    Flying home after surgery

    Haha I hate doing the flight home (was born in Toronto) but not being able to eat for 12 hours whilst smelling the lamb shanks was hard! The one time I fly prem econ and I couldn't enjoy the cuisine lol .. In Nz it would of been $17,000 and with the surgery in Mexico 6000 (single incision) plus stopping In LA for a few days either side of the surgery hotels & shopping I still saved about $6000! Plus the drs in Mexico do as many surgerys a in a week as a dr would here in a month or even more ... So I felt like I was in good hands
  2. Congrats tripletmom! I was also 30 BMI ... 3+ months out I'm so happy I've had it done, I have only lost 30lbs but I'm eating much healthier. Good luck on your journey x

    Alcohol

    How weird we have a range of a few weeks to a few years?!?! That's not consistent lol ... I sure it's not great to become a full on alcoholic after surgery but a few drinks here and there should be ok .. It's prob a lot to do w empty calories too ?

    Alcohol

    Last night I drank a whole glass of apple juice in about 20 min ... I don't seem to have a problem w the volume of liquids .. I find it very easy to drink ... I might have to learn to like wine! I hadn't eaten that much food (obviously) that day either. Before surgery if I'd eaten a decent sized dinner I couldn't get drunk - another reason I thought it would happen easier ...
  8. Don worry they're already experts at the surgery - this is only slightly different way of doing it. Imagine the first people who tried it the laparoscopic way compared when they used to just slice your whole abdomen open! Haha they must of been freaking out too! Don't worry it will be fine ... Don't over think it - you are in good hands and have SO MUCH to look forward to after x

    Alcohol

    I'm alive!! So throughout the night I had about 8 shots of baileys & Midori (melon liquor) I was expecting to be way more effected then I was? I think it's a fairly soft alcohol ... So my cheap date idea didn't pan out hahaha .... I can't drink vodka & sprite (carbonation) I don't like beer & wine ... I'll see how I feel the next few days and try another kind of shot next time. You aren't supposed to drink because of stomach mucus still repairing itself (not sure what that does) ... So I'll just see how I feel the next few days before I venture out again - thanks for caring! x

  11. I think 60-80 ... And I think u have to be under a certain BMI I was very low bmi ad had no problems at all ... No pain or nausea - i was up walking around the mall 4 days later like I hadn't had surgery 8 )
  12. And my surgery was $5500 ... It was Ready4Achange ... Great company - no complaints
  13. I just had the single incision w dr Garcia in May ... The scar is hardly noticeable! When I show people my photo of my stomach and the little scar I have from surgery, they are amazed !
