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 :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
