Anybody out there? I haven't scheduled yet, but it will certainly be in November. I'm still doing a little research, a bit nervous about traveling to Mexico by myself.

Happy its going good for you.

I just reached the point in my preop diet that i have to drink the special drink they provided and cut one of my snacks. I am struggling. Those of you on pure liquid preop are my new heros.

4 more days.
