Hi LinzLou22 - I'm also the 12th. Where are you having your surgery done?

Hi Bri_Guy- I am having the surgery done at the OCC by Dr. Ortiz. How about you?

Started pre-op diet today, surgery is may 9. So nauseous from Protein Shake. Hoping it's just because it's my first drink and it gets better. Anyone have a problem with nausea with Protein Shakes?

So finally got my date and it is May 11th. Are there any other May sleevers out there who want to join me in this journey?
I also invite the veterans to join and guide us May sleevers through the process.

I just had the appointment with my surgeon this morning and incredibly they had a cancellation for May 12th (10 days from now ). I snatched it up immediately...can you believe it???

I'll start the 2-week liquid diet asap. So excited!

I am on week two of pre-op diet. It gets better! I was so nauseous day two and three I didn't think I would make it. Decaf tea with lemon helps. Good luck!

Darn. I'll also be in Mexico, but in Juarez with Drs. Jose Rodriguez-Villarreal & Elmo Aramburo.

Regardless, best of luck to you!

Started my full liquid pre op diet on 4/25 and I am down 8 pounds so far. Six more days of these Protein Shakes and then one day of just Clear Liquids before the surgery. The first 3 days were really rough and it is getting a little easier but still sucks LOL. Have had plenty of thoughts of cheating and having a bite of something anything just to chew but I know it definitely is not worth it and if I have made it this far I can get to the end. How is everyone else doing?

How did you find your Doctor in Mexico?

[krosevf30 15]

I researched many doctors and found Dr. Lopez-Corvala, who is internationally known in the bariatric world. He has excellent references. I am scheduled for May 16th at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana. Nervous but excited!

You must be so so excited, so happy for you!

I did tons and tons of research before I choose my surgeon (as I'm sure everyone else did, too!) I finally decided on going with BeLiteWeight after speaking with my representative, Jessica, and about 10 previous patients (I was supplied with a list of nearly a 100 previous patients who had volunteered to speak and share their experiences).

Additionally, I liked the fact that my entire 4 day stay will be in their hospital. I know plenty of people here have done really well with having their operation and then moving into a 5-star hotel - which is great for them. That said, I've had major spinal surgery and donated a kidney to my sister 4yrs ago, so I felt it was important to have a full medical team available in the unlikely event their were complications.

Pre op diet of all liquids is really hard? I have a while but I think that's also going to be difficult for me also your stomach is still full size so all liquids is hard, but think of it as one day at a time. Not in a 2 wk time. A day at a time .Will help. And keep a picture of yourself somewhere as motivation & at the end it will all be worth it.
