I'm on my way to Mexico! I don't know why but so far I've really not been too freaked out about going and having the surgery. It may all hit me once I arrive there, I don't know. Really I think the reason I'm okay with it all is because of this forum and the support that I've found in many of you here. I'm so very thankful for Vertical Sleeve Talk.

Keep me in your prayers! Once there I'm sure I'll be using my lap top to check in with you all!

Congrats for taking control of your life! I think you'll love the effects of your sleeve.

Take care of yourself and yes! POST! We want to know how you are doing.

We should set up some sort of angel program like they have on another board. The person having surgery picks someone to keep in touch with while they are in the hospital. We could even extend it to a mentor program as well, like a buddy system! We should work on that!

Enjoy your stay in Mexico... I mean, it is surgery but still... ;o)

I never really freaked out either and I attributed that to being sure this was right for me and that Dr. Aceves was the right surgeon -- and I obtained all that information from everyone on this forum. Sure, I was nervous as I'd never had surgery, however, I wasn't a basket case at all.

Good luck to you and I hope your entire experience is wonderful from beginning to end. Keep in touch and keep us posted as to how you are doing. We'll be anxious to "hear" from you.

Best of luck to you! I will keep you in my prayers.

Good luck, you will be fine. You get to enjoy one last meal tonight, may I suggest the Italian restaurant at the resort. I had the spinach fettucini with chicken, it was freakin awesome. (Stear clear from the lasagna.):thumbup:

Hi Beth, I am sure you will do wonderfully. We look forward to hearing how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it.

Congratulations on your surgery. Post when you can to let us know how you're doing.

Here's good thoughts coming your way. Good luck and keep us posted. Hugs, Judy

Hi Beth,

I just joined this forum today. I have just recently considered having gastric sleeve surgery and was researching where to have it and cost. How did you decide on where to go in Mexico?

Where are you in Missouri? I'm in North West Arkansas - about 1 mile from the Missouri border.

I hope everything goes well for you and I look forward to reading about your progress!

Beth -

Best of luck to you! You must've done your research and know this is right for you which is why you are so calm. That's great! Here's to a smooth surgery - update us when you can:)
