I am July 11 in Mexico and I am going it alone. Is that totally crazy? I have only told a select few about the surgery and frankly, I'd rather travel with them for a Mexican holiday rather than a Mexican surgery. Please let me know if I am totally insane for thinking I can go alone and not be a basket case!! And let me know if you can be support for these days!!

The stories from a friend who got sleeved this winter and some in this forum make me think that I can do this, while others (and my nerves) think it's not a very good idea at all.

Thanks for any advice and any buddies and mentors and any support!!

I am going to TJ on the 8th to be sleeved by Doctor Zavalza. I am going alone but I am comfortable with it! I have done so much traveling alone and I have seen and heard from his previous clients so I have faith in the people who will take care of me while I am there!

Nobody that I have told wants me to go to Mexico alone. Nobody that I have told has to live with the extra 130 lbs of weig by and the consequences it brings either. So I am doing this for me and I will be my own support if I have to. I have online friends who have used this doctor and that is all the support I need for now. I fully expect my family to still love me when I get home and to slowly become more accepting of my decision once they see how much life I gain from it.

That being said, you must be all in and comfortable with your decision. This life changing surgery will have emotional ups and downs so you really should be confident in it going in.

Also, I'll be your friend :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
