I can't believe that I had a sleeve done Monday and the amount of joy I had all week because of the people I was so blessed to become lifelong friends with. Good luck hon

Having surgery with Dr. Lopez on August 9th. I can hardly wait.

Just had my surgery on Tuesday. Dr Lopez at the Mi hospital. Am not resting at the Marriott. I can not say enough good things about the whole experience. From the driver, Roberto, who is a hoot, to the very nice accommodations in the hotel and the wonderful care I received in the hospital from the nurses and Doctor Lopez. Everything is exceptionally clean.
TJ is not a scary place. We enjoyed a evening of shopping before going to the hospital and my husband had a fantastic seafood dinner. Ice tea for me dang.
I remember them coming to get me in the room and then I remember being back and thinking did it happen? I was up walking within an hour and have not had any problems with gas. I feel no pain which I consider a blessing know that others have.
My husband is with me and as gone exploring everyday while I rested in the hospital. I do believe he has been enjoying the trip!

Thank you! I did a lot of research..... And, there is a $4500 summer special!!!! When I found that out, I felt like it was a sign for me to go ahead , and do it! Since having my 2 year old, I never do anything for myself. I use to be in great shape. But, the pregnancy , and a desk job for two years before that, took a hard toll on me. I can't wait to feel good about myself again! Let me know if you want more info... I'll give you my patient coordinator's email. I LOVE her, and trust her. She has been through a procedure in TJ, which helped me to feel at ease. I've been reading so much information , as well as reading many , many, many forums. I'm not telling my friends or family. I know they would flip out, about the procedure,and because it's in Mexico.... And, because I have a lower BMI than most who get the procedure, I know I'd hear a lot of criticism from friends and family. Getting nervous, but looking forward to feeling pretty, attractive again...

We all came to this decision either because our bodies were screaming at us, we were done with feeling like melted pudding pops...or we were just plain tired of losing a battle with food. I had that question the other day, and I told the person to flash back the last decade as my friend. Extreme bootcamps, working out like a crazy person, health issues, a few months of depression, not going out and when I did, feeling like a elephant in a room. Then I said, this is a TOOL, it isn't going to magically fix anything. I will still need resolve, this procedure is the least complex of my options. I don't want to die at 43 like my grandmother did of a diabetic coma.
I gave it to her from my perspective, not to be mean, but to just say hey, I am an adult, I have thought of both paths 1. the let's waste another two years fighting with the urge to eat and eat irresponsibly (my path behind closed doors thus far) or 2. that will let me be an active grandma, and dance on the beach with my husband, and watch my kids get married. To join the stuff I have been too embarrassed to join. i.e. bellydancing , to join a baseball and soccer team next spring, oooh maybe even rugby. To join ladies night at the golf course and not care what the snotty stepford moms group thinks in our tiny village cause frankly, those women ARE MEAN! lol
This is one of the most important commitments you are ever going to make! A commitment to YOURSELF! I have been married for 11 years now, and this is the first thing I have ever really done for myself. It is bat sh@t crazy scary....but hold your head high, there is no shame in reclaiming your independence from food and starting your life the way YOU want! Best of luck! Just keep positive!
