    Good news: The nurse at my cardiologist just called and moved my stress test to this Friday (8/23) instead of next Thursday. I am so excited!!!! Does anyone else have updates?

    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.

    It is possible?

    newcocoame replied to ReadyNewM3's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

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

    Great...I think it's 3 of us that will be there by ourselves that week. We will definitely have to connect.

    Me,too. However, if I go I'm considering going solo. I need to pm the lady who is also going to Tijuana by herself.

    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.
  20. newcocoame
    Tijuana Sept. 9-14 and surgery is the 10th!!! Marriott Hotel and 2 day hospital stay....see y'all soon! I am only worried about my heart bc I had 1 stent placed March 2012. Im 225 now but 5 ft. 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!
  21. newcocoame
    Thanks,chickadee! Alma called and reserved a spot for me...Sept. 10th. Please keep in touch. Praying for the best with everyone's procedure.

    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!
  23. newcocoame
    No, but I take Plavix and baby aspirin. Im looking forward to more responses on this topic.
  24. newcocoame
    Hello everyone! My tentative date is Sept. 10th in Mexico. I have to get clearance from my cardiologist this week, bc I had 1 heart stent placed in March 2012. I am excited!
  25. newcocoame
