I'm getting sleeved with Dr Rodriguez in May

May 27th in the house! Not sure if Dr. Almanza in TJ or Dr. Hidalgo in PV. I'm Uber Excited

I am using Dr.Hidalgo in PVR. I haven't heard a lot of chatter about him on the boards here but I feel really good about him being my surgeon so far.

Hi everyone!

I'm Michelle and I am 30 years old. I'm from Orlando, FL. My sleeve is my 30th bday present to myself. I want to be healthy and more active (and skinny but I feel kind of bad admitting that! lol). I have been an ER RN for 10 years and of course I'm getting alot of grief from my co-workers about having surgery in Mexico. But I'm not letting that bother me!

Surgery date: 4/10/15

Surgeon: Elias Ortiz

Hospital: Mi Doctor in TJ

Ht: 5' 6.5"

HW 262

CW 255

GW 160ish

I start my 2 week pre-op diet next Friday and I'm kind of excited but dreading that part!! I'm having my gallbladder removed when I have my sleeve as well.

I'm scheduled April 1st with Dr Curiel through alighterme. I"m so excited!

I am scheduled the alighterme with Dr. Ortiz on April 25th..

I am also with Dr. Ortiz on April 25th, I have been getting a lot of grief from friends and family about going to Mexico as well...

LadyVSG, it seems like there is a lot of nurses on here!

Welcome and good luck everyone!

Has anyone tried or found any protein powder they like?

I just ordered samples of Unjury protein it is supposed to be good, we will see!

I'll let you know how everything goes Amy. I'm not letting what people say bother me. I'm sure I'll be nervous when I get there but I know several people that have gone to TJ for the sleeve at the same hospital and have done amazing.

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!
