All dressed up and ready to go... Amanda Rae

We're getting ready to meet Ernesto in the lobby. Then back to Almater Hospital... and to see my WLS team again. Then away I go. To the land of the sleeved!! Amanda Rae

A final big meal... That I couldn't finish because I got too full. Amanda Rae

I'm in Mexico. Preop testing complete. Getting ready for food and rest. Dr. Campos es muy caliente! Dr. Aceves has been amazing. I met both surgeons and my anesthesiologist. They answered questions. Honestly. Gave a very real and direct reality check about the sleeve being a tool and not a miracle. Did I mention Dr. Campos is super cute?!?! They sent us off to our gorgeous hotel in Mexicali for our last super. The Hotel Lucerna. Made a Sleeve Friend. My mom and her mom bonded. Time to catch some rays and relax. Amanda Rae

I rolled on as the sky grew dark I put the pedal down to make some time There's something good waitin' down this road I'm pickin' up whatever's mine Here we go! Amanda Rae

That's awesome. How's your progress so far postop? Amanda Rae

I was in ATL for 45 minutes on Thursday! Lol Amanda Rae

This forum has saved my sanity and has been a wealth of info and insight. I truly appreciate all of the connections made here. Zzzzzen. Zzzzzen. Amanda Rae

I'm going to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. Totally overwhelming week! Chilled, or should I say simmered, in the hot tub for about an hour. Cooled off in the pool. Now I'm going to cuddle up with my Kindle and go into "zen mode". I hope. Amanda Rae

I'm doing the sightseeing thing now. Pickup is tomorrow. Surgery is Monday. I've been fortunate to be able to turn this into a mini-vaca. Amanda Rae

Arrived in San Diego safe and sound! Looking for away to kill time... Tomorrow begins that giant leap towards a New Life, sleeved! Amanda Rae

Mostly clear. Plus we've been staying in Lancaster and sightseeing every where. :-) Amanda Rae

I'm headed down the coast today for San Diego. Congrats on making the leap! I'm looking forward to reading your journey. Safe surgery. Amanda Rae

Welcome to the Mexi Sleevers talkers and lurkers alike. Amanda Rae

PV and Cancun appealed for sure. I decided to save my extra money and apply to a post sleeve vaca to Celebrate a healthy body that will enjoy vaca more. Buuuuut. Recovering to the lull of the oceans' waves sounds like heaven.... Amanda Rae

Thank you everyone for the support and encouragement. San Diego bound in a few hours. I hope the weather keeps up this amazingly beautiful trend we've had so far. I'm very overwhelmed. No doubt, huh? More scenic pics. Amanda Rae

Or major insecurity and/or a lack of self confidence in the spouse that felt threatened. Amanda Rae

Some pretty pics. Amanda Rae

Hi all. Enjoying my visit/mini vaca. The weather is like Summer. Such a tease to an Ohioan. My stomach has been taken over by a colony of butterflies!!! Heading to San Diego on Saturday morning for some adventuring and then headed to Mx on Sunday. My emotions are warring inside me back and forth between "Hooray" and "WTF am I doing?!?! :-/ Amanda Rae

I hopped off the plane at L.A.X. With a dream and my cardigan Welcome to the land of fame excess, Am I gonna fit in? Jumped in the cab Here I am for the first time Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign This is all so crazy Everybody seems so famous Amanda Rae
