I booked my flight! I fly down to San Diego on April 5th to check in and get all my pre-op testing done, and then I have my surgery on April 6th. I'm heading down to Tijuana for my surgery, by Dr. Ariel Ortiz. One of my friends from nursing school is going to come to Mexico with me as my support person. She had her VSG done by Dr. Ortiz, and speaks very highly of him and his facility. Being able to bombard her with questions since she's been through all this at the same center has been such a blessing for me. I'm really excited, I can't wait for my new life to start!

Hi!

I also hope to be sleeved on April 6th!

I will be having my surgery done locally. I have heard some great success stories from Mexico. It must be extra daunting to do all the research. That is great to have your friend with you for support!

My date is 4/23! Nervous and excited.

I'm getting sleeved on April 6th also ????

hey! I got sleeved as well on April 6th! Congrats to everyone. Officially one week post op and feeling pretty good. Haven't been able to get quite my Protein and Water goals in, but getting closer each day.

How is everyone else doing?

April 6th sleever here! I'm doing amazingly well. I returned to work yesterday and I have my post-op appointment today. Very little pain, and just a little bit of gas pains occasionally. I do try to walk everyday (hoping to get to the gym starting next week). I'm still on liquids, so I have managed to get my 64 oz in the past few days. Ready to move on to protein shakes! Congratulations to the rest of you!

Hi! April 6th sleever also. Every day I seem to improve but still cannot meet the water or protein goals. Going to work tomorrow for a couple hours and hope I can maintain.

I was able to get in my water and protein goals once I started back to work on April 13. I was on a schedule, and it made it a lot easier. Good luck!

Went back to work yesterday. It was strange feeling so run down at the end of my shift, but I'm assuming that's due to still have 3 days left on liquids, I'm hoping I get my some stamina back once I start on purees/mushies and can start exercising a little bit. Overall, I'm feeling great though! Still have to make a conscious effort to get all my fluids in, but between my Protein shakes and Isopures I'm getting my protein in!

Just wondering how everyone is doing now...I'm slowing down in my WL but I can eat more comfortably now and the nausea has gone since I cut out my iron pill (Dr. approved).
