My doctor requires us to start using the spirometer a week in advance, so we have to purchase our own and also bring it with us. Good point about the phone numbers and the ones. Need to go break my 20s. Mary

Hi, this thread just was covered under the specific board called "self pay mexico" or something like that. Go to the main boards, scroll down and you will see the board close to the bottom. It is a pretty active board with folks who are doing the self-pay with a variety of MX doctors. Mary

Oh, and my spirometer. I am bringing the Protein powder more for my all day flying from Ohio to San Diego. I have a 4 hour layover in Lax. Mary

Here is what I have in my bag - passport - Gax X - lip balm - lotion - loose clothing (5 sets) - underwear - new pretty sleep wear and robe - slippers - toiletries (shampoo, cream rinse, toothbrush, toothpaste, deoderant, hairbrush) ... I am skipping makeup and hair stuff - Protein powders in single serving containers, bottle for mixing and thermometer for the chicken uninjury - laptop, tablet, kindle (I may dump one of these) - RX meds Mary

10mg equals 10,000mcg ... just found that out at the store. You are taking the highest possible.

How much Zinc? The vitiamin that my Dr. recommends has 75mg of Zinc. Is that enough? Off to the store to get me some Biotin Mary

Thank you!! I leave on Monday and I am getting very excited. It is finally becoming "real."

Can't wait to see / hear about the results. Mary

I have heard there is a critical window for Leaks. What is the window? How far out after surgery are you safely out of the window? Mary

I just got two boxes of the mixed samples. Mary

Looking forward to hearing post-op updates. Mary

I leave on Monday for San Diego. I just got home from my week at my client site. My box from Uninjury arrived and I started packing it for my trip. It is start to hit me that this is really going to happen. So, I know how you feel. I am pretty psyched and excited. I am more anxious about the post-experience with my hectic work / travel schedule. I will managed somehow. Mary

I agree. My situation is different. There is no way I want to gain from a 32 BMI to 40 BMI to qualify. If you have less than 10lbs to gain, do it. And, wait the 6 months. Mary

Getting rid of my Rolodex closet of clothes. I want on stable size of clothes. No more roller coastering

1. Come here and chat with us. 2. Go for a walk 3. Play with your pet, if you have one

Excellent tips. Thank you

Pre-Op 2 day Clear Liquid diet Can you drink a protein drink like uninjury? I read somewhere on one of the folks stories that she drank uninjury traveling to MX. I can't seem to find my details about clear liquid diet, but my memory does not include protein drinks, just broth, popcicles, G2, water, crystal light ... Mary

I am on the 29th. I fly down on the 28th to San Diego and then get a shuttle ride to MX. I have a lower BMI so they said I didn't have to do the week of pre-op liquid diet, just two days of clear liquid. But, I decided to try the liquid pre-op diet to give myself a kick-start on the weight loss and get mentally set for next phase of my life and new lifestyle. I wasn't perfect yesterday, but hey it is a start. I am nervous, but more anxious about handling the diet afterwards as I travel every week for work. I am at my client site from M-F every week. I stay in a hotel. I have prepped as best I can with bullet like blender at the client site, protein powder, chicken broth etc. Mary
