Good Morning everyone, I am due to be sleeved and I'm scared to death! I am getting sleeved at New Jerusalem Hospital. I am afraid of being in surgery alone in another country, not getting the proper amount of fluids and protein and also how and where my weight will fall off. The last fear is vain I know. I'm just afraid to have my legs get really skinny and my stomach stay fat. I have read many of the posts and I have learned a lot. How much weight should I expect to loose initially?

Hi there - I am getting sleeved on April 19th and am also starting to get anxious! Fortunately I have friends who have gone through it and say that it was the best thing they ever did. Stay strong and you'll get through it!!!

I am scheduled to be sleeved 4/22/12 with Dr Almanza. Anyone else going to Mexico at that time?

That's right. Just be confident in your decision. I'm going in april 6 to Tijuana. Im more excited than nervous now. Reading all the great tips and good advice on how to be prepared has helped calm my nerves tremendously.

I was sleeved there by Dr. Almanza may 10 last year. Best decision i ever made! I postes a pic update a couple days ago in the success forum if u wanna see where u will be in the near future. :-)

How were the facilities? Did you have any difficulty with your return trip?
