Leaving for Mexicali Tomorrow, Am I Missing Anything?



Recommended Posts

I'm all packed to leave for my Surgery with Dr. Aceves, I'm a frequent traveler but I'm so excited I'm worried I might have forgotten something. Aside from the obvious passport, ticket, credit cards and phone charger, does it sound like I'm missing anything?

I've packed:

-gas x strips

-four different kinds of lip balm/chapstick (I've heard it's necessary and I like options!

-toiletries

-two pairs of shorts, two tops

-a pair of pjs

-undergarments

-a book

-headphones

I'm there until Friday and I'm attempting to pack light.

Some people take a heating pad to help with the gas pains. Also, have you thought about some individual packets of crystal light, or Protein powder like the nectar brand that can be mixed with Water for your return flight home? And last thing is some folks take a small pillow to press against their stomachs while traveling home.

Good luck to you! I hope to find you and say hello when I get there on Thursday! If you find you've forgotten something and need me to bring you something, shoot me a message (I don't leave until Thursday morning). I don't mind at all!

Thanks so much! If I find I've forgotten something I'll definitely let you know! I've just packed some of the lemon tea nectar thanks for the suggestion!

Hope to see you Thursday!

Once in Mexicali I didn't need much. I wouldn't have needed my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury broth if not for the blizzard in Denver.

I wouldn't have needed it if not for that.

Dr. Aceves and team are great. I wish you all a great experience!

I didn't want to start a whole new thread, but I just wanted to let everyone know that my surgery went amazingly well. Everything I researched about Dr. Aceves was accurate. He was amazing, the staff at Almater is fantastic. I did a really detailed post on my blog if anyone is interested on how it went. Down 17.2 lbs since last Tuesday, and I know it's kind of early to say but it's easily the smartest decision I've ever made.

Thanks for all your support!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
