Thanks everyone! I am having surgery with Dr. Ortiz at alighter me. So far I have had all of my pre-op labs taken and I will be sleeved in the morning. Now that I am here the nerves are gone and I am excited to be on the losing side. I will check back in when I get a chance.

@@BusyLizzy Good luck with your pre-op diet.

@@BusyLizzy Not yet. My surgery is on Monday.

@@BusyLizzy I'm ready. Having surgery at the OCC in Tijuana by Dr Ariel Ortiz. I did a 2 week liquid diet and followed a low card high protein diet before that.

@@BusyLizzy Yep! I have to leave the house by 3:30am to make my flight.

Wow that's crazy early!

Well I wish you a safe flight, an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery!!!

Keep me posted if you can when you arrive at OCC and let me know about your experience.
