newcocoame replied to newcocoame's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Update: I saw my cardiologist yesterday and my blood pressure was 116/70..whooo hooo. I dropped 10 pounds and he is very supportive of the surgery. All I have is the STRESS test next week,then I will receive my clearance letter. Oh, my (echo) ultrasound was superb. I am nervous but ready for change. I am calling today to put my deposit with Ready4achange. -

I don t have a preop diet either. I just have to stop certain meds 10 days prior to surgery.

I just joined the other day,too. Hopefully, my surgery is Sept. 10th in Tijuana.

Thanks so much for the response. The hospital has an attached cardiology unit. They told me to stop taking the plavix and baby aspirin for 10 days before surgery to prevent internal bleeding. I have a cardiology appt this week for my clearance letter,but he wanted me to do it on my own. I will definitely keep you posted! -

newcocoame replied to Mel1071's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hey gamgirl...Im headed to Mexico. I hate the insurance and nutrition classes for US docs bc seriously, if it would work I wouldnt be a lifelong regain queen. I stick to doc orders very well so Im going to Tijuana. -

Seriously....I am ready to stop carrying my granny style medicine container with all the freaking pills. Ive been wearing a girdle since 6th grade and I will have a bonfire with all undergarments/shapewear!!! Lol! -

Anyone having surgery on Sept 10th with me?
newcocoame replied to Shelle's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I know its hard but kids unintentionally talk a lot and trust their friends with secrets. I would be very mindful. As a former classroom teacher, kids would say all of their family business and I had to constantly tell them why they shouldnt do such a thing. Im going to say gallbladder problems or something dealing with ulcers since I've had them before. Good Luck! -
