Why Mexico? Don't you understand that it is a terrible place?


It’s not that terrible of a place and I’ve done extensive research on the facilities there and have talked to other people who have gone to the same place. It’s highly rated and recommended also getting approval in Canada takes 2-3 years and I’m not waiting any longer to get this done.

May 2 gastric bypass. i'm nervous because I have to travel 400 miles from home to have the surgery, and then stay there in housing until my post-op travel clearance on May 8, so I'll have to plan to bring everything I need with me unless I want to shop there.

Where are you having your surgery at? That's quite a distance to travel. Now you be very careful, have a smooth surgery and I hope you'll heal quickly and well. Give us a report on how things went. okay?

I hope your journey toward your surgery stays this smooth. so many of us have had such a weird bumpy trek there., WE all get there eventually though. Do you know if you'll have a short or long liquid pre-diet before your surgery? It is strange to see each surgeon has their own. favorite plan, so many different methods. Good thing for them all -they do guide us into surgery pretty smoothly. I will be happy myself when I finally get my date.[emoji14]



I’m have my surgery at Cleveland clinic in Ohio. My journey has been very bumpy, crazy. I’m super excited it’s coming up soon. I have to do the long diet 2weeks liquid diet. SUCKSSSSSSS LOL

I also have to do 2 weeks of the liver-shrinking diet. I start in four days and got all of my Protein Shakes today. I’m feeling good about everything and looking forward to May 3rd. Hoping that the liver-shrinking diet is manageable. Good luck to everyone!

Day 4 of my pre-op diet. The prepackaged Protein Soups, protein Oatmeals, protein pancakes, and protein hot chocolate are not good but I'm staying strong. I'm allowed Jello, broth, sugar free popsicles, and ONE AMAZING PROTEIN candy BAR daily. Yes, it's only day 4 but I live for that bar each day. They taste like real food. On the other hand, I'm getting over 100oz of fluids daily. And I've lost 7lbs in these 4 days. Go Me! 17 (almost 16) days until surgery!!! I am so excited!

I have my surgery May 9! I’m excited, but also nervous about starting the pre-op diet. Mine is pretty restrictive.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
