Sunday I leave for a little trip. I am going to stay a few days with a friend and then tuesday I fly out to Mexicali again. I am going to have a face lift. It will be done by Dr. Juan Luque.

I can't stand my turkey neck and the big lines . I heard the plastic surgeon

at my irl support group. He calls them marionette lines. I hate them!

So my friend moved to Mexicali. I will be in the hospital for 4 days, then I am going to go and recover at her house . I'll be gone 2 weeks. I haven't told many people and I hope I don't look much different. It's pretty scary to have someone cut on your face!

I am really excited that I am going to see Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos again. I am going to have an upper GI while I am there, which I was supposed to have done a long time ago. I am not having any problems, but Dr. Aceves likes to look at the sleeve after you are post op awhile. I'll be able to find out how much it's stretched.

I am scared and excited both. What an adventure.

Good luck with that OD! I hope all goes well for you. Keep in touch.

I should be able to keep right on posting from Mexicali.

Oh what an adventure. Hope all goes well! Do tell us what your sleeve looks like now, I am always interested to hear how they've stretched (or not).

congratulations! I know you have to be way excited, I would be. Although like you, I think I would be freaking out a bit too over having someone cutting on my face...eeeek!

Keep us posted

Can I ask... what is a GI?

WOW! Good luck! I'm scared and excited for you too! Let us know how that turns out!

WOW! That is exciting! I can't wait to hear how everything goes and I know Dr. A and Dr. Campos are going to be happy to see you, too! Be sure to tell them how much their patients love them

Good luck to you and update when you feel like it

Thanks everyone. I will tell them how much we love all of them.

I know I'll be happy when this is all over and I am all healed, but right now,

it's pretty scary. whew.. what am I doing?

Can I ask... what is a GI?

GI is short for gastrointestinal which is the stomach and intestine. Upper GI they will be looking at the stomach usually with an xray and using a contrast media like barium swallow to see the outline of the inside of the stomach.

OD keep us posted on your journey!

Oh my goodness! I can understand why you're nervous. I was expecting you to say you were having a tummy tuck or body lift! Face lift should make you feel like a new woman. Good luck and keep us posted. That would be cool if Aceves could give you a picture of your sleeve. We'd all love to see it!

I'll ask if there is any way to post it on here. I am not good with computers but my friend that I will be staying with is so if there is a way to post a picture of my sleeve on here, she would know how to do it.

Wow!! Good luck with your face lift!!!

Daisy,

I am so happy for you!!! I don't come onto this site much anymore and was so pleased to see that you are in this stage of this wonderful journey! I will be looking forward to your report back on how things went!!! You were my go to person and I read all your posts when I was thinking of getting rid of my band and getting the sleeve. You were such a wonderful, encouraging person.

I miss the likes of Vegas, Wasa, McMadam, etc. We are all now enjoying our new lives. I pray that everyone who is embarking on this wonderful journey has as good an outcome as we all did. Please tell Drs. Aceves/Campos that Marilyn from Yuma says Hi!! Also tell our mutual friend that you will be seeing in Mexicali the same thing. I REALLY miss her and her words of wisdom.

Take care and best wishes!!!

Millie

OD: that's so exciting! A friend of mine had a face lift a few years back, and she looks like a brand new woman! I was so impressed with how great she looked. I am hoping for the same gorgeous results for you!!

Wow! That's great! I can see how you'd be a tad nervous but I can hardly wait to get where you are. It'll be a while for me. Of course we will want all the details. Hope you heal quickly!
