I'm scheduled for Apr 15 with Dr. Curiel through ALM. So excited, yet nervous too! I start preop in about one week's time. I've been purging food and trying to make sure that I have a clean cupboard and fridge because this is going to be hard at first, but so worth it!

I tried the chicken Unjury, and it wasn't bad. I was going to get some diet cranberry to try the unflavored. I have done my share of liquid diets and I am dragging my feet at trying the others. They smell like tube feedings to me :wacko:

I am so nervous but will have my daughter with me.

Anyone else going at that time?

I'm scheduled for April 14th in Mexico. 

Anyone else getting it done in Mexico?

What is the way your payments were made? I was asked to make a cheque to my coordinator and not the hospital. Is this normal??

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
