Yeeiiii Panda!!! Way to go! Congratulations on reaching your goal. You are an inspiration for us barely starting the journey. So happy for you...

I was in the hospital for 5 days, there is no way in the world I would have gone out to a graduation on day 3, it was the "worst", not in much pain but soooooooooo tired. Can you move your date to after the grad?

My pleasure... if you have any specific questions please let me know...

In case the link I posted does not work, it is www.mexicalibariatric.com

I recommend Dr. Alberto Aceves in Mexicali, his webpage: http://mexicalibariatric.com I had surgery with him a week ago, he is THE BEST!!! No pain, not hungry, no nausea, him and his team are a 5 star team. I am local, I live in Mexicali but know that people from all over the world travel to get surgery done with him. I hope you like what you read on his webpage.

Thanks... I hope you find a way to get yours done too! I am truly happy with my doctor, people from all over the world travel to have surgery with him and I have him just 5 mins away from home!!! Best luck to you.

I'm local and my insurance covered part of it, so I don't want to give you any wrong info, go to his website, I just had surgery with him a week ago, and I feel great, no pain, not hungry, no headaches, no nausea, I completely recommend him... his website is: http://gastricsleeve...urgeon.com��and the hospital one is: http://mexicalibaria...bariatric.com��

Congratulations, you look amazing!!!

Have you searched Dr. Alberto Aceves in Mexicali? He is THE BEST!!!!

Best wishes to all on your big day tomorrow... I'll keep you in my prayers...

What caused your dumping?

Congrats... you look great...

Hello everyone, I am finally home after 5 days at the hospital... I have been feeling ok, but OMG was I sleepy the whole time... The side and back pain are the only bother right now... Also, I think I need to take much smaller sips or else I start feeling that pain in my belly (not bad) but I can definitely live without it. All people at the hospital were more than great, my friends and family very supportive, doctors, nurses, staff everyone gets 5 stars. My journey is barely starting but I am excited to meet the new me pretty soon!!! Heating pad was a NO NO for me on the belly but worked wonderfully on my back. I need a timer for my sipping, I am now constantly looking at the clock to make sure I sip every 10 minutes, LOL. Thanks to all for making this a great forum, I'll keep posting any progress.... oh, and of course.... walk, walk, walk!!!!

Hello all, finally on the losers bench... will post more when I feel better... hope everyone is doing great

WOW!!! Congratulations..., you look great!!! I am having surgery tomorrow, and I must say your story is an inspiration, definitely re-enforces the decision I've made for a new me!! thanks for sharing and keep up the amazing work!

Thanks Janel, that is so sweet of you... I am ready for my big day tomorrow... hope the best for all of us... prayers are much appreciated...

Are you all packed??? I've seen so many lists of must haves and have not written down anything... LOL... suggestions? (besides chapstick, pillow, heat pad, ipad, the basics for shower/bathroom) ??

I am exactly ONE WEEK away from my surgery date!!....sooooo excited!!!!

Unjury asks that the water won't be warmer than 140 degrees F to avoid clumps... I hope that helps. You can do it!!!
