Still going through the insurance process. The plan is Sept. but depends on insurance approval. I totally understand going to Mexico. My hubby doesn't know it yet, but if the insurance denies me I will be going to MX also. Have it all researched out. And planned. One way or the other I will be sleeved before the end of this year. Good luck to you. Keep me updated. Being so close to each other we should stay in touch.

I'm in Gulfport, and scheduled for July 8 in Mexico with Dr. Rodriguez. I'll mention that I'm a RN and one of my doctor friends recommended Dr. Rodriguez. I've done my due diligence and feel 100% comfortable with my choice. I'll be having gastric sleeve & currently I'm on my 2week pre-op diet.

It's crazy that you're a nurse, I'm a nurse as well and I'm pretty sure that sunmoonstars is a nurse as well lol. I'm taking a more private road(I'm not sharing with work colleagues). July 8th is right around the corner! I wish my day was sooner but it'll be here before I know it. Are u going to mx alone? How's the preop diet going? Ill start mine in July 19th.

Jc,

That's funny... I guess we'll all be in the same club: skinny-sleever RNs:) In response to your above questions- My husband is traveling w/ me to Mexico. As far as the pre-op diet, I'm only on day 2 of 14 days... It's tough, but do-able! I'm basically doing Adkins: High protein/Low carb. I just try to stay distracted and keep my eye on the prize:)

It will be here before you know it! And just think about it, you can learn from all our mistakes:) I'm only telling my closest people about this; so, I'm glad I ran across this board for support. Definitely, let's support each other... especially since we are both on the Coast and both RNs:) My birthday is 7/7 & my surgery is 7/8... This is my Bday present to myself (the gift of Health and a better quality of life for me and my family) Keep in touch!!! - Brenda

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
