  5. I was sleeved on 9/12/14 in TJ Mexico. I have no complaints regarding my surgery or the care I received. I don't remember much about recovery except I removed the oxygen every time the nurses placed it on my face. The smell of the oxygen intensified my nausea. Other than that, I don't remember anything about my recovery. Later, I woke in my room and I was in and out. My surgery was around 9am and I didn't get up and walk until later that evening. I had a lot of gas pain which was expected. Every day has been an improvement. I have been focused on getting my water, protein and vitamins in. I am excited about this journey and this new lifestyle. I look forward to watching my body change.

  9. I'm scheduled for 9/12/14. I am getting more nervous each day.
  10. My surgery is scheduled for 9/12/14....super excited!
  11. Congratulations on a successful surgery! My surgery is scheduled for 9/12/14. I am from Gastonia, NC and I will be traveling to Tijuana, Mexico to have my surgery. I am excited and ready to start this new chapter in my life.
  12. I pray you are feeling better. I am interested in a local support group. I live in Gastonia, and I will be having my surgery 9/12/14.
  13. My surgery is 9/12/14, and this thread has really helped me with making a list of things I need for my trip. I am flying to Mexico and will be in the hospital for 2 days and another day in the hotel after surgery. Should I pack all of my vitamins for the trip?

  16. Is this group still active?
  17. I signed up as a loyal customer for three months and I would not recommend their products. I was skeptical and I should have trusted my instinct. The results from the wraps are temporary and you must drink a LOT of water while wearing them. You can flush excess cellulite by drinking water without the wraps. The hair, skin, nails made my face break out. The greens taste horrible. You would come out better buying Green Superfood or juicing. I didn't try the protein because by looking at the nutritional facts, it's not worth the time. Save your money.
  18. Take one day at a time and you will make it through. I felt the same way. The first three days were tough, but I stayed focused on my ultimate goal. Also, I have a good friend who started the pre-op diet with me for moral support. Stay busy and you won't think about eating. After a few days, it gets much easier.
  19. I'm scheduled for 9/12 & I'm going to Tijuana. My surgeon is Dr. Valenzuela with Mexico Bariatric Center.
  20. Thanks for the share! I will be trying this recipe when I am post-op.

  22. Hi! I'm Raven and I'm scheduled for sleeve on 9/12. I started my pre-op diet 5 days. I would love to join you guys on fb and instagram. My instagram is raven_arthur_rn and my fb is Raven Arthur.
  23. My surgery date is 9/12 in Tijuana as well. My surgeon is Dr. Valenzuela with Mexico Bariatric Center. Who's your surgeon? I'm on day 5 of my pre-op diet and it has gotten easier. I don't have as many cravings and I'm not as hungry as I usually am. Just take one day at a time and you will make it through this.
