Well, spent the night at Bariatric Pal hospital. I’m set for surgery at 9am. I’m very excited. The nurse and concierge came in and told me that I am ready to go. So, now I just wait.

I want to give a shout out to my husband. My husband, Chris is wonderful. He is my "world best husband". You know there is not just 1 person in all the world for you. How could there be? Just person 1 out of literally billions! Statistically, even God would agree with me on this one. But, when you finally find 1 of those "right" people, you can't be thankful enough. I kissed and married a lot of frogs before I met my Toad! And I thank God, everyday. The "Toad" reference is a private joke we have. He's my Toad and I'm his MSW (My Secret Weapon).
Chris has been just wonderful through the last few months. Hell, 22 years, and I hank him for that all of the time. I see all the entries where spouses or partners are real Jack Asses before and/or after wls. Chis has been supportive. He hasn't changed his diet to accommodate mine. However, I see he has been fixing his food, and eating without saying a word. I don't even know what he is up to! Chris even rinses his plate and sticks it into the dishwasher without my knowledge. He has completely stopped buying his treats. He says he needs to lose weight also, so he doesn't need them, and it would be cruel to eat treats in front of me. He has taken interest in my new food selections and helps me with taste testing. He likes really sweet and he likes salty. I don't like either. So, quite often my test subjects get a thumbs down from him..
In essence, I just want to thank all of the supportive friends and family members of all of you who are having wls. For those of you now living with a "warted frog", don't worry. Be brave and be strong. Don't be afraid to be alone if that's what it comes to. You know why? When all is said and done...there's a "Toad" out there. Just wait, be patient, you will meet each other. You know how I know? Because after years of pond scum and frogs, my "Toad" and I met 22 years ago. Ribit, Ribit!

When I scheduled my surgery back in May, they said I was first on the schedule. I thought they told me I was first on the schedule, but I may be mistaken. I was told that when I get there they will check me right into the hospital. So, I guess that’s a good thing. I’m going alone as well. My husband feels reassured that I will have a cohort to be with in the hospital.
Don’t know about you, but I’m beyond excited right now. I have packed and repacked several times. The weather is supposed to be in the high 70’s low 80’s all week while we are there.
I’m really glad we will be there together.

OMG! Now, there’s a pond scum, warted frog! Man, I’m not a violent person, but I think I could make an exception in that case. I would find it difficult to stay with that kind of person. That’s lower than whale s#&t.

Are all of us October 1st people excited !?! I am. I've packed and repacked sever times now. I just got my arrival info from Bariatricpal Travel Coordinator Frida Torres. I'ts official!!! We're all doing this!!!!!!!! Now, we must take lots of pictures and most of all...Our journey is about to begin.
Breath deeply, Om, Breath Deeply, Om........
Lizzie, see you at the hospital!

My date is 10/1 and the time is flying by! I have most everything gathered up & packed. Very excited!

I actually went to the Mall yesterday afternoon. I saw a pair of snake skinned patterned jeans & took a picture of them. I'm thinking by my birthday in April I may be rocking a pair of those jeans. If not, i'll be damn close!

I started mine on the 24th (Tuesday). I had a little bit of a headache for a few hours later on in the afternoon. I think that's because 1. No solid food, not even my AM snack with my meds & 2. first really caffeine free day.
I had diarrhea Wednesday AM and again this morning. Hope it doesn't surprise me on Monday. That when I fly to San Diego. From the Seattle area it's only approximately 2 hrs. But, with my luck, it would hit while I have to have my seatbelt on and can't get up.

I hear ya sister! That's my curse, no buy...it's no find. However, by my birthday in April, I will have probably changed my mind about what I really want. Hell, I may do so well the choices will be endless. Hmmm....then what? I guess I visit my 2 best friends, Ms. Visa & Mr. Mastercard.

I have my surgery on 10/1. I just started my prep diet this morning. I've already made my basic clothing selections based on the weather forecast for Mexico. I'm just flat excited to get this journey underway!!!!!!!!!!

I took a walk through Macy and Nordstrom last Friday. I saw many things I will look forward to wearing or even just trying on! I look forward to not getting the look, comments and service that I got from the 2 "girls" at the Christian Dior make up counter. (I wear the CD lipstick).

I went online to the BariatricPal Store and bought 1 packet oc chicken Bouillon , Beef Bouillon and a sample of the LuiquaCel Protein Squeezies. Today I was Just at Fred Meyer and found another brand of Beef and chicken broth and bought some of those as well. I'm not buying too many of anything as many contributors to this forum have talked about how much their taste changed after surgery.
I'm just taste testing these during my prep diet. I may buy more to have here when I get back home. I'm also testing how quickly my shipment gets here from BariatricPal store.
Right now is my packing dilemma! I have my jammies, but what else do I take? Crazy...right?

I'm October 1st as well. I will be having my surgery at the Bariatric Pal Hosp in Mexico. We can all be buddies! I agree, the holidays will be interesting this year! I'm trying to line up my stuff to pack as I fly down on 9/30. Can we say EXCITED?

Through the company in the link above, for the very minimum coverage they offered (not much), it would cost me $435.00 for their very basic plan. For the very best plan it was $1,435. Also, not a ton of coverage, but better. I too have been looking into Medical Tourism Ins coverage. It

Lizzziee -
I'm looking forward to seeing you there! I will be flying in on the 30th, and am scheduled for the 1st. So, we can walk the halls, terrorizing the staff together. How exciting. You nervous yet? I'm just flat excited. I'm borderline giddy!

Wow, that sounds weird. Are you on insurance? I was seeing a nutritionist, covered by my insurance and had a (fairly generous) limit to my visits annually. I've never heard that from my insurance, but not all insurance contracts are alike.

Ya know, I walked by a really long full length mirror today, and I was shocked! I will be happy not to see that again! I rarely venture near a full length mirror. Full length mirrors to me are like garlic to vampires.
i look forward to walking past a full length mirror and actually stopping to look at myself.
