Reading all these posts made me feel alot better because i am only 9 days post op, on all liquids and can still only get down around 50oz a day, i have been worrying that im not getting enough and it still hurts a little to drink so im having a very hard time telling when i am full also. I dont know if the feelings are full or still inflammation from only being 9 days out. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Yay congrats! Mines may 10th! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Awsome, just sent a friend request

Thats how Ive seen other people do it, they keep it secret and anyone that wants to join they add as a friend on fb then invite them to the page and then delete them on their own fb page. I'll wait to do it that way because im not telling anyone so I dont want people to see that i joined this group on fb.

I do but is it private?

May 10th, cant wait!!!!!!

I havent seen any post from anyone in a long time, how is everyone doing? I got my surgery date, may 10th! So excited! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Feeling so relieved, im really excited about my choice to have my surgery in Mexico but the only thing I was worried about was having a bariatric doctor to go to for my aftercare instead of just a general doctor. But I was just able to secure a bariatric doctor from blossombariatrics that will see me for all my follow up care, I feel so relieved. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Hmmm so weird nothing like that shows up for me. When I go to their profile it shows "message" at the top and then everything about them below that. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Thats so cool! Hopefully we can meet when we are there Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Omg same here, i was trying to go the insurance route, i was even half way through the supervised diet when i found out that i was going to have to pay 5000 deductible on top of 40% of the surgery cost plus labs. It would have cost me 12000 minimum with insurance. Now im only paying 6500 total for everything doing it in mexico! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Welcome to the May group! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Yay another may 10th sleeve buddy! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Im also very lucky, my husband has been super supportive. When I first told him I was considering getting the sleeve done he was a little freaked out and not to sure about it because it is surgery after all but he was still open minded about it. So he came to my first seminar with me so that he could learn about it to and from that point on he has been super supportive and agrees that this is the best thing for me. Once he learned how much more dangerous it is to be so over weight vs. having the surgery he was all for it because he just wants me to be healthy. So I would definitely recommend bringing your husband along to appointments to hear this stuff strieght from the surgeon, it will probably have much more of a impact on him them him just researching on the internet.

Im may 10th in mexico to with Dr. Ariel Ortiz, sleeve buddys! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

I to am a emotional eater, i think retraining my brain after surgery is going to be the hardest part. I work nights and one of the worst things I do is when im having a rough day, I think what treat can I get after work. So not only am I using food to make me feel better but im doing it late at night, double wammy lol Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

I also know the nervousness will set in when it gets close. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App
