    Follow-Up Care? Necessary?

    ShannonH replied to sirensiren's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    Great question! Looking forward to reading some responses. Who sleeved you?

    How long are you generally in pain after the surgery, and what type of pain meds do they typically put you on, and how much do they give you to bring home? I'm a big baby when it comes to pain, so I'm kind of scared....

    Juarez, Mx - Here I Come!

    I'll be having my sleeve done with Dr. Almanza on March 2nd, and going all by myself. Am I nuts? Do most of you take someone along, or opt to go alone? This is my chosen path, as I feel it's my own personal journey. My family and friends however, think I've lost my mind for even considering the surgery, much less going alone. Any thoughts?

    Who Does This Alone?

    ShannonH replied to ShannonH's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    So, I just made my FINAL payment, and booked my airfare, and hotel for San Diego for the day before. It's done, I'm doing it.....I can't believe it!

    Stupid Question -- Tipping

    ShannonH replied to Karen B45's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    That's not a stupid question at all! I'd love to hear what people have to say. Normally I vacation in Jamaica, and tip my driver $5-$10, but there's a "no tipping" policy at the resort, because it's all inclusive.

    Who Does This Alone?

    ShannonH replied to ShannonH's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    Jewel....I live in Pflugerville/Austin, and would LOVE to get together sometime for support!

    It depends on where I shop. I'm just under 5'10", so some places consider it "tall", and others "average". :-)
  11. ShannonH
    I'm currently in 18/20 tall. Hopefully it changes soon after surgery, but by then, you'll be even smaller. :-) :bigear:

    Just enjoyed my last Jamaican Beef Pattie for a long, long time. Getting ready to begin pre-op next week. SCARY!

  13. ShannonH
    Good luck, and looking forward to hearing your experience!

    Hi Cynthia, I'm scheduled for March 2nd with Dr. Almanza! I livere here in Austin, and would love to buddy up with you for support! Too bad we don't have the same date....we could fly out together :-)

    Does anybody have a tasty High-Protein Chicken Broth Recipe? I go in for surgery on March 2nd, and want to stock my freezer. I'm not a lover of "false broths". Thanks in advance!
  16. ShannonH
    Wow! Mine jumped almost $100 in the past week. I better book ASAP! Looking forward to meeting you too!

    6 Months! Before And After

    ShannonH replied to FishingNurse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Amazing! Simply amazing!!!
  18. ShannonH
    How exciting!!! I'm flying in on March 1st....possibly 2/29. What a journey!
  19. ShannonH

    Since my decision to be sleeved on March 2, it's been difficult to sleep. SO much running through my mind.

    Who Does This Alone?

    Good luck, and speedy recovery wishes to you! Looking forward to hearing your report. I go to TJ on March 2nd!

    The Counting Begins The Waiting Continues...

    ShannonH commented on circa's blog entry in I'm in control now.

    I can't wait to hear all about the rest of your journey! God bless :-)
  23. ShannonH
    Kathy, I'm going alone. I don't mind though, in fact it feels like I should go alone. :-)
  24. ShannonH
    Wow Kathy, that was very informative. It's good to hear the success stories about Dr. Almanza. Thank you very much for sharing.....my surgery date can't come fast enough!

    I'm So Scared Of Being Hungry!

    ShannonH replied to ShannonH's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    You sound like me! Wow, I thought I was alone in this. I hope the hunger goes away after the surgery. I only have to do the pre-op for 2 weeks, and that alone scares me. Pasta.....mmmmmm....that sounds so good!
