  1. You can take Tylenol.
  2. I just came back from Tijuana on Monday June 3rd. When my husband and I applied for our passports, it took us exactly two weeks to receive them without expediting! Just make sure when you apply, you have everything filled out correctly because that could slow it down. Also, we didn't need them going into Mexico, but leaving we definitely needed them, they were checking. If you are going through a company that has a driver, you will really want to have your passports. Sometimes there are a few patients they will pick up or take back at a time. You would hate tp be "the one" holding the rest of them up! Good luck with everything!!!
  3. I am really nervous as well! I don't think the pre-op diet will be that bad! I'm just looking at it as the beginning of this journey. Honestly, I'm nervous about post op! Just don't want to screw up!
  4. Hi Alisa, my name is Sandy and I am flying into San Diego on May 8th and being sleeved on the 9th at Mi Hospital. My Dr. Is Dr. Lopez. I am going through A Lighter Me.
  5. Hi Kristin125! I am flying out of Wisconsin on May 8th, and being sleeved on May 9th at Mi hospital with the same Dr. I am not good at all with navigating around this forum! I could sure use some tips!
  6. Hi DawnDenise......I just read your post! I just got my surgery date of May 9th through Ronda at A Lighter Me. I'm feeling very emotional right now, with finally setting a date and a bit nervous after reading some posts on this forum. Anything you can tell me would be appreciated! I hope you are doing well.
  7. Melody, I am new to this app. I have a tentative date of May 6th. I am also going to Tijuana through A Lighter Me. I would really appreciate some feedback about your experiences. Tank you!
  8. Hi all! I am new to this app and still trying to figure some things out! I am striving for a May 6th date in TJ. I went through A Lighter Me. I have requested Dr. Lopez. Wondering if anyone else is having sleeve surgery around then? I'm so very excited but scared at the same time. This is just so wonderful and I can't believe I am finally getting this opportunity!
