KC VSG

Ok I don't think it worked lol. Anyways it's under KC VSG on YouTube!

Here's my week 8 update! [http://youtu.be/xvv8ftwz3kw]

I don't get on here very much anymore but my YouTube handle is KC VSG and I will be posting updates about my experience there if you would like to watch. Also feel free to make a list of questions and I will try to answer as many as I can for you.

I'm scheduled with dr Garcia this Friday.

Anyone else having surgery Friday? I'm using dr Garcia.

So just to clarify. If I keep my phone on airplane mode I will still be able to connect to their wifi and use those functions? Then I will not be charged roaming fees?

I have an iPhone 5 through AT&T. Do I need to do anything special to ensure that I do not get charges added to my bill?

I'm scheduled June 12th with him so I'll be flying in on the 11th and leaving on the 16th. If any of u guys are there during those times we should meet up!

I think @ could help you with that.

Can our surgeons in Mexico prescribe us actigall? Or can we buy it while we're down there?

Hi Laura! I'm scheduled June 12th!

I'm in a June 2015 group on fb and we have like 5 girls the 1st wk of June. Not sure where exactly but defiantly quite a few surgeries during the 1st week.

Great advice mremilio. I too will piggyback behind him and say during the first few days it's really imperative to focus primarily on your liquids don't push yourself on the protein just yet. Just worry about making sure that you stay hydrated & that you get plenty of rest so you can heal. hopefully in a few days you'll start feeling better and then you can start pushing the protein.

Thanks for the update. I definitely plan on using a straw shortly after my surgery date. I'm estimating anywhere from 1 to 3 months postop to start using a straw again. I couldn't imagine my life never using one.

I'm tired of being sick and tired. I'm tired of my weight holding you back from living my life. I want to be able to do more with my children and not have them be a shamed of me. I just want to live.

Don't force yourself to do anything that you feel you shouldn't or that you feel might be detrimental to yourself. With that being said, you could try to just do five minutes of walking and see how you feel after that. It's not an all or nothing program. Little steps do add up and any movement that you're doing with your body is helpful.

@@Sherri how did it go?

Where are you having your surgery? That's my date also. Dr. Jose Rodriguez. I'm using Dr. Garcia and he operates a hospital CER

I'm going to see dr. Fernando Garcia at hospital CER. my surgery date is June 12!

Do you toss my day can't wait! I literally think about it every single day LOL

Wow 90 pounds! Good job!

Oh my goodness my grandma has a Sunday dinner every single Sunday and I've been thinking about when I start my pre-op diet next month! How difficult it's going to be sitting there while everyone's eating all this big spread of food that she puts out and I'm going to be sitting there with protein shake LOL

Woo hoo today is your day! Let us know how it goes :-)

So your back to work 5 days post op? How's that working for you? I have to go back 10 days post op and I've been a little concerned. Luckily I to have a desk job so hopefully I can manage. Ideally I would really like to go back 7 days postop if I can, just to save myself one extra PTO day.

Has it felt this way since surgery?
