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?

I just have a high tolerance for pain. I think either you do or you don't tolerate pain well. I absolutely cannot stand pain meds! Nor do I tolerate them well. You will be fine. Don't worry. No pain no gain...right?
I hate that saying! So lame!

I'm having my surgery on 10/1 and come home 10/4.

Can we say "excited". I bet you 2 are reeling right about now. My surgery date is 10/1 and I think that date is closing in quickly. We will all be excited to see posts about your progress.

I’m going through a trying time as well. Last Wednesday I received some very troubling news, financial in nature. It may take all my savings for my surgery to remedy the issue. I’m self pay, and my surgery is scheduled for 10/1 so this is especially distressing. I have already purchased my airfare. I’m not sure how I feel at this time. Oh well, it is what’s, it is. Well, at least that is what I try to live by.

Hang tough and keep coming back here for the encouragement you need to persever through all this nonsense (and nonsense it is). My husband reminds me (frequently) that sometimes I: Pole vault over mouse turds. I have little patience (born without that gene!) and think up problems and make them large before they happen.
So, take a deep breath. Find a happy place in your mind. And don't give this problem or these people "Free rent in your head".

I'm looking for everyone scheduled to have their wls next month. Getting a little nervous? Well I am! I'm scheduled for 10/1 with Dr. Illan at Bariatric Pal Hospital in Mexico. The time is really flying by now.
I'm looking for other October surgery folks out there. I know you're there.....where are you?

Wow, the countdown is on! I’m so excited. I just can’t weight to rid myself of this excess weight. I’m still shedding my old favorite foods one at a time. I guess it really started to become “real” when I booked my flights.
I’m no longer scared, well not really. Just excited. I had a financial issue that I thought my put the kybosch on my surgery. At least for a while anyway, but that will work itself out.
I am flying south, like a bird in migration on 9/30. Off to Tijuana, Bariatric Pal Hospital, Dr. Illan and his wonderful staff. And there, I will receive a wonderful gift, a tool to help me recover that smaller, healthier person trapped inside.

I have Holiday sets to all 3 of my adult sons one year. Talk about a “crappy” gift. We all laughed about it. Within a week all 3 called to find out where I got it at. They liked them & their friends were asking about them.
Until my husband showed us all the Unicorn Gold YouTube videos. Then we had to buy those to check them out. So, one of our holiday gifts to all three families in 2018 was a package of Unicorn Gold. Yet another “crappy” gift from Mom.

Love it. I just love it!

Fluffy - Unicorn Gold was a little on the sweet smelling side. I like clean, not sweet smells around my throne. So, I stick to Poo-pourri. BTW, I just saw Poo-pourri No.2 at Ulta! come in Plum and 2 other scents. PLUS.....they carry travel sizes! When you have to "go" on the go.
Ya know, we seem to be having way too much fun with this "crappy" subject. Don't ya just love it though? Lightens the mood I think.
I will be trying the DIY suggested above though. The thought of having just the right scent is a great idea. However, I think I might invest in a set of on the go spritzers before I go to have my surgery.

Same as mine. It will be an interesting 5 days!

I've been a fan of Poo-pouri for yrs now. My all time fave is Secret Santa and several other Holiday scents. It's hard to find other than the holidays. Right now we have Royal Flush in 1 bathroom and Lavender vanilla in the other. They're both okay. But when the holidays come, I will stock up. I found my last batch at costco, and I have seen them at a Bed and Bath store.
Have you looked up Unicorn Gold online? Same stuff, but if you look up their ad on Youtube, it's hilarious! They are also the makers of the Squatty Potty. Oh, please check them out on Youtube!

Why, of course you are. Welcome new friend! what's up?

Unicorn Gold has a much sweeter scent. Like fruit. Oh, yes...my husband bought some. Works just like Poo-pouri, just different fragrances.
Who knew? The unicorn Gold video was very educational!

Secret Santa smells like Cinnamon and Apples. Vanilla Lavender smells very citrusy. Royal flush isn't bad, more of a muted citrus scent. So, ya like the Unicorn Gold Ads? OMG!!!!

I have seen the Gas-X strips online, however, they were insanely expensive. Also, I’m pretty careful of where I buy anything I’m using in or on my body. I’m not sure either of these places were reputable.

I'm a big believer in the vibes between you and any health care provider. You need to find that 1 special 1 that does "you-speak". you know, actually looks at you and listens! I a very out spoken with my pcp. That way, we both know where we are at.

I want to start going back to the gym after surgery as well. I see a lot of different responses to the timeline of when to start. I think I will talk to my doctor. I bet recommendation vary from doc to doc as well.

Sounds weird but -
Running up my credit cards at the Mall on cute, fashionable clothes! (I won't think twice about the interest rate!) Buying the ones I look at now, knowing they will never make my current size in.
I'm not kidding, I have a shopping plan laid out! By summer 2020, I will be covered in cute shorts, maybe a crop top and a very stylish swimsuit!
I have a son who lives in Hawaii and I will be Hawaii bound for sure. To visit of course, but to catch some rays on my glistening toned body & trot around in a swimsuit, not shorts and a tee shirt. ALOHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
