Well, I wanted to get this journal started before surgery mostly so I could record every single thing that happens so maybe it might help someone along the line.

 

Well, since my insurance (Anthem) didnt want to help my husband is paying for this himself. I'm going to Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey Mexico.

I feel really good about my surgeon and hospital and staff and am looking very forward to getting on with this.

 

I won't lie, like anyone having any surgery I am a little apprehensive but that's normal. I wonder if something will go wrong but I've got to leave it in God's hands. I am 41 and have 2 children and one new beautiful granddaughter (Briana) and a fabulous, fabulous, wonderful husband of 24 years and I'm not ready to leave them yet. They all mean the WORLD to me.

 

I am going to the preop diet for about a week or so even though it's not required just to help with the liver during surgery. I think I've got all of my affairs in order and everything done and bought.

 

I have made a really good friend who will be banded the same day as I

Amy (Funny) and I'm looking forward to meeting her and her husband and us starting this journey together.

 

Wep, that's all for now. Will write more later.

 

Goodbye.:)

Would VERY much like to know about the doctors in Mexico who do lap band procedure. Thinking about getting it done there as it is

2-5yr wait here in Alberta. Previously had stomach stapling & gastric bypass & had to have them reversed due to mal absorbation issues. I am told I shouldn't have that problem with the lap. But due to the reversal I am now back up to 240 lbs. I have had 4 knee surgeries due to the weight. How long of a wait to see someone in Mexico? Anyone have some answers for me........
