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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
