There is lots of info in the "Mexico & Self Pay" forum...look in the General Weight Loss forum for it.

My husband and I were so impressed with Juan and the other valets (I have a hard time with names and after surgery it was impossibe!) I so wish I could remember the other valets name because he was equally amazing!

I also have to mention Robert, though. Robert drove us to and from the airport and I really enjoyed hanging out with him. On our way home, we had some time to kill, so he actually hung out with us on the aircraft carrier that is docked in San Diego, now a museum. Most drivers would just wait in the car on their phone but he was so friendly and personable.

I will never forget the kindness I recieved...I never felt like just a number to anyone. I would do it all again.

I had runny stools until I went to full liquids and incorporated two different probiotics and benefiber. No more diarrhea after that. Both probiotics can be bought on amazon: Bio Kult and Prescript-Assist. Together they contain a wide range of healthy bacteria

Great list! The only thing I would add is GasX strips. Event though the majority of gas is not actually in the GI tract, the strips helped with some gas that was in the GI tract. I thought it did help me some.

I had VSG with Dr Illan on April 21st and I could not have asked for a better experience. I am 10 days out now and feeling great! He is the one to consider, for sure.

I like pacific with a little bouillon added...it was just what I needed after surgery. I also really like the Adkins lift clear drinks because they have 20 grams of protein and taste pretty good.

Maybe not a first date but more like a third date....escape room. I flippin love escape rooms. It is a problem solving situation and it can really show a lot about how a person thinks and how they work under pressure.

I have been cooking for my family all along because I am the only one who cooks and I have to say, it really was hard at first! I would actually get all grumpy, especially if I was hungry myself...almost like a little panicky. But now that I recognize how I was feeling, I make sure to eat a little something before or while cooking. I don't cook on an empty stomach if it's food I won't be eating!

I agree...this may be his way of showing support and trying to help you be successful. Personally, I asked my husband to help me stay in check and this seems similar to some of the things he does to help. I know ultimately it is all up to me but having him give me a nudge in the right direction gets me thinking and sometimes helps me make even better choices.
One thing you could try is telling him, in a very straightforward way, exactly what kind of support you want and what really makes you feel support from him. That way he doesn't have to guess what you want and accidentally show his support in a way that doesn't translate to what you need. Tell him what he CAN do to be helpful.

Examples: "It really makes me feel loved and supported when you compliment me or notice how hard I've been working" or " When you point out a positive change in me, I find it very motivating"

Not saying this is the case, but if your messages sound generic and don't contain anything to let the woman know that you read her profile, it's very likely that the message will be ignored. I don't know if this applies...just a thought.

I had my sleeve done with Dr Illan on April 21st. Everything was very well organised. The people were great, start to finish. I really enjoyed my stay at the hospital! They checked on me around the clock...every hour or two. I felt well taken care of. The surgery itself was over without any problems and everything happened so fast I didn't have much time to worry, which I liked.
My husband had a good time with the valets and he met some other "companion husbands" to go eat with.
I am 25 lbs down from my starting weight of 250...which I am happy with. Everything has healed up nicely and I am moving along on my diet plan well. No problems and I am very happy with my choice.

I know this is an old post but I thought I would chime in and say hi to the other Portland Oregon people! My surgery date was April 21st and so far I've lost 23 lbs...Very happy!
I am wondering if anyone knows of a local support group. The one on meetup.com seems totally dead. Their last meetup was in September.
