Did you have a buddy with you?

I could not imagine going alone. Lucky for me my husband was supported from the beginning. I just made sure that he had fun and I bought two extra nights the hotel so you can stay there instead of the hospital. We took lots of fives and $10 bill so that we could so he could have fun and go wherever he wanted. Actually try to make it about him so that it was fun for him. As it turned out I was very groggy and I really needed his help especially on the return flight. I can imagine going without a companion it was really nice.

I am hoping to have surgery in the next couple of months or early next year and I will be going alone. My husband will be staying at home to care for our daughter. I don't have anyone else who can really go. I don't mind doing it alone and I think it'll be better. I won't feel the need to be awake or entertain my buddy, I can just worry about healing.

You should have no issues if you are going with a serious company that offers you excellent patient services, they must not live you alone, someone has to take care of you at the hospital, recovery house and hotel, since you will stay two days after they discharge you from the hospital, make sure, you will have someone taking you for walks, sightseeing, if you are interested in visiting certain places, that person must help you, or just order you food, so, before coming, make a good research.

Best regards,

Haha. I booked with you, Ana. :D I have no worries that I'll be well taken care of next week when I'm in Mexico! I am going alone. I am not concerned at all about my stay, I know I'll be taken care of. I have some concern about the trip home, but I'll manage. I'll just have to ask for help if I need it.

I'm so excited!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
