I was there dec 3. About an hour total getting through both ways. Never felt unsafe as we had a driver. I too was thinking jonney dep movies drug cartel etc lol.... No problems. You worry about your emotions/ surgery and let the staff (drivers/ motel and hospital staff worry about the rest. Enjoy the nice weather;)

5 Confessions (Join In)
Bos123 replied to ebthompson2010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I confess I started smoking again after my surgery:( I confess I haven't cheated once on my eating plan so somehow I give myself the ok to smoke promising myself I will quit soon. I confess I come to this group for support as I feel judged for having the plication instead of the vsg. I confess I am angry at a lot of people and wonder if this doesn't push more people away. I confess I haven't told a soul but my husband that I've had this done. I confess I get annoyed when people say you are lying if you don't tell people as it is a personal choice. I also infests I get annoyed when those people say "give your new tool the credit", I think bs, it may help but it's my determination and want power that keeps me being successful! Whew.... -
I agree, I didn't tell mine either, plus I didn't want them worrying about me. These little guys have enough on their plate already!

33 BMI and scheduled for VG...
Bos123 replied to Didit12262012's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Lets just keep in mind that low bmi does not mean we are healthy, my bmi was 32 and at that I was still considered obese. So IMO depending on your health history you might be saving yourself a lot of problems later on. -

Why in the hell did I have this sugery during the holidays! I'm one week out and craving food bad!
Bos123 replied to blkdiamond377's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think to myself.. What did I eat three xmas's ago fr dinner? What dessert did I try? I can't remember. But I remember being depressed about my weight every year. So although its tough I know this time next year I won't be depressed about my weight, nor care about what I didn't eat;) -
Lol true here too;) have a merry Christmas everyone!

How many weeks of liquid?
Bos123 replied to LeahMae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was three weeks... -
He was my dr too:) love him and dr Martinez;)

Good point.. Then I'm sure once you've been sleeved you will also seek advise from Your doctor as opposed to asking anyone on here who may have been there done that and would only offer non medical real life experience... Good luck with your journey;)

Made my decision and sceduled my surgery for 01/21/13
Bos123 replied to #Redy4chg.org's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I hate to scare people because ( by the looks of these forums) hers is an exception. But she had the sleeve done, they found no leaks. Two days later she was so sick and sore we took her to emerg. Turns out she got blood clots in her lungs an her blood pressure wouldn't stay where it should. So they flu her to the city. She got phnemonia and a staph infection and was in the hospital for two months. She then had a drain bag in for infection for six months ( bs communication btwn the two hospitals that were caring for her). She has to have a stent put in in two weeks and hopefully she will be better ( this should have been done months ago IMO). So it a crazy story that prob wouldn't happen to most. But for me It scared me. I have made good friends on here that are doing great with the sleeve. But so far I am doing great with the plication. On my secret dec sleev fb page there are tons of people on it ( all with sleeve) and only one has had a leak so far and she is getting it treated right away. Crazy hey... Everything happens for a reason I guess. My mom Had it done here at home and I had mine in TJ Mexico so things can happen anywhere i guess:/ glad it's all over!
