Ok ya'll...wow the time has finally come. I can't believe I am actually about to do the damn thing. I am so excited. At first yesterday when I left home I was feeling down. But as the day moved forward I was feeling better in better. My life is about to change for the better. I am going to be fabulous. I can't wait. God is good and my life is good and I have so much to be thankful for. I will be picked up tomorrow morning and will be heading down to Mexicali. Wow I will be sleeved come tuesday by Dr Aceves. WOOOOOO WHOOOOOO!!!!!. It seems so surreal I just can't believe it!!!! The trip across the country was ok until we did our transfer. OMG I almost could not snap the seat belt....i was like if I had to ask for a seat bealt extender i would have been mortified. Besides do they still have seat belt extenders?? Anywhoo thankfully we will be taking another plane home and hopefully the seat belt is better. Other then that. I am excited...too bad its cold here in Cali and cloudy but who cares I AM HERE. FIrst time in Cali and I'm gonna have some fun. LIfe is good. I do have the last residual effects of a cold I am gettting over and I am congested, I hope this does pose a problem for surgery. I have a cough and I am a little stuffy. I hope ill be ok,

Cant wait to read/view your experience! Good luck and best wishes for a speedy and easy recovery and most importantly a successful surgery!

So excited for you! Dr A is THE BEST!

Your date is finally here! I remember not too long ago, you were reading my post-surgery updates. Now, here I am 7 weeks out and feeling 100%. I'm down 23 pounds and haven't found a food yet, that upsets my stomach. Dr. Aceves even approved me for 1 cup/day of my beloved Starbucks Soy Lattes, as long as they don't give me acid reflux (they don't!) I think I almost missed coffee more than food over the past several weeks.

I found that I experienced all of my nerves prior to arriving in Mexicali. Once I got to the hospital and met Dr. Aceves, I felt remarkably calm through the surgery and recovery.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I went to Mexcali Nov 2nd and had my vsg by Dr Almanza. I felt so weird in San Diego too. I just couldn't believe it was real. That the day had finally come. Everything goes smoothly. They know what they are doing and you will feel like a part of their family almost instantly. Welcome to the journey!

Big hugs!

Thanks you all sooooo much. U have really made me feel comforted. I am no in Mexicali.I had all my pre op testing done it took less than an hour. I am the only one having surgery tommorrow. I feel so good and comfortable. I meet Dr Aceves and Dr Campos today and they were great. I felt so welcomed and safe. I will be having surgery around 9:30 am tommorow so it is on. Oh how I am looking forward to my last meal and margarita tonite yum yum. I am really excited and ready for this. I tried to upload a video to youtube about my time in San Diego but it wont let me. So you guys with have to see my journey when I get back state side. So i'll keep you all posted as to how things go. Much luv everyone...see you on the losers bench.

I remember being so nervous and excited all at once. Dr. A told me I had already did the hardest part, (making the decision and being there) and the rest would be easier. He was right about the surgery, it was so fast and smooth and the recovery too. I went back to work the next day after getting home and was up on my treadmill within a few days. I'm not sure I would call the learning to eat all over again easy but I only stressed over the surgery. You'll do great and they will take such good care of you. Whatever you want or need, they are right there for you. Best advise.....get up and walk as much as you can. It helped so much with the recovery. I walked all the time, when there wasn't someone in the halls to walk with, I would walk around my room or out to the parking lot. Just keep moving, no races, just stroll and you'll feel so much better, promise!

BEST of LUCK for a quick recovery.
