I'm new here *hi* 31, married, working in the tech industry and finally -- I'm booked in, and nervous but it's a nervous excitement. A friend of mine, not on this forum, just had the gastric sleeve procedure. Her post op 3 days were a nightmare for her. Nausea, throwing up blood, etc. The good news is, she made it out of the clear and if she can handle it, I can handle it.

It still has not hit me yet... Perhaps it will once I've started the pre-op diet and purchased the plane tickets...

I knew I was going to do Mexico when I realized that I simply couldn't afford American doctors. I have a lot of money saved but it would take another 18 months at least before I had enough for an american doc. I did a fair amount of research and this forum helped a lot with my decision of a doctor.

My biggest fear isn't complicatons, it's not waking up.

Greatly looking forward to doing something I wanted to do years ago!

yea march 14 here in mx but I'm going to the other dr a . My friend went aceeves and had been sucessful for two years. Shes a freakin zero in old navy clothes.

First post... I am 30, married with 2 small children. I'm from ohio and I'm nervous!!!

Lannie which doc

Dr Aceves

Ok yay for ya all going to beautiful cali. I'm staying in texas and going across the mx boarder south of san antonio to dr alvarez. Let's all keep in touch so we can share the ups and downs and be healthy and happy

Sounds good. I am really struggling with the doubt right now. I know I can follow the diet... I'm more apprehensive about going alone and leaving my babies...they are one and two. I am having a lot of what ifs right now. I also know I can't loose weight by diet and exercise. I need to be healthy. Any of you struggling?

Lannie leaving our family is difficult but that means you are a good parent do you have a good support network of friends and family that can take excellent care of you kiddos for a few days

I'm not struggling, but then again, it doesn't feel real yet. I know that I'll struggle with the pre-op diet... but not too worried.

Honestly I just want to get it over and done with as soon as possible. I wish I did this years ago!!

Me too just want to get past surgery part

March 1 for me with Dr. Aceves.. I leave tomorrow for San Diego.. I go back and forth between fear and excitement. I think it would be strange if we didnt. I am nervous about leaving my babes too. But Part of the reason I am doing it, is to be a better mom to them, a healthier and more active mom.. I think that is worth the few days I will be gone.

I was sleeve by Dr. Aveves and he and his staff were very kind and professional.

So excited for you right now! I bet your pre-op stuff is almost done!
