I'm having my surgery On Nov 27th in Tijuana. My insurance turned me down twice, and this was the only affordable way. They want me on the liquid diet 5 days before the op.

Hello fellow "soon-to-be" bandsters! My surgery date is Nov. 10th and I have been totally obsessed with research. It's hard to concentrate on other things when all I can think about is the surgery. So excited and optimistic.

HAHA i thought i was the only crazy one.. jk.

i can't wait.. mine is 11/23. i just think.. the more research.. the more successful.

good luck!

I'm sure it will be perfectly fine. The doctors in Mexico are good as just about anywhere just be sure to follow all of their directions and you will be ok. :wink2:

I am going to be having my band put in on November 19th. I am going through all kinds of mixed emotions. I am just waiting for my information packet to arrive to tell me about the pre op and post op diet and to get my blood work and ECG done. I know this is a good thing that I am doing but I have carried this weight for 30 years now and the realization that it is actually going to go away is so overwhelming. :wink2:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
