OK, I couldn't wait any longer. I have to see who else is scheduled for October. The closer it gets the more I'm looking forward to the surgery. Well, not the actual surgery.......but you understand what I mean. Is anyone going to have surgery in Tijuana on the 11th? I'm looking forward to possibly meeting someone from the message board during my trip. I know that I will be at the same recovery house that is used by Dr. Almanza. I keep thinking about all of the NSV's I'm looking forward to happening. I swear everyday I think of a new one. Today's is .....looking forward to not being so sweaty all of the time. :001_tongue:

The only people i have told about me going to mexico to have surgery is my mother and husband. i had told a friend a few months back i was thinking about it and she gave me shit so i dont talk about it and i dont want to tell people im going to have VGS. I dont want people trying to talk me out of it or trying to scare me about going down. Yesterday my mom tells me that my Dad doesnt want me to go cuz someones gonna take me and bash my head in and the Dr is gonna butcher me. REALLY??? This is why i didnt want anyone to know! :thumbup:

Hi all! I'm new to the boards and this is my first post! I'm having my VSG on October 4 is Puerto Vallarta! Can't. Wait.

I start my liquid diet 2 weeks from my date - so September 20th. Wish me luck!

kerri 21!!.... I honestly know how you feel!!... I haven't told that many people about it ... I have not told my mom or dad because they wouldn't understand.. However I have told my husband and he is being quite supportive! I am so scared of telling them or them finding out... Because I know I will have negitve backlash... Ugh its hard trying to do better for urself but not being able to tell some of the people you love !

Kerri,

Where are you getting your surgery done at? You might have said but I missed it. I am planning on going to Dr Aceves on the 8th!

I just got a date today for October 13th! I am so excited yet scared at the same time! I have already lost 19 lbs on my own however, I know that it won't stay off! I am having the surgery done in Indiana!

Hi everyone,

I am having surgery in Montreal, Canada with Dr. Gagner on Oct. 4th. He doesn't require a pre-op diet......but I'm thinking of doing some Protein shakes the week before anyway...

All that huh? LOL I know it is not funny, it is just hillarious how peoples perception of a place can be so dramatic. I know there are dangers in Mexico but I think certain places are the hot spots. I also know I felt pretty secure with the trip straight to the place I was having surgery and the hotel was located in the other wing so I really didn't HAVE to leave the facility. I did take a walk to Starbucks with my mom and she went daily to get her coffee there. Then we got loaded in the van and went straight to the border when we went home. I felt more scared in a sketchy neighborhood I ventured into at Chula Vista California the day before surgery hehe.

They are parents so of course they worry. I am like my mom, if I am worried about me kids doing something then I make sure I am going to be there with them.

I am having surgery on the 18th in TJ. Who is your DR? It is such a relief to finally be on the road to good health!

I am having the vertical sleeve plication on Oct 18th with Dr. Jaime Ponce de Leon. Anyone want to be sleeve buddies???

Hi folks,

I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr. Aceves on October 18th. I'll be going alone (traveling from Northern California). I'd love to hear from anyone going down there the same time! Would be nice to chat and support each other.

Annette

I'm gonna fly in to SD cali on the 7th and my surgery is on the 8th. Are there no other Aceves patients going to be there at that time? I'd really like to meet someone while I'm down there.
