I'm one week post-op and feeling good. For all u pre-ops that are as anxious as I was...remember the end results are worth alittle anxiety. Anxiety exists because of fear of the unknown. Fear going by yourself, fear if surgery, fear of Mexico because of bad media publicity. Let me set your fears to ease. Thei doctors are very efficient, friendly, explainatory, and they talk with u, not at u. You're in very capable hands. You will receive wonderful care by all the staff. Take control of you and your future health by taking this fearful step towards a happier healthier you...you deserve it!

Today is my day for surgery and the beginning of my new thinner self. So many emotions, fear, excitement, anxiety. Ready to getter done.

Ok

I think meeting each other brings us closer together and not feeling so isolated. We all know we are not alone in this battle. But, we are doing something to better our lives. We all need buddies or as my husband calls us belly buddies.

What's up with the private messaging? What's going on? Do tell.

Amy, I was going to come see you yesterday when we got here but u we not next door as I expected. I thought the hospital and Marriott were closer together. Marlygirl and I r at the Marriott and are going to the hospital at 11am. I hate the waiting and no food or drink all day. That is hard but I have been faced with worse challenges. With any luck, we will meet up sometime today. Btw, how u feeling today?

Rohler make phone arrangements. My phone doesn't work. Using my friends kindle on wi fi to keep in touch. Couldn't get the wifi to work on my phone but I am technologically challenged. So thank God foe sally's kindle. Good luck with your surgery. I'll post more as I feel up to it. Today's my big day. Very anxious.

Although the Marriott is near the hospital it is too far to walk. Therefore a visit is out of the question unless you want to take a taxi. I am at the Marriott which is very nice very clean and staff very willing to make your stay comfortable. They will pick us up this morning. There are three of us for surgery today. Very anxious! But not visits Amy. Sorry!

Me too girlfriend.

At DFW waiting for connecting flight...so excited.

Rohler, I'm at DFW waiting for connecting flight to San Diego. Supper excited...but the Clear Liquids is really hard in the airport. Whew! I'm staying focused and resisting temptation.

Marlygirly, I will c u tomorrow. We r going together. Pre-op clear diet has been difficult but I'm doing it.

On 2 day if Clear Liquids and feeling very anxious and lightheaded and dizzy. Anyone feel like this in clear liquid diet?

Glad meet you. I fly in tomorrow. The 3 days clear is harder than I thought it would be but I shall conquer.

All my bags are packed...I'm ready to go...I'm leaving on a jet plane ...who else is going ? So excited.

Thanks for the update. We all enjoy words of encouragement and success stories. Congrats to you

Amy u know your sleeve buddies are all rooting for u. God bless and keep his healing hand upon you.

Safe travels Amy and I will check on u Sunday when I get there.

I'm getting so excited, 5 days and counting.

Same day, same place, Dr. Ortiz works with Lopez

Good luck to u too, Lori.

Im not fond of it but doing fine. The first 3 days were the hardest. Lost 15 lbs in the last month preparing for surgery.

Surgery is one week from today and I'm excited to start this new chapter of life but anxious to get this waiting part over.

Good luck, maybe I'll c u there. In on Sunday, Monday surgery.

I will coming in on Sunday. My surgery is Monday, so maybe I'll see you before my surgery. Who shall I look for? Amy?
