This will be my official last post as a Pre Op. I had my Sleeve surgery on 10/1 in Mexico at the Fabulous Hospital BC in Tijuana. My surgeon was Dr. Illan and his Team. He is marvelous surgeon! And the staff at Hospital BC treat you like you are family. I have had absolutely no problems and since surgery have lost 24 lbs. I'm not sure I could have been as successful as I currently have been without the wisdom and random questions put out there by all of you. You have all been my life line in times of doubt and panic, anxiety and fear. I can never thank those of you who have been here.
Although I will be moving my main attention to the Post Op forum for help. Anyone of your detractors who may tell you this is the easy way out is full of bologna. Just ask them to give up a lifetime of bad eating and eating what ever you wanted, when ever you wanted to a a small amount of (2 to 4 oz) Healthy Foods for an indefinite period of time. This little fact isn't here to scare anyone, it's just the reality of my passed 3 weeks. My husband has gone through a steep learning curve as well. He has been marvelous and is learning about my diet, has been altering his. He is now losing weight as well.
For those of you who are for one reason or another are going this alone, don't be discouraged! Just remember, in nature the most unattractive caterpillars, through a great metamorphosis turning into the most beautiful butterflies. And they go it alone as well! You my friends are starting that journey.
So with all of this said, go have your surgery, live long, live healthy! And just remember, I'm still watching you.....
