I'm scheduled for November 7th in Mexico!! I'm excited...my Dr hasn't mentioned preop diet yet....hmmm maybe I should ask??

I would ask and if he doesn't give you one I would go on one a week before. It can only help.

OK, all of a sudden I was just reading through my post-op diet again and just realized that my surgery is one week from today! I'm really getting nervous now. Especially for the days right after the procedure. Reading the post-op info is good and bad because you hear from those who had an easy time and a hard time...I'm getting a little paranoid about the potential for throwing up with the band...I need to just calm down!

What made you choose Mexico? Do you know anyone that had the surgery there? How much is it over there?

That is my fear the throwing up part, and my band slipping.

I did allot of research on surgery. I am self pay with no insurance so $$ was a big issue. I talked to many people and read lots and lots of blogs and after all that I choose Dr Kuri for my surgeon in Mexico. The total price is $5500 which made surgery very affordable!

Try to relax. Easy for me to say, im still a week and half away... lol but each person is different. it sounded to me like the most people that threw up were the ones that didnt always chew, eat slow and refrain from drinking with meals. i know i hate to throw up, let alone with the band. Best of luck to you. Im so nervous too, excited, scared etc...

1 week from today is my surgery date Nov 2 getting nervous as well just to think it is getting so close,my Dr doesn't put you on a pre diet until 2 days before but I have chosen to do my own from some of the diets posted down 6 lbs. this week and feeling good about myself. I do fear the 1st several months post op as I fear the throwing up . I tend to eat to fast and shallow before I chew it up well, been working on this since I had my 1st appointment hope I can slow down and relax. Best of luck to you all this post has been great for me THANKS senior in Va.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
