Hello Cantwaittolose, This forum did the same thing form me. I leave for Tijuana in the morning and am so excited to get this done. I was a single mom forever and my kids are all grown and like you it is time for me. I have 100lbs to lose. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

Thanks to you all, I am on day 3 of the liquid pre-op and I let a lack of confidence moment take hold. I agree if my MD won't support me then it is time for a new MD. I was looking for reassurance and you gave it to me. June 18th is the day!

You are looking great!!

I am not sure he will be thrilled but supportive. I did not want to face scrutiny or try another conventional "diet" or read another Feel good book. So I made the decision after much research and soul searching. I have not been so sure of a decision in a long time! Taking control is what I am focusing on!!

I just got my date this afternoon, July 17th with Dr garcia! Im super excited!! Im also a little freaked out because I have to go by myself. Hubby is staying home with the kids and all of the close people in my life are working or I have yet to tell them.. im being really picky on who I tell because people are so opinionated and don't take into consideration peoples feelings anymore, or we get the why cant you just diet and excersize... I did.. about 100 times and obviously its not working lol My friend had her sleeve done in January and she is so pleased.. now its my turn. I cant wait to buy a pair of jeans that is a single digit size! Any July buddies??

Well I made it through surgery and have gone for a walk. I just have to say that I'm so proud of all of us for doing this. I think it can be a tough decision to make and I know that my last 24 hours were a bit nerve wracking. I'm excited that we have this opportunity to live a healthier life. Am I feeling sentimental or is it the drugs talking?? At any rate, I hope everyone is recovering well and good luck to tomorrow's group, you'll do great.

We are sleeve sisters, surgery the same day!! I am in calgary, Alberta,Canada Going to Tijuana for my surgery with Dr. Garcia. My new life begins!!

I hope I am not alone when I talk about this, I feel a little sad but alot happy today as it is the last day of bad habits. While I look forward to a new life, a new outlook, a new healthier me. I look at the great menus as I throw them out, had a subway sandwich today (not the healthiest one either), enjoying a glass of my favorite white wine (oh ok a bottle...no not a habit just cannot waste anything) food has been there comforting me for all the ups and downs, good and bad, happy and sad. So today I am saying good bye to something that has been there for me no matter what! Seriously GOOD-BYE!! You have made me feel worse about myself, hate what I see in the mirror, you have taken away my confidence and self esteem....so yes GOOD-BYE!!

Nicely done chicka!

Good Luck to all the June 4th sleevers, speedy recovery. Looking forward to hearing from you!!

It is so good to hear from the June sleevers who have gone so far, all seems to be going well! June 18th is coming along quickly. As everyone else is noting I too am a little nervous and anxious, glad I am normal. Good luck to the June 7th sleevers ((Hugs)).

You look fabulous!

I will be at the Marriot.

Still waiting to be approved for June 18th in Tijuana with Dr. Garcia. Fingers crossed.

I was just confirmed for June 18th with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana! Whoop! Whoop!

June 18th!! Just found out this morning!!

You have made the right decision with dr Garcia...good luck...so far I lost 2lbs a day since surgery, no pain, all healed just tiny little scratches where the surgery was...I manage a jewellery store and was back exactly one week later and now added 3 miles walking a day for 3 days.
Keep us posted

My decision is made due to the fact that it is a full service hospital. I am certain I will not need the services but grateful they are close by just to be safe.
