i am here for ya if you need anything too! i am new and having my FRIDAY! i hope that it gets better for you! i keep thinking, i read this and think what am i doing!!!!! but i know it is worth it...

Thanks for the info - I am not brave when it comes to pain, and throwing up is something I don't like as well. Do you think it would be helpful to tell the medical staff that Dilaudid does not make me sick - so maybe they'll skip the morphine?? Was your medical team in Egypt english speaking??
Wow, I thought I got funny looks when I said I was going to Mexico - if I may ask - why Egypt??

This was great information! I am getting nervous but so excited on taking this journey.
A friend of mine that had the VGS done a year ago has been wonderful in giving me information and advise. They suggested that if I wanted to get my supplements in liquid form to go to www.drugstore.com and to look for products under the brand of Wellesse. I did look and they have B-12, Iron, Multivitiamin, Vitamin D3 in liquid form. The costs, are rather low as well.
Once the supplies I have purchased run low I consider ordering from them what I need. But knowing myself I will shop around for the best product and bargin. Lol.

Thank you for your honesty. I am pre op and I am the kind of person who wants to know the good, the bad and the ugly to give me the full perspective of what I could endure. I know this surgery is just rainbows and butterflies. Great post!

I'm having my pre-op blood work tomorrow too. Is there anything that would *stop* the surgery from happening? (Assuming my blood clotting test comes back normal...pretty sure that's important! Lol!) I'm scared they'll reject me. My flight is booked. My brain is ready. I don't want anything to stop this!!!!

You have a new friend in Texas. . Good luck!

I can relate to your life,wish you the best in your new life!!!

Best of luck!
