I'm not familiar with that area, but I am being sleeved on 8/28/14 by Florida Surgical Weight Loss Center in Tampa, FL. My doctor is Richard DiCicco. M.D. I'm glad I found this site for support.

I've been doing my Protein drink diet for 5 days and I've only lost 2 lbs. I know they're looking for more weight loss than that. I have to be weighed in today and register at the hospital. It's on.

I was weighed in today at Dr. DiCicicco's office and it doesn't appear that I've lost any weight. He told me to have no solids until after surgery next Thursday. He didn't appear to be upset. He told me to only drink the drinks until next Thursday. Pre-op is at the hospital tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. The hospital said they could do pre-op on the day of surgery, but the Dr.'s office said they want it done the week before surgery.

I've been doing my Protein shakes religiously and surgery is 7 days off. I have pre-op tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. It's getting real.

Which doctor in Mexico? I have been researching a few & am leaning towards Dr Guillermo Alvarez in Piedras Negras because I found out my insurance does not cover the surgery. :(

I called the pharmacy to see if the anti-nausea pill the Dr. said he was calling in for me was ready and they said they had no prescription. Great! Surgery is 3 days away and trying to reach a real person at the Dr.'s office isn't easy. Everything is computers. Not people. I finally got through to someone who said she was so, so, sorry that my med hadn't been called in and she said she would email me the post-op diet, but neither has happened.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
