It is happening! I made it to Mexico!



Recommended Posts

So, today I got on an airplane and came to San Diego where I was picked up by Abraham with alighterme, and driven across the boarder to Tijuanna and settled into the Marriott. I will be first or second tomorrow, will be picked up at 6:45 am to go to the hospital. My surgeon is Dr. Lopez and Dr. Ortiz who work with MiDoctor Hospital. So far I am thrilled and of course nervous too! Abraham was super nice, a little bit of a scary driver, but we made it in one piece :D The Marriott is nice, the room is spacious. I just got back to the room from soaking in the hot tub for awhile, and man did that feel nice after 9 hours of travel time!!! Ready to hit the sack now, I will update as soon as I am able after my surgery!!! :)

Dr. Lopez did my surgery and that along with the care in the hospital was first rate. Abraham is a great guy. He mostly makes his money on tips and deserves them. Say hi to Abraham for me.

Good luck.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
