment in October with Nina and I am having my surgery one week from today. I am very nervous but know this is what I need to do.

Hello all, Ok..well one week from today i will be getting my sleeve! I leave for San Diego on Sunday. I can not believe that my turn has come. I am so nervous and excited that I have not been able to sleep or concentrate on anything else. I am really happy to just get it over with. It feels like I have been waiting forever! Denise B.

Hey Guys, I am leaving on the 2nd and spending a couple of days in San Diego. My sister Robin is coming with me. My husband is going to stay and take care of the kiddos. I am so excited to meet you all!! Denise B. from Maryland

Oops yes mine was $8750 also!

I am having surgery with Dr. Aceves on Jan 5th. I paid $8775 for my sleeve. This included my pre-op tests (EKG, Xrays and blood work), 1 night in hotel, 3 nights in hospital, surgery and transporation to and from the airport. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Denise B.

Hey Everyone! Wow the time is going so fast!!! Well I am getting everything ready for surgery... 1) I had a complete physical with my PCP. 2) I have all my Protein shakes, crystal light and Vitamins ready to go. 3) I am going on 10 days of no smoking! I am so proud of myself. I stopped cold turkey and I am doing great with it. 4) Airline tickets, rental car and hotel are all booked. I am ready to go!!

I wish I was able to have surgery in ths US. I still find it extremly hard to believe that insurance will not cover this. I am excited and frustrated all wrapped into one! I hope we all stay in touch and track eachothers progress. I am hoping to lose 100 pounds! I am ready for the surgery and the work that comes with it!!! Denise B.

Hello all, I am 2 months from having my surgery and so confused on the Protein. I have seen those Protein Drink shots. Would they be good to help get the protein in? I have received some of the shake packets. I was shocked at how much powder is in one serving. I was wondering if there was anthing you all are using that I could just add to my Water. Thanks in advance for the advice!

So has anyone decided what Vitamins and Protein shakes you are going to use? Also, If you having surgery in Mexico...Are you going to get a Physical here from your primary care doctor?
