  • Yay! Another sleeve buddy! Lol you're so right honey, this is all worth it. We've got to keep our eye on the prize. I think we may all have similar diets. Clear liquid, 3 protein shakes, veggies, smal

I live in Georgia, but I'm actually going to Mexico for my surgery, because the insurance wouldn't cover it. My doc is Dr. Illan, at Oasis of Hope hospital in Tijuana.

I did tea for the headaches but only for a few days then no caffeine. It has helped a lot along with Tylenol and ibprofen. I've heard some really great things about the folks that are having the surgeries in Mexico. It's very sad that the insurance companies do not recognize that this weight loss could save them so much money in the long run.

I agree. The insurance was the one thing I was so nervous about, but my husband agreed that if they didn't cover then Mexico it was. The whole fare w surgery and stay including flight is aprox 5 grand right? The day of we should tell share our weight, and goal weights and check in on each others progress

My pre-op diet start weight was 242.8lbs and my goal is 150. I will for sure share my weight on the day of surgery.

How was everyone's surgery?! Hester I felt like death, but today I feel a million times better! I have to say the worst part for me was the oxygen mask I had to wear after the surgery. I felt like I was suffocating!

How are y'all?
