Jen!! Welcome! Where are you going for your procedure? Who is your doctor? My 14 month old son is also super active!! He gets bored easily and always needs to be stimulated. So I'm worrying about that as well. My neighbor and close friend will be watching him while I'm away. And for a few more days after I get back as well. But I didn't tell her what I'm getting done. Just said I had some complications since I had the baby and the docs were going to fix it (technically didn't lie!! I had a weight problem since I had my son!!! Lol). And she didn't bother to ask me for any details thankfully. But anyways, yes!! Girl,the way I see it, we are already on the losers bench!! And I couldn't be happier already.

Hey everyone! So I just signed up on here because I'm actually scheduled to have my gastric sleeve done on February 18th and I thought it would be helpful to have some sort of an online support group.

Anyways, I'm a 26 year old recent divorced mom of one. I have been struggling with my weight pretty much all my life but now I am at a record high and I cannot take it anymore!

Losing weight used to be an easy thing for me. Well, not easy, but waaaaayyy easier than it has been ever since I had my first baby 14 months ago.

But not anymore! After a few months of research, I've decided I want to go through with a weight loss surgical procedure. I've scheduled my vertical gastric sleeve with Doctor verboonen in Tijuana, Mexico for February 18th, 2015. That's exactly one week from tomorrow! Eeekk! I'm nervous! Has anybody had a procedure done by him? Or heard of him? I read great reviews prior to selecting him and his patient coordinator Sheri Burke is awesome!! She's like your own personal weight loss assistant. Emails, calls, and texts me back right away with answers to any questions I may have!

I am on a 10 day pre op liquid diet. But I must admit, I cheated last night. I started my pre-op on Saturday. And I did very well both Saturday and Sunday. And yesterday I did great all day! Until it was time for me to get off work. A customer of mine brought in a plate of home made brownies about 10 minutes before my shift was up. She was so excited. This was her 10 year old daughters first time baking something all on her own. Do I tried one. And that one led to two more afterwards. It was sooooo good! But I felt so guilty afterwards.

I'm back on my diet routine today. And I'm determined to stick to it. I wonder, how bad would my little setback from yesterday hurt me and my upcoming procedure?

Also, if anyone has any tips on what I should take with me to Tijuana? That would be much appreciated! I'll be there for 3 days following my surgery.

Thanks a bunch!
