    AnnetteMcM got a reaction from "Henry" in Tijuana is so beautiful.   
    I just wanted to let everyone know how I'm doing. I had my surgery on Monday. After sleeping for several hours, I was up and walking. The more I walked the better I felt. I was actually able to get my 10k steps in. I am know at the recovery house. Took a stroll around Tijuana. This city is so beautiful and the weather is spectacular.

    Hey everyone,
    I am new to the group. I just wanted to see if there are any sleevers heading to TJ mid-march. I will be traveling by myself and was hoping to get to know some people I may be visiting with come March.

    Congrats everyone. Keep it up. I'm a 12/2016 sleever. Was a 22 & 2x/3x. I can wear a 16 now. But I too am still working on the mental adjustment. Everyone comments on how my face looks so different but I don't see it in my body. I'm glad at the progress but my mind hasn't caught up with the body and the number (pounds lost) . Weird. Lol. Will give it time.

    I was a size 20W June 2015 and am now a size 8 (sometimes a 10). I actually need to shift and stop losing as I am below my original goal weight! I'm still well within a normal BMI, but feel happy where I'm at!

    AnnetteMcM got a reaction from "Henry" in Great experience with Dr. Zavalza, Roberto, and Juan   
    That is amazing to hear. Dr. Z will be my surgeon in March for VSG. As the days get closer the apprehension grows a little bigger. Your review goes a long way to dissipate it.
    Thank you!!!

    I'm in Mexico, hanging out in my Marriott hotel room. Hubby down eating . I have to be in the hotel lobby @6 am for 6:15am pick up to the Hosp. I requested to be the 1st surgery appt.
    I met some folks 2 days post op & they were happy as clams.
    I did a horrible job on my pre-op diet. I hope they don't throw me out for a super fatty liver!
    Wish me luck.
    I'm not worried about the surgery, just the food addition
    48% body fat
    5'6"

    Surgery was today! Wow I still can't believe it. Im a little uncomfortable but over all the pain isn't bad yet. I've only had a few ice chips and 4 table spoons of Water. Hopefully I'll have a good night and get to sleep more.
