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!

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!!

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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
