In two days I will be on a plane heading to San Diego! And on Thursday I will have surgery in Tijuana. Im packing, cleaning, getting everything set for the kiddos (We have five little ones) and ordering stuff I'll need postop so it's here when we get back. Just had to take a moment to stop for a little bit of crazy and say- I am seriously having 85% of my STOMACH permanently removed in three days!!!?? Oh my goodness. It's so weird and scary and exciting at the same time. I'm soooo scared to fly and have surgery. I hope everything goes fine. I'm going to miss my babies so much. Ah, I'm a wreck. Can't wait until this is all over and we are home again...

Many have had it done in Mexico and were very pleased...I hope all goes well

Hi. Good luck on your journey. Everything will be fine! Just remember: This is for a healthier and happier YOU. No matter what challenges you face, relax and think "This too shall pass."

You are feeling the same way most of us have felt. It is totally normal and I would think it strange if you didn't have those feelings! Hang in there your new life is just around the corner and I promise you it is wonderful!! Best of wishes!!

Take a deep breath, it goes by so fast. Make sure you walk post op and just keep as calm as you can.

Hello, I am also going to Mexico for my surgery which is in 2 weeks and 1 day, I also am not looking forward to leaving my little one, I will be a mess from that alone!
