It's finally here!
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.

Band 2 seeve today. FAILURE
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.

Dairy of a fatman.
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.

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.

It's finally here!
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.

Congrats and happy losing!!! Best of luck to you- Extra time--what to do
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? - Surgery is September 30th
