I'm just curious what weight people had their plastics and if you were at goal how long for before doing it ?

Today is the day!!! I got into Tijuana yesterday, got my bloodwork, chest X-ray, and barium swallow done. I’m checked into the hospital, the IV is hooked up, and they just did the final EKG so I’m ready to go!! Surgery is scheduled at 9:00 AM!!!! I’m so scared but after meeting my team of Dr.s I’m convinced I chose the right place. Dr Lopez Corvala was very kind and spent a lot of time answering my questions, the hospital is beautiful, and the staff attentive. I’ll check back in as soon as I can and let you know how everything went.

Take one day at a time. And try to stay away from food related events while doing this. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

Chapstick phone and charger pajama pants or lounging pants hair ties if u have long hair. That's about it.. I brought those items and my zip up hoodie oh and tooth paste and tooth brush. I literally was only there a day or less and the less crap I had to haul home the better Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I’ll raise my hand had mine at end of October so a touch over 6 wks out. My sister is now going to go forward with getting RNY also, so I’ve been thru it and am about to supervise someone else to go thru it haha. Feel free to reach out!

Premire is a good one.

So 3 more days until surgery!!! I leave Monday for Tijuana and Tuesday is surgery day!! I’m getting sooo nervous! I’m getting a slight cold I’m trying to knock out. I hope I’m not getting sick and it stands in the way of my surgery....

I'm 7 weeks post op and just got back in the gym. It's hard, very hard. I last 30 min and I'm drained after that. If I push myself to do 45 min I'll end up in bed. Before surgery I could workout and feel fine but now no way. Baby steps I guess. Just take it easy don't overdue it. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

If they ignore you and put you off now, they won’t be there for you post op if you have a complication. . I made every excuse for my surgeons failure to return my phone calls or the fact that he was never there and I never could discuss my pain and swallowing issues cause the nurse said I had to talk to him and she couldn’t do anything. It wasn’t until my other dr was angry I was being ignored that I realized how inappropriate it was. And all the very serious complications he didn’t care about have caused damage to my esophagus and sleeve. I now have attempted a revision from sleeve to bypass once which couldn’t be done due to damage at top of my sleeve caused by GERD. so I was referred to a third surgeon to attempt a revision again. I suggest you make it clear that you need to be a priority or find another surgeon who will make you one. I immediately realized how awful the first surgeons office was after getting many additional opinions and no other office treated me like that. Make sure you are confident and comfortable with the person you are letting put a knife to you.

Girl! I'm trying so hard to focus on what's important and the prize at hand but they are really testing me! lol
