Yes im from British Columbia Canada.....I was in your fair city just a few days ago....Was a nice change in weather for me :scared0:

LOL that made me laugh... I have many packs of those damn rice cakes trying to loose weight. some Also with peanut butter but yours sounds much more yummy:001_rolleyes:

The hospital was old but very clean. The Doctor was great. Id do it all again there no problems. :thumbup1:

ok I was kinda wondering if its all this liquid...... so the constipation comes later eh :thumbup: lol

Im 1 week post op now and overall feel pretty good. The only problem im having and maybe its normal is my stool in very watery (brown):thumbup: and lots of noise from my stomach, steady and loud. I read where a couple of you had the opposite problem being constapated. Is this normal what I have? Im still on the clear liquids maybe thats it?

I didnt tell most of my family either till I was already on the way. Some found out the day of the surgery. Not because they wouldnt have supported me but because you know going to mexico and all, there would have been nothing but worry. Fromheadtotoe I know how you must feel as I just had mine done last week and i was close to cutting my losses backing out but after the support I got from here I did it and feel great after 5 days.... I dont even feel like nothing was really done except im full and loosing weight :thumbup1:

Well its finally done. Im sleeved. Tue nov.10 first day of a new life. Since I started the pre op diet on oct 25 till today (sunday nov 15) I have lost 29lbs.:crying: I saw Dr.Alvarez in Mexico. I have had no pain and no problems so far. No acid problems that I hear others having. Im probaly not getting enough water but im trying. Im just full all the time. I think Dr. Alvarez is a super nice guy and very profesional. I would rate my experiance with the whole thing a 10 / 10

I drank the "boost" drinks and "ensure" also I drank the powder Whey drinks. It wasnt so bad. Right now im on the 1 week of clear liquids post op and have been drinking those "protine bullets" because they are clear. Now that is a terrible drink. I almost threw up a couple times I bought 3 weeks supply and as it turns out I only needed about 10 days at the most. Dont know what to do with the rest :crying:

WingRider I am sure he will stay in contact with you once he is up and around or at least once we are home. It is awsome!!!!!

Hi Lucygoose Bigdd had surgery today at 9 a.m. and was back in the room by 10:10, he has pretty much slept the afternoon away but woke up around 4:30 -coherent. He says so far he is in no pain. The nurses are 100% nice. Tomorrow he is to get up and start walking. The Dr's and the Anestesiologist are also very nice - :thumbup:

I didnt notice at first...a fellow canadian eh im about 200 mi S.W. of calgary

Well the best of luck to you also.......:crying:

I leave in 2 more days.:crying:..going a few days before the big day..lost 15 so far on the liquid diet. :lol0:

I know what your going through. I have my surgury next tue.

Im on day 6 of my 16 day pre op. liquid diet. Im actually quite suprized with myself. I love to eat. I havent really felt hungry yet. As of this morning I have lost 9 lbs. If I could keep this up for a year i wouldnt need any operation but as we all know that wont happen and I will be back in the same boat. I have my operation on Nov. 10 with Dr. Alvarez.Mexico. I was excited about it until a few days ago, then I started to get nervious. Cant wait till its over. :thumbup1:

well im looking forward to it again anyway......been overweight over 20 yrs now

Well I do feel better about going now......I did almost back out of it today. 2 weeks today. How do you get that weight loss scale I see some of you have?

Im having my sleeve on nov.10............was excited but getting a little nervious now

I am scheduled to get the sleeve done nov.10 in mexico by Dr. Alvarez. After reading a bunch of your problems would any of you hesitate in getting it done again? .. I feel like im getting cold feet. :frown1: I already paid $1000 deposit and have my flight booked

Im going to Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in mexico Nov.10 Anybody else been there?
