Well, I only smoke about 2 - 3 cigarettes a day, bad habit I recently picked up (again). However, I promised myself and patient coordinator that I would quit 30 days prior to surgery today is the day. I really am motivated, I hate the smell, I can go days without smoking, but inevitably stress will make me cave in, I can NOT let that happen!!!!

Hi All, I am a new member here (hello!) I am lurking these boards everyday because my surgery is scheduled on the 26th. I keep hearing about the dreaded PB and sliming and I'm getting scared to death! What is this, details please?????:cake: Thank you!

I'm doing surgery with Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta. I have a Doctor right down the street for me that I am going to post op and he does fills. Yes, I do cook with Tofu and I think it will be good but I will have to see after my surgery :- )

Hi, My name is Alysha from Ventura County, CA. I'm a Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian (more lacto - then ovo :hungry: .) My surgery is scheduled for the 26th of June with Dr. Joya in Mexico. Was wondering what the journey was with food, weight loss, etc. for any veggies on here.

05/23/06- Just got date yesterday. Going to Mexico on June 26th, 06 for my surgery. Puerto Vallarta Mexico with Dr. Joya. I did quite a bit of research and I've heard great things about him and Gerald his assistant was very helpful. I am doing selfpay because insurance company says I'm not fat enough and not enough co-morbidties. I do have High Cholestoral (240) and have been working out the lat few months, however, I now have heel spurs due to exercising too fat!!!! Catch 22, need to exercise to lose weight, but exercising is painful cuz of weight! Anyways, the surgery is going to be about $8000 - bought tickets straight through to Puerto Vallarta from LAX, a $1000 bucks, wow! Upgraded to 1st class for the trip home because I'm sure I will not be feeling to great :help: :faint:
