Hi everyone,

First let me say that I'm so glad to have this forum to here all our stories and get the encouragement I need to move forward with this surgery. I'm traveling to TJ to get my surgery with Dr. Lopez Corvala. I see this as the start of a journey to a heathly life. I'm like so many of you in that I've tried & tried to lose weight but always ended up heavier than before. I'm so tired of having all these aches & pains that I hope are due to the extra weight. I'm just a little nervous, not so much about the surgery itself but the trip home so soon after. I'm being released and then staying over night before my trip back to the east coast. Should I pack my clear liquids to have something to put in my new tummy. I can't even imagine not being hungery after the few tablespoons of food. I'd realy like to hear about the liguid phase of recovery.

Thanks all,

Claire

I stayed in 3 nights post op, as I was feeling pretty bad, but I felt LOADS better on day 4. Just a bottle of water should be fine. I think it took about an hour to get back to San Diego, as the taxi driver will have an express pass. Jus sip, sip, sip. All the best and I look forward to hearing how you get on after!

WLS was the best thing i ever did for myself...I had GPS on 12/20 and im eating regular food just in really small portions...Im in not hungry that much at all. I wouldn't bring any clear with me to Mexaco...you really will not be hungry at all....its amazing....Good Luck....I will be thinking of you....
