I'm here in Mexico and having surgery in the morning! Finally....

So who's having surgery tomorrow and Friday? Are you,packed, the totes by the front door and everything else ready? Are you going to,remember to update us when the surgery is through? Okay, smile, relax and get a good night of rest. Big Day is Coming.-❤😛❤

Blacklioness- I’m having surgery in Tijuana on the 25th and let me tell ya, My nerves are right there with ya!!!

June 21st, self pay
5'7 and 216 lbs

Anyone else have surgery in Tijuana? My surgery is getting close(21st) and the nerves are kicking in big time. Whooosahh!!!

My surgery is 6 days away - June 22. I’m 5 days into pre-op diet and actually doing well. I thought I’d have a headache and be starving but I’m not. I’m having 3 Protein Shakes with some milk for carbs and then some broth for savory. I hate Jello so none of that. I’m still enjoying my coffee too. I’m not tempted at all. Maybe because I know the end is in sight!!

I had my surgery in Tijuana on June 2. Everything went great! Everyone was so nice and helpful. Now I'm on mushy food and losing like a pound a day.

June 17!

Same here for June 21! It’s coming up so fast 😵. On vacation since last Thurs, thru this Sat. with no scale to know if I’m doing ok. 🤞🤞

Awesome, that's my date too!

I dont have a preop diet, but I have been doing 2 shakes and one meal a day( started Sunday) and I've gained weight. So frustrated already.

Awesome, that's my date too!

Good morning,
Yep I'm venturing! My surgery is the 21st and I'm doing it at Angeles hospital I. Tijuana with Dr. Corvala.

This is exactly why I advise getting a scale that tracks body fat %. You are missing a MAJOR metric, weight is only 1 number, adding body fat measurements helps track your losses better. I've been stuck at the same weight for over a week now, but my body fat % keeps dropping, so I know I'm doing ok, if I didn't have the body fat %, I'd be losing my mind, in the gym daily, hitting my Water and Protein metrics, but not "losing weight".

Do not worry about how long it takes, if you are doing what you are supposed to be doing, that's all that matters.

June 28th in Tijuana! Anyone else venturing across the border?

Im the 21st as well, good luck to you. I have been doing the same thing since day one. I am even more nervous now since i have been told because i am doing it out of the country i may not get the post -op care from the VA unless something goes wrong. Not deterring me though, its time to make this happen.

My date is the 21st of june i did not get much warrning.
I got a call on the 1st letting me know the date and i have my pre op apptments on the 6th and i will then start my pre op shakes on the 7th for the 2 weeks before my date.
All i have done since i got the call is search/read and watch youtube videos..
Am scared as well as excited for my journey to start.

I’m on the other side!! Surgery went well. I’m feeling no nausea so that’s a huge plus. I’m still on pain meds so it’s all hugs & puppies for now.
im allowed to have ice chips so that’s helping with the thirst. So far so good
how are the other 4 June peeps feeling?

Awesome sauce, so happy to finally have a surgery buddy Crash004 I'm scheduled for the 21st as well.

Roar us all an update when your surgery is concluded, Black Lioness, And God Bless🙏 and Keep,you in the meantime.😜😏

Hey @ Amanda403, you are going to be fine! Are you going to be on YouTube? And what are you going to call it? Maybe something like "Anxious Amanda gets Her Sleeve"?👉😧👈

Hi everyone,
I'm scheduled for June 21st. Dr. Corvalo at Angeles Hospital. Total cost is $6500, i am so looking forward to this day!!

I am June 11th! I am doing the sleeve and my wife is doing the bypass the same day. So nervous and so excited! I am also excited that I have found this forum as we close in our surgery day.
