Tomorrow Is The Day...its Finally Here



Recommended Posts

After 3 years of researching this surgery and saving up money, my wife and I are here in Hotel Angeles in Tijuana, Mexico. My Father is at the Marriot Hotel around the corner as only 1 person can stay in the room here. Had a fantastic last regular meal across the street a high end Italian place. Anybody that is self pay....first impression of the pre-banding experience has been 5 star. There is so much staff here.

The service and Dr. Kuri has been amazing so far. We had a first meeting with Dr. Kuri and then he came to my room to give last minute instructions. Anabelle (the main nurse) has been awesome. Very patient and professional. Was surprised Dr. Kuri even called personally tonight to follow up with my sonagram results revealing 7 stones in my gallbladder. Had a sonagram in the states after having a GB attack which revealed that I had stones. After 2 natural remedy attempts expelling green stones, I decide to pay for another sonagram in Mexico to see if they are gone. Unfortunately 7 stones are still there. He said I probably will eventually need to have it removed. The funny part is the sonagram only cost $58...at my hospital in Illinois, it would be $1500 if I paid cash.

The entire staff has been 5 Star as a whole. I'm so thankful for a wife and parents that have been so supportive. its 7:15pm here and will be woken up around 6:30am for Pre-Surgery . Please continue to pray (not only for safty) but that i would be disciplined working with this new tool....and have the wisdom to know how to live with it correctly.

Thanks all for your patience, love and support.!

Warmest regards,

MD

Good luck and best wishes. Praying all goes well. Don't push yourself to post in six hours. I didn't FB for two days and I'm usually ALWAYS on FB. It's tougher of a recovery for some over others. Looking forward to hearing how it goes!! :)))

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
