landed @ san diego airport..



Recommended Posts

Well folks, I just landed at the airport. Super early. I'm waiting for Ernesto from Dr. Aceves' office to pick me up. I can't wait to meet my sleeve mates. I'm by myself and saying goodbye to my husband and son was super hard this morning. I sat on the plane and almost lost it. I can't believe I'm doing this. I can't eat which is fine with me. Just have butterflies in my tummy instead of a pizza =)

I wish you well, I was in the same boat, all alone in MX. There will be SOMEONE there going through the same thing I am sure, you can probably hang with them for support. Remember WALK, WALK, WALK to work off the gas and nausea afterward.

Not to scare you but be prepared the worst part for ME was AFTER the surgery, I went back to San Diego to a hotel the night before you are typically discharged, I just didn't want to do the USA customs AND airport security in the same day. I sat there in my hotel and nearly barfed a few times, cried pretty bad and felt totally drained and just wanted to go home. I was so lonely and stressed out. I'm a big tough guy too :(

Hope your experience is better.

You will do great. I was just there November 25. Be prepared for a long drive to the hospital. 2+ hours other than that and the not eating today. It was super easy. You are in good hands.

I agree with Rootman it is often emotional especially if you feel lonely. Just try to relax as much as possible you are in great hands with Dr. Aceves and his team. You will be home and with family very soon. Keep us posted.

Thanks everyone! It means a lot. I did all my pre op testing and just had my last meal with my sleeve sister and her mom who adopted me =). I'm about to take the sleeping aid and antibiotic I was told to take. @ooh shelia, I'm in Mexicali. Wishing you the best as well! Ill post up after surgery tomorrow! Thanks everyone for your support.

      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.

      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! 😞
