Okay guys. I had revision band to leave yesterday. Every thing this far has been amazing! I haven't had a lot pain except by the drain site. From the drivers to Dr Lopez has been all I expected. They all are very nice and speak great English for the most part. I go for the leak test in a little while. Can not wait to get some apple juice! Lol

I'm at the hospital Mi Doctors now. I've had all my preop and everything was great. I'm just waiting my turn. So far everything has been awesome. Praying God will watch over the surgeon team and help me get to be the healthy person I long to be! Talk to y'all soon!

Praying you guys had a great surgery! Can't wait to hear all about it! I know you all will be fine! God bless!

Hi Joanna! I will be there Friday. Please keep me posted. I'm so excited. This is not my first surgery in Mexico. The first time I was treated like royalty. Have heard nothing but good stuff about Lopez. Thanks for the details and the pics!

Praying for you now! I'll be there Friday. Please post and let us know how you are as soon as you are able. You are gonna do great!

Otown...did you have any idea that you were anemic and where are you? (HOSPITAL) who is your surgeon?

I'll be right behind you on Friday! Good Luck!!

Anytime db 1982 just look me up!

Okay I'll be at Mi Hospital but I will be at the Marriott. Maybe we can get together. Don't stress they treat you like royalty. I had the band in Mexico in 2005 and am returning for a revision. You are in for a sweet surprise. Just relax! I am so confident I am bringing a close friend of mine to have the sleeve done. Just remember positive thoughts! And walk walk walk!!!

Db1982 who are you using for surgery and where? I'm using Lopez and will be having surgery the same day.

My Dr is Lopez. I'm actually having it done with my best friend. She is having the sleeve and I'm having a revision to sleeve. This isn't my first surgery in Mexico. First time was so amazing I decided to return. They treat you like royalty. I'm beyond ready. I've had the band for almost 9 years and it has been miserable!!!

Hey I'll be there on the 12th!! Maybe I'll see you there:))

What was your recovery like?

Yes.. I have started the dreaded pre op. The worst part has been the caffeine headaches. First couple of days were awful but I'm making it. I haven't had any caffeine and I think that has been the worst. However I was told to drink lots of fluid so I believe that has helped. I also started walking an hour a day just to fill my lungs and pump my heart. I know my body is saying why are you punishing me lol. Anyways it will all be good in the end!

I'm on day 3 of pre op diet and have a horrible lingering headache. Does anyone know any tricks for caffeine withdrawal??
