My husband & I both have our surgery dates!



Recommended Posts

We are excited we finally have surgery dates and are really doing this. My husband Joe is going to Tijuana to have surgery with Dr. Rodriguez in mid July. He is going through Belite and its very affordable. I am having my surgery with Dr. Kim here in Dallas, TX Aug. 8th. We are doing them like this beucause I won my surgery for free:)

If anyone has gone to Tijuana, we would love to hear about your travel and experience. My husband will be traveling alone.

Anyone else going to be in Tijuana the week of Aug. 18th? ANyone else having surgery with Dr. Kim???

Thanks.

Hey! Somehow I missed that you won! I voted for you every day. Weren't you Texasmom? I am confused. Did you post that you won? Hooray! That is wonderful!

I did not go to Mexico but I think you are so right to have your surgeries 3 weeks apart. (At least I think so- though you ask if anyone is going to Tijuana August 18th...) You will be able to care for one another.

YES & YES! Thank you so much.

I am so lucky and my surgery is Monday, Aug 8th. I have to do Optifast from July 12th until surgery--which I am totally scared about.

My husband is going on to Mexico, so he will be finished and back in the swing of things when I have my surgery.

THANKS AGAIN! I appreciate you so much.

I am out of town and I go for my pre-op on the 14th at the hospital and then to the "bariatric university" VSG class right after the hospital. I havent received my pre op diet yet. The pre-op liquid diet is stessing me out more than the surgery itself. I will be starting the liquid diet on the same day too. They told me to just go buy a few ready to drink cans but to make sure they were low in carbs just to use for that day and then I will be picking up the liquid diet that they prefer when I get there. I am so nervous!!!!!! and Exicited!!!!!!!

Wow, you "won" a surgery!?! That is awesome! It is so cool that you and your husband are going through this together. Even though my husband didn't have the surgery I feel like it really pulled us together. Once I "survived" surgery he became really excited about my decision and has been cheering me on ever since. I think he understands now how desperate I was to lose weight. Obviously you have a great surgeon with Dr. Kim! Keep us updated.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
