2 weeks to go and still NO sister or brother sleevers

Little over two weeks and I am heading to Mexico, still hoping to meet some others who will be there at the same time! Anyone else going to be there? Cathi

Try going to Obesityhelp.com on the VSG forum. i've talked to a few July 13th sleevers. I don't know of anyone going into surgery the same day as me, but I have sleeve buddies that are going either a week before or a week after me. We've promised to keep each other updated on our progress.

I am scheduled on July 12th as well. However I am booked with Dr Lopez in TJ. What hospital are you going to be staying at?

No need to worry. I just returned home on Sunday after being sleeved by Dr. Aceves on Thursday and we were 4 ladies all there together. We were all very supportive of each other and made sure we were all okay and checked on one another. Once you get there I do not think that you will be alone. Good luck to you and I must say I had an awesome experience there.

:D

Hi,

They may not know about these boards. I promise you, that you will meet them in the Van on your way to Mexicali. Make sure you exchange names, E-mail addresses and phone numbers, so you can stay in contact once you go home. Get together and have someone take a picture of all of you. You always need a picture of "before" you had the surgery. I am so glad I have a picture of "before."

I know you are having all kinds of feelings and emotions right about now. This is really normal. If Ernesto is your driver that picks you up in San Diego, tell him that Suzanne said Hi. Also don't panic if he is a little late picking you up, he has to pick quite a few people up in different location at the airport. Ernest will make sure you have a nice drive and he will explain anything you want to know. He has had sleeve surgery too.

This is going to be a life change event for you. I loved Dr. Aceves, he is so caring and kind along with being the BEST surgeon you could have. You are going to be taken care of my an amazing team of doctors and nurses. If you want or need ANYTHING just ask me. They take excellent care of you. I went almost 3 years ago. I lost a total of 105 pounds.

I am here if you need or want anything before or after your surgery.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,

Thank you for such a sweet post. I really appreciate it. Your right I am having LOTS of feelings and emotions today. I just finished a long whine in the pre-op section. I think part of it may be related to no diet coke for 4 days!!!! I answered your e-mail before I realized you had gone to Dr. Aceves too! I feel good about him, just am scared can I follow through with the food restriction. Thank you so much for your support. Cathi
