This is my luggage all packed and ready for my Mexico sleeve adventure with Dr Illan. It's been laying there since last Wednesday but I never got to Mexico. My house/pet sitter had a family emergency and so I had to cancel.

I was so bummed I haven't even been back to this forum until now. I would have been sleeved last Saturday and coming home tomorrow.

To make matters worse I can't even re-book straight away. I'm becoming a US Citizen next week and cannot leave the country without a US Passport so it's going to be another 2-3 weeks. I know I sound whiny but I had worked myself up to this for several weeks, I had been on a liquid diet for a week too so this just threw me for a loop.

Anyway, that's my vent out of the way, I will be more cheerful from now on I promise !!

Cute luggage! I'm sorry that happened, but it'll only be a few weeks and you can reschedule! And now, you've had some practice at the liquid diet!

Aww, that's a justifiable whinge. You must be very disappointed. Not least because you'd done a week of liquids! Try not to be too glum. Give it another few weeks and you'll be good to go again. Hang in there, treacle x

Treacle? Did you just call this sad soul some sort of British bloody pudding?

Ack! To the op. wahhhhhh! It will happen. You will be on this side of things on enough. Congrats on your citizenship, too. Hugs and kisses...

lol no, treacle is a sweet syrup like substance made out of molasses. So, to american-ize it, I suppose it's akin to calling someone 'sugar', or 'honey'? And OI! What's wrong with British bloody puddings?! We make some of the unhealthiest stodge in the world! <she says whilst rubbing her overly rotund belly>

Lipsticklady - Me ?? a "sad soul" I feel like a bag lady (joking !! I know you didn't mean it that way) you didn't - did you ??

Being a Brit - I have to throw my two cents worth in - two words SPOTTED d**k - that should get them talking now ......

OMG they actually censored the word d**k (again) what if your name was d**k ???

I totally get it. I had to reschedule my surgery at the last minute because of a pre op test coming back whacko. It took the wind out my sails in a way I can't explain.

Good news, sleeved a few weeks later and SO worth the wait!

Good luck to you, it will be worth it!

Why would one want to eat a pudding made of blood? I prefer mine to be made of chocolate.

Yay, another limey in the house!

YES !! that is a great way of describing it - I was completely deflated. You spend so much time preparing yourself and thinking about it and stressing about it and all of a sudden it isn't there. It was the weirdest feeling - I stayed home all weekend in a fog, just did not know what to do with myself. So glad that you got sleeved and through it though - that's got to feel great !!

We do in fact eat something called black pudding which is made out of pigs blood... It's delicious!

Eeeeeek! I meant you were sad. I'd be sad, too, if I had to push my date out. Did I say something different in your English?

And yes....we have an international market and spotted d**k always gets my husband and teenaged girls snickering madly. Don't know what it is, but it does inspire giggly laughter for at least two aisles.

Pronounced Dstarstark?
