    Hey! My surgery went better then I could have ever wished for! Im about 3.5 weeks out now and i already notice so many changes with myself. I had almost no gas pains, I was just tired and slept a lot. I was expecting major pains and gas but I got next to none or maybe I just have a high pain tolerance?! I had my surgery done at BariatricPal MX with Dr.Illan. He is amazing, and so kind. I couldn't have picked a better surgeon! I have not heard of Monterrey? But BPMX is only maybe 15/20 mins away from the boarder? maybe less? If I had to do it all over again i'd still choose Dr.Illan Im actually saving money now to go back there in 2020! *fingers crossed* They also have a great plastic surgeon, who I met breifly during recovery.
    Whoever you decide to go with I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery! Its totally worth it!

    I am one who has been up front about having surgery so everyone I know is looking for changes in my weight. I get lots of compliments and it does feel good. But the best was someone who provided computer support in my office. I retired last July so it has been almost a year since I've seen him. I am doing some consulting and he was in the office. As soon as he saw me he said "Wow, you have lost a lot of weight'. That's when I could finally accept that I look different now.

    I went thru a stage in the weeks before surgery and found that if I educated myself on everything I could find on the gastric sleeve, I'd be better prepared for the surgery. Somewhat wrong. I did educate myself but praying sometimes works better than knowledge. I prayed for strength to get me thru this and a sudden calm came over me. The surgery no longer frightened me.

    Since there are many surgeons that dont do a pre op diet you will be fine

    I wouldn't worry too much. A good surgeon can easily work around a fatty liver. Shrinking just makes things a little easier, but I doubt seriously it would be a show stopper. Try relax, breath and focus on the long term. The surgery is just a first of many steps. Hang in there, you'll be okay.

    Should we try a get together?? We could choose a place - maybe a park or someplace where we can bring our own drinks/food since we're at different places? It would be awesome to walk in Herman park or something like that???
