I am getting sleeved in Tijuana by Dr Elias Ortiz on May 12th my original surgery date was in June but I had it moved up. I'm not on here much I'm normally on Instagram this site can be difficult from your phone I wouldn't be much of a mentor but I would share all of my journey [emoji846]

How are you doing post op?

My surgery is set for June 20 in Corpus Christi Texas by Dr. Stegemann. Excited,anxious and on 4th day of 2 week pre op diet.

Oh my gosh....I am meeting up with a lady who just had surgery with him. We meet the first of the month at Barnes and Noble. Please join us. My surgery is next week and I am really looking forward to it. My name is Belinda and my phone number is 361-960-3075. Please text me. I am assuming your name is Betty. We would really love for you to join us. We have a few ladies who are going to be meeting up with us next month also.

On 6 day of liquid pre op, very frustrated, having second thoughts, realizing I don't have a supportive family. Wondering if I can do this.

Tomorrow is the day! Congrats! May it all go well for you. I am also in Texas and my surgery date is set for July 6th. Keep us posted.

Mine is June 27th. In Florida, I fly in a couple days before for my official pre op (currently doing the 2 week Optifast liquid diet) and return to Massachusetts July 8th! Good luck to you!!

Sleeve surgery went well, a little gas pain but no problems with nausea and vomiting. Hospital stay very easy, as hospital has Bariatric Unit and all staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. Stegemann in Corpus Christi did a great job.

Hi BettyTrigo! We had our surgery on the same day, let's encourage each other. How are you doing so far?

Hi, Doing good, starting to get head hunger. I'm not sure if the feelings in my stomach are hunger or something else. How are you doing?

Since I started full liquids, I'm doing much better. I'm trying to figure out the hunger thing too. FYI... sugar free ice pops have been my saving grace for the past couple days..We just have to take it one day at a time. Let's hang in there.

Yes, hanging in there!

Yes, hanging in there!

How's it going!?

Hi, doing good, no more pain, eating is going pretty good, trouble getting all the protein in. How are you doing?

I'm having a hard time getting my protein in as well, but that should improve as we move into the puréed diet stage.
