  3. We are on our way home from surgery now. We will update as soon as we are back to a scale.
  4. Thanks everyone! We are back in the US. The trip was trouble-free. We fly home tomorrow morning. It'll be great to be home in our own bed. Dr Alvarez and his staff were fantastic. Most of the nurses didn't speak English; however, it seemed there was always someone available if we needed something. Rosie, the hospital van driver was great. Lots of funny stories & she made the trip enjoyable.
  5. Ebensburg PA sleever here. We were sleeved yesterday in Mexico.
  6. Wow, sorry to hear this. Definitely not the outcome you'd planned for I'm sure. Hang in there, get some healing time in and come back. I'll be thinking about you.
  7. Good luck today. You'll do great. We had ours yesterday here in Mexico. Virtually pain free. I even slept on my left side where the big trocar port is. No gas pain either which was my big fear. When I had my gallbladder out, the gas pains were excruciating and worse than the surgery pain ever was. Keep us updated. We are all cheering for you.
  8. Good luck on Tuesday. You will do great. We are currently in TX and having surgery tomorrow in Mexico with Dr Alvarez. See you on the other side; we are on our way to healthy lives!!
  9. All in 8 months...truly inspiring. Congratulations on getting your life back; enjoy your successes. You look great.
  10. Made it to San Antonio. We're checked in at the hotel. Best part of the trip so far...getting off the hotel shuttle, hubs stood up and his jean shorts fell to his knees. Bahaha. Guess the pre-op diet is really working.
  11. At the CMH airport waiting to board the plane
  12. This week: Mine. 256.5 His 340.5
  13. Can't believe it's finally here. I remember when I made the countdown ticket on my phone. It was 94 days. I'm sitting at work drinking my lunch. In 2.5 hours I will head home to pack up the car. We are driving to Columbus Ohio tonight to meet up with my mom and then we are flying out tomorrow morning. Woo hoo!! The hubs and I are both getting surgery Monday. Very much looking forward to being on the other side.
  14. Glad to see they use the exact same products we use at the hospitals I've worked in.
  15. Congrats on your new body. You will be at goal before you know it.
  16. Can't wait to try it. Looks so good.
  17. We are sept 30th as well. Where are you guys having yours done?
  18. If this is true, it's just plain sad.

  20. Congrats and happy losing!!! Best of luck to you
  21. In the past, we have spent so much time think about food, preparing food, driving to get food, & just eating food. Now that we are on this journey (still pre-op in the liquid diet phase) it seems we have lots more free time. How is everyone spending this extra time? What are you doing now with the time that used to be occupied with food?
