Hey @@Alex Brecher why did this thread get moved to local support groups? Shouldn't it be in the Mexico and self pay subforum? Posters are not necessarily from the same locale.
 
And since it got moved, my link is broken and it's no longer showing up under my notifications.

I got to see Dr Ortiz yesterday when I went to see Dr Medina. So happy to be able to thank him in person. He's so awesome. Dr Medina is awesome too. I had my consultation for plastics for upper body work and lower body work. I haven't made my final decision (I had another consultation today which gave me a few things to think about) but I will very soon. Anyway here are a couple pics ????
  

OMG Kindle you posted that postop plan and it brought back memories. I would say the last days of the full liquid diet are a beast to get through!! I never was able to get my Water in because the restriction is no joke. It took at least a year my sleeve is so tight. But I'm thankful and would do it 10 times over to be where I am now wearing these clothes and people who don't know that I had WLS calling me teensy. Congrats to the new sleevers and the new ones to come!! I'm 18 months post, down 173lbs, and an official gym rat!! Awesome

It's official!!!! I made it! It's all still pretty surreal. I feel good. The incisions are sore but other than that I'm great! I've been nursing gatorade all day. My sister and her husband are currently sight seeing. I went to the marcado hildago this morning. We had no idea it was an all food farmer's market. I wasn't the least bit hungry but I was kinda jealous of all the things they have here that I can't get at home! Ok..time to order some broth. I was told the seafood broth is amazing. But I think at this point anything is going to be amazing.
Thanks for all the well wishes! I'm about to rock this new life with everything I have!

Hello everyone! My surgery date is November 5th! I had been scheduled for yesterday October 27th but I went in even went through pre-op and everything then the dr found some irregularities with some thyroid tests results in my history from two months before and said it could be very dangerous as the thyroid controls so many things that there was a chance I could even crash in surgery and not recover so we elected to teat it and go on meds and recheck in a month but my test results came back today and they were normal so I am back on the schedule for Nov 5 next Thursday!!! I was disappointed at the time but I am thankful they were looking out for me and it all turned out well! Anyway I just wanted to say hi and good luck to all the other fellow Nov all the fellow Nov sleevers

I had my sleeve surgery on OCT 01 and so far I am down 82 pounds. Started at 285 and I am now 203 and I am still losing! I have gone from size 42 waist to size 36, from 2XL to LG shirts. I no long take cholesterol meds, triglyceride meds, and I've just came off my blood pressure meds. I am only taking Vitamins. I am a happy camper!!! I'm getting lots of compliments and I feel so much better physically & mentally. Physical chores and even exercise are so much easier. VSG was a great decision for me. I have so many plans for my life and now I think I will actually live long enough to enjoy those plans. Best wishes to all...

Hey OCCers!! I'm so out of the loop and hope everyone is doing well. I've been super busy back to working two jobs (I have to support my shopping addiction- I can't stop buying clothes) and trying to be there for my dad. I'm going to catch up on everything I've missed on the thread hopefully soon. My surgiversary came and went, and I made it to goal ????????????????????????. I also have a couple trips this months I'm so looking forward to. And for those who know me and my story- I did it! I was Poison Ivy for Halloween. My costume arrived in dramatic fashion the day of but I pulled it off! I'm so thankful for Batman and Robin!!
 

Surgery date is Nov 23! Excited and nervous... and looking forward to sharing the journey with all of you.
