I have decided to hibernate thru New Year's Eve. :/

January 20th here scheduled at kaiser west LA.

I'm so excited! I'm getting sleeved January 20 by Dr. Alejandro Lopez in Tijuana, Mexico! He operates out of Hospital Mi Doctor if anyone else is going to be there! Let's meet up!

Hello, I get sleeved by him on the 21st of Jan. So, we can certainly meet up. I live in Cinti but will fly to san diego on the 20th

That sounds great! I am flying from Seattle to San Diego on Sunday the 19th. Cathy said that I am the first surgery for the morning of the 20th, and my mom is right after me. We are so excited to start our "new" life!

Yea January 13 with Dr Irgau CHRIAS

So time is flying by, and before I know it Friday morning will be here. I am first thing in the morning have to be there at 5:30 am. I have been cleaning my kitchen all day rearranging everything cleaning out the cabniets and even the fridge, I know my husband and daughter think I'm going crazy my OCD is definitely in full force today just want everything in irder before Friday not trying to come home to a disaster. Bad enough I am gonna gave to depend on a 13 year old to cook and clean since my husband burns water they'd probably starve uf it was up to him. LOL.

Happy New Year to you all!!!!

2014 will truly be our year!!

Leaving for Tijuana on Sunday. Can't wait for my surgery date on Monday!!!!!

I'm scheduled for the 7th of Jan.... my doc has advised me 1pc of either chicken or fish a day with soups, green vegetables & skimmed milk/yoghurt. I did hear him say 'no' to natural sugars from fruits but not so sure! Could someone pls advice if natural fruits/juices are allowed on the pre-op diet. Lunch, dinner isn't so much of a problem as breakfast is! Any ideas on how to cope in the mornings? I don't get shakes, powders, etc where I live! Thx in advance

You should probably give your doctors office a call. I have noticed all doctors are so different with the pre op diet. I can have 100% fruit juices but no fruit.

I am 40 pounds over ideal weight and I am supposed have this preop and I am failing every day. My surgery is Jan 8

How are you coming with your pre op diet.

I'm going from Arkansas to Tijuana Mexico January 17th to get sleeved by Dr. Almanza. Really excited for new beginnings !

I am not doing well. Today will start for sure, cna't full around with this.

I know we are in the same boat. Tomorrow I'm having a gather at my home to watch the Alabama football game and boy do I hate it. It's out turn to have the event. I could not say no because no one knows about the surgery besides my husband.
