The closer I get to my surgery date the more nervous I become. I'm hope I can stick to the Pre-Op diet!

I am nervous about the pre op diet as well. My birthday is on June 12th (surgery on June 11th) so I wanted to have a last meal/ B-day meal but not sure how that is gonna work. How long is your preop diet? Mine is two weeks.

Hi ya'll, new here. Starting pre-op diet today. What made you choose Dr Garcia? I have been researching Almanza and Aceves? I'm in the beginning of this, don't even have a passport, but I'm rushing it. I'll have to look into Dr Garcia.

I have 2 friends that went to Dr. Garcia a couple of months ago and they both said what a wonderful person he is and what a fantastic job he did. I've also been all over these forums and have read nothing but positive things about Dr Garcia. As for the passport Alma told me that a birth certificate and ID would be valid

Hi,

 

I'm going to Dr. Lopez in Tijuana June 22 and it is getting here faster than I thought it would. I'm nervous/ excited.

Hi,

 

I'm going to Dr. Lopez in Tijuana June 22 and it is getting here faster than I thought it would. I'm nervous/ excited.

 

I'm in the beginning phase of looking for a surgeon. Another nurse I worked with went to Dr. Alvarez and she told me she went alone and was treated very well. Dr. Alvarez charges 8700.00, however, after searching around the board I'm leaning towards going to Dr. Garcia, I've read good things about him. I feel so nervous about thinking about doing WLS and it's crazy, some days I'm like I can lose this weight on my own; honestly I've tried so many diets they work for a little while and then I'm off of it and the pounds I lost comes back with a vegence. I don't have anyone to go with me; so I'm extremely worried about that. Although, I'm hoping before the time is here I have someone to go with me.

      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?
