Good evening fellow travelers. Since I haven't seen a group posting for February/March 2015 I thought I'd start one. I am interested in who you chose and where you're having your surgery. I have not set a date yet, but I will be talking with Katy Floyd (from A Lighter Me) on Monday to discuss setting a date and answering some of my questions. I am 49 years old (going to be a healthier 50's and beyond) man. I am a nurse,working in an ICU, and have been working nights for the majority of the past 27 years. I have decided on Dr Elias Ortiz, with A Lighter Me, in Tijuana, Mexico. I hope to share more of my story in the future.

I start my clear liquids on Saturday...

Hi #mdlange,

I wish you all the best. So excited for you!!!!! I can't wait to hear your play-by-play on things. I'm a few weeks after you at Vida as well with Dr. Lopez. I'm like a kid on her way to the toy store ... just giddy!

Well I'm in this club I have a March 31st appointment with dr. Lopez and I too am excited! Can't wait to be on the loser bench and on the other side

I loved Dr. Lopez! Sandra was our coordinator and she is just the sweetest thing! You are in good hands! Try to fly in a day early if you can so you have a chance to sight-see. TJ is a fun town!

My surgery was with Dr Gutierrez at Trinity Medical and he was absolutely wonderful along with each and every one of the staff!!

Hi everyone. Just checking in... My surgery date is next week, Wednesday, March 4th. It's amazing how time flies. I'm down 14 pounds on Week 2 of the pre-op. I start my liquid portion on Sunday. I'm super excited and now starting to focus more mentally now as it's been more on physical and food. Here's to all who have gone before us and all who will go after us - to better health and a successful journey!

Yes! We are getting to our date so fast. We have been on the pre op and down 11. We start clear on Sunday too. And I know I am the plus one but to be supportive, I have been doing all the pre op cooking and we are doing it together. march 4th the big day!

Less than 60 hours til surgery... down 16 pounds... Start clear liquids in the AM... I can do this!

Good luck!
