We may see eachother in passing. I fly out the 10th. I'm seeing Dr Garcia also. I'll give a full report to ya!

I'm flying out on the 5th and surgery on the 6th. I can't wait either!! It is just more and more gratifying knowing that I made this decision to get on with my life!!

No I don't live there. I was pricing since I was gonna be there for surgery. I made some calls and found out the same thing today that you ladies are saying. So that is expensive for Mexico prices I think.!

I was quoted 240 dollars for one area in Mexico. Does that seem about right?

I may see you. I have surgery the 6th and leave on the tenth. We see eachother in passing. I'm getting so excited! I know this will be the best decision I've made in my life. I've lost approx 5 lbs on preop so far! That's just getting me even more motivated.

Great job! I am thrilled for you!

Oh. Ok. Well I guess I'm over thinking it but don't you need to limit the calories even on a full liquid diet? Soups and jello have calories! And protein drinks.

I was told I could drink two or three protein shakes a day and one low fat, sensible meal. Well I'm concerned about all the calories these shakes have. So I guess my question is there a calorie number I need to stay under for these next 7 days? I feel like I have turned into an idiot the closer I get...afraid to do something wrong! Lol! She didn't say I needed to lose a certain amount of weight before but just to do the preop!

What about phone reception? Will I need to get international calling added to my phone?

Yeah!! I'm so thrilled for you! It said it perfectly! Good luck!!

@twoboysandgirl where did you have your surgery? I saw that you mentioned you had a cath. A urinary cath?

Great for you!!! You will not regret it. You deserve it!!

Great!! The orange is the bomb!! Good for you.

It will be here before you know it!! It seems like I just scheduled mine. I'll keep you posted when I go! It always makes me feel good to here everyone else doing good.

Can't wait! I'm so excited!!! I've been trying to get everything together. Dr Garcia is doing the surgery. I have a countdown going!!! Woohoo!

I'm planning on the same thing. I think it will be fine if you don't do any heavy lifting.

Me too! I've been trying to ease into. I cut back on caffeine and carbonated drinks. I have been drinking a protein shake for breakfast since Saturday.

I live in Mississippi. I'm Christi. This makes it even better knowing you will be there same time. When are you going to start pre-op?

That came our wrong! Lol that I made this decision for me!

@iwantobethin-- we will be sleeve sisters! I'm April 6th dr Garcia!! However I am only 5'4" so we will look like Arnold and Danny devito in twins because you are taller! I can't wait to meet you! I'm getting so excited!! I'm so proud that u made this decision for me!!

Good luck!! It will be great! Sending positive energy and prayers your way!

Wow! Really informative video! Thanks

I wonder if the weight loss is slower with the lower BMI?

That is exactly how I felt. My BMIis 33. I am making a life change. If I could be thin on my own I would be already. If you are serious then make the call. No one has to know if you don't want them too! I haven't told anyone and don't plan on it. This is the one thing in my life I choose for me only!! I deserve it. Good luck with your decision.

I add a orange Hawaian punch brand packet to my vanilla and it taste like a orange dream pop. Or you can add any Krystal light for flavoring or the Starbucks single packets. Also I add a sobe 0 cal or vitamin water to the protein and makes a great shake!
