I believe so, that is awesome, are you traveling far.

[MissVVJJ 12]

I live in San Diego so I live 10 minutes away from the border. I am Mexican and travel to Tijuana a lot so know my way around Tijuana.

[Mrjig 0]

That is awesome, I live in Kentucky, I love Mexican food and can barely spell Tijuiana. I'm glad that there will be someone else there that I have spoken with, I'm nervous, how about you.

[MissVVJJ 12]

Yes I am super nervous as well but I think the excitement is much bigger.

[Mrjig 0]

Good deal, can't wait to see you there. I start my pre op diet Monday, I think that will be the hardest part

[MissVVJJ 12]

Yea I start mine in Monday too, not looking forward to the headaches I'll probably get but I am excited because the day is getting closer.

I had my VGS with Dr verboonen 8/1/12. A roller coaster of emotions. There was minimul lingering discomfort for a few days but I did not take the prescribed pain meds. Frankly what stands out as the most discomforting was the sore throat from whatever tube they put down. A week later the soreness is gone but my normal deep voice has changed considerably. After being awoken after surgery I asked for something to help my throat pain but my requests were ignored. I feel some throat logenzes would have been of relief. I have no idea if I was an exception for I have seen no other comments about sore throats. VGS surgery greatly plays with your emotions (myself anyway) for if you loved to dine out & socialize with good food & friends that takes some major adjustments. In any case I am just relaying my recont personal experience. Good luck to you all
