I'm all set for July 11!! I'm very very excited! I'm from canada and flying to mexico to get it done. Happy to join you all in our journey. I imagine there'll be ups and downs but we'll get through it together

I am going to TJ on the 8th to be sleeved by Doctor Zavalza. I am going alone but I am comfortable with it! I have done so much traveling alone and I have seen and heard from his previous clients so I have faith in the people who will take care of me while I am there!
Nobody that I have told wants me to go to Mexico alone. Nobody that I have told has to live with the extra 130 lbs of weig by and the consequences it brings either. So I am doing this for me and I will be my own support if I have to. I have online friends who have used this doctor and that is all the support I need for now. I fully expect my family to still love me when I get home and to slowly become more accepting of my decision once they see how much life I gain from it.
That being said, you must be all in and comfortable with your decision. This life changing surgery will have emotional ups and downs so you really should be confident in it going in.
Also, I'll be your friend

Remix, You have nothing to worry about. You are in good hands with Dr. Hidalgo and his Weight Loss Team. Once you meet Dr. Hidalgo you will see what I mean. He is a kind gentle natured person who cares about his patients. If you have any worries or concerns you can always ask Gerald or Dr. Hidalgo.
Feel free to email me any questions you may have. Moresmiles4u2@gmail.com.

Wow! I can't believe it! My surgery is in three days!! July 2 - my life will be changed for the better!!
Am I ready? Yes!!
Am I nervous - Not too!
It did hit me last me night as I was in bed for the night, and I couldn't shut my thinking off! The surgery center won't call me until Wednesday night to let me know what time my surgery is. I'm hoping and praying that it will be first thing in Thursday morning!!
Good luck to all of you being sleeved this week!!!

Well today is my final day before pre surgery diet...did pretty good till I decided I needed one last box of Cookies...now i feel ucky. I am ready with everything I need for tomorrow. I know I can do it because there is no way I am missing this surgery. I am going to start with a nectar lemon tea Protein drink and then 2 premier Proteins and mix in my solid health meal throughout the day. I also plan to drink a lot of my Water in the morning. I can do this. and only 14 more days till surgery!!!! yeah.

Me too!! I feel like it's so close but so far away!

Good!!! Down from 207 to 188! Day 12! Hunger is moderate since I stopped sugar free crap I have way less cravings and less hunger! broth based Soups and Protein Shakes is pretty much all I eat! I'm getting 70 gms of Protein a day and drinking 3-4 liters of Water I sip sip sip all day! My incisions are healing really nice! My energy levels are touch and go I feel good right now and want to workout but I know it's to soon!

We are nice and friendly here! Just don't cross us with talk about food funerals and how quick can I loseX
Pounds....
Nah. It seems we answer almost all questions respectfully ( well .. Lipstick girl gets testy ). Haha
Seriously. I think we have peoples best interest in mind with their new
Bodies!!!

July 10th is my date. ???? I am so ready for the new being.
Best of luck to each & everyone
After reading everyone's post I think I am making myself nervous now lol
This whole process has gone by fast, from the time I meet with my Dr the 1st time to now waiting for my pre op appt July 8th
I can't believe this is finally happening after fighting being overweight my whole life.

July 11th!! Excited ????

Congratulations to you that has to be an awesome feeling!!
My surgery is today!!!

So I hit the 50lbs loss mark today!! I'm thrilled at the number
Stats:
Feb 2015 - 256
Surgery May 12, 2015 -236
6 week post op (6/22/15) - 205
I document as much as possible so I can see numbers and pictures to compare progress. I measure my bust, waist, hips, arms and thighs. It's not about the numbers. I have trouble seeing the progress when I look in the mirror so those tactics help me keep focus and reality that it's really happening.
I've had some great non number rewards already. Needing a belt for my normal pants that would slide right off, sitting in a movie theater with both arms down and having space, my seat belt doesn't lock up all the time, I don't hurt when I wake up anymore... these are the important successes!
I have to admit that the numbers are more fun than I thought they would be. I haven't been this size since my senior year of high school in 2000.
Thanks for letting me share my journey with you all and fir the great support I see on these boards!
50lbs to go!

Reading your post was like reading my thoughts and feelings out loud. Everything you said I feel the EXACT same way.

Well, this is more a "what I looked forward to that actually happened". I had looked forward to going to the beach in a non skirted swimsuit and feeling good and totally unselfconscious. That happened today! Yay me! Thanks to all of you and this forum for giving me a place to say this!

I'm looking forward to not having my size consume my every thought! In the past few years I've put on a lot of weight and at this point I feel like no matter what I'm doing or where I am, my mind tortures me with self doubt and worry about what everyone else is thinking about me. It's exhausting. Looking forward to putting that behind me and replacing those feelings with pride, ethusiasm and happiness!
And yeah...I'm also looking forward to dancing and being part of the action instead of watching the action!!
