I'm a month out and can't do bananas...everytime I eat them I throw up :k

Oh yay! I'm excited for you!!! My name is Cleo!

The desicion to get this done was a long one for me as well....I waited almost 2 years then had to do all the insurance hoop jumping...I wish I hadn't waited! I wish I would have taken the leap....granted I'm not going to mexico....but I highly suggest you do it...there have been so many people who go to Mexico and get it done....I would just make sure you have PCP that you trust for your return....I haven't had any complications.....I'm about a week out! This forum is amazing for support and most questions you have!!! Good luck on your journey and please keep us informed! !!

My recovery has been pretty good...I have 7 incision sites and only one is sore...and that's the one that requires packing....if I keep up with my pain meds it's a very minimal bother!! I feel great and have been stopping myself from checking the scale...lol...I drink tons of water....well I sip all day long and it feels like a ton!! I did have to stay in the hospital a lil longer than we had anticipated but it was just for a low hemoglobin count and it went right back up....and now that I'm home...with 4 kids....I'm glad I had that extra night in the hospital!!! I'll keep you in my prayers!!!

Make sure you are drinking tons of water...that will help with feeling hungry in pre op....as far as post op....I'm only day 5....but I haven't felt hungry at all...I sip my water all day...have a sugar free popsicle occasionally....but day 5 post op....no hunger for me....I wish you good luck and that you continue doing great!!! And then speedy recovery!

July 14!!! Just a few more days!!! Pre op diet is the pitts...but I'm doing what needs to be done!!! Lots of prayers and well wishes to all the July peeps!!

July 14 for me!!! Started my pre op water and preloading shakes on the 7th.... and my birthdays the 12 ... so happy birthday to me!!!

This is so encouraging....my surgery is in a week....and with 4 kids I love hearing I'll be able to get active with them!!!!
