  1. Thanks for all of your replies. I'm really not sure if I'm going to buy into the complication fund,it maxes out at $10,000. of coverage. I am meeting up with a someone |i met on here in PV for a visit-I'm very excited about that. WE leave tonight at 4am for the plane in Regina and straight to PV. Clear liquids today-should be interesting! Take care everyone!
  2. Hi, I'm going to Puerto Vallarta Mexico with Dr. Joya. Very excited. Did anyone get comolication insurance?:thumbup:
  3. Hi, Carla from Moose Jaw here. Its storming here and I'm looking forward to getting on a plane to Mexico tomorrow night. Surgery is Wed. The liquid diet wasn't bad, a few weak days but I think I'm ok now. I've lost 22 lbs on pre-diet. Tomorrow i start 2 days of clear liquids. Have a great day!:thumbup1:
  4. Hi, thats my date also, in PV Mexico with Dr. Joya-anyone else going to Dr. Joya?
  5. Any one having theirs with Dr. Joya in PV arounf the 27th?
  6. Hi, I'm on day 4 of liquid diet, 10 more to go! I'm also blowing up 30 balloons a day because I can't find a peak flow meter to use. The grandgirls will love coming to Grandma's and playing with all of the balloons. I've actually found the liquid diet not bad, i hate cooking and deciding what to cook. I don't feel guilty for eating snacks either because i don't. The worst part is that i still have to cook suppers for my husband and daughter. Best of luck!:001_cool:
  7. Hi, I'm off to Mexico and looking for others that are also going.:001_cool:
  8. I want to take long walks with my husband without tiring out or being sore, play with my grandgirls on the floor and be able to get back up again without help, and fit compfy in an airplane seat. Skinny jeans would also be nice!
  9. Hi, I'm having the sleeve in Puerto Vallarta with Dr. Joya Jan.27/10. I would love to hear others' experiences. Thanks.:thumbup1:
  10. Hi, Carla from Moose Jaw Sk. I am going to Puerto vallarta and having the sleeve done with Dr. Joya January 27th. The cost is $10,000. Visit his site, I know an RN here that says he does excellent work and his hospital is state of the art. She had it done in November 09. Best of luck to all!
  11. Hi, this was my 3rd day and I think I'm doing ok. I thought that I would miss coffee more. I've been on a restricted diet for 14 days and I have lost 16 lbs. I go to Puerto vallarta and have the sleeve done by Dr. Joya. Best of luck to you!
