Follow-Up Care? Necessary?
ShannonH replied to sirensiren's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Great question! Looking forward to reading some responses. Who sleeved you? -
How long are you generally in pain after the surgery, and what type of pain meds do they typically put you on, and how much do they give you to bring home? I'm a big baby when it comes to pain, so I'm kind of scared....

Juarez, Mx - Here I Come!
ShannonH replied to TheSkinnyCow73's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Wow, how exciting! Wishing you well for a super speedy recovery! HUGS! -
I'll be having my sleeve done with Dr. Almanza on March 2nd, and going all by myself. Am I nuts? Do most of you take someone along, or opt to go alone? This is my chosen path, as I feel it's my own personal journey. My family and friends however, think I've lost my mind for even considering the surgery, much less going alone. Any thoughts?

So, I just made my FINAL payment, and booked my airfare, and hotel for San Diego for the day before. It's done, I'm doing it.....I can't believe it!

Stupid Question -- Tipping
ShannonH replied to Karen B45's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
That's not a stupid question at all! I'd love to hear what people have to say. Normally I vacation in Jamaica, and tip my driver $5-$10, but there's a "no tipping" policy at the resort, because it's all inclusive. -
Jewel....I live in Pflugerville/Austin, and would LOVE to get together sometime for support!

Have Size 24S/26S, Seeking Size 18S
ShannonH replied to LoserMama's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It depends on where I shop. I'm just under 5'10", so some places consider it "tall", and others "average". :-) -

ShannonH replied to LoserMama's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm currently in 18/20 tall. Hopefully it changes soon after surgery, but by then, you'll be even smaller. :-) :bigear: -
Just enjoyed my last Jamaican Beef Pattie for a long, long time. Getting ready to begin pre-op next week. SCARY!

I Am Looking For A Surgery Buddy And Support - Surgery 4/28
ShannonH replied to CynthiaK's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Hi Cynthia, I'm scheduled for March 2nd with Dr. Almanza! I livere here in Austin, and would love to buddy up with you for support! Too bad we don't have the same date....we could fly out together :-) -
Does anybody have a tasty High-Protein Chicken Broth Recipe? I go in for surgery on March 2nd, and want to stock my freezer. I'm not a lover of "false broths". Thanks in advance!

Since my decision to be sleeved on March 2, it's been difficult to sleep. SO much running through my mind.

Kathy, I'm going alone. I don't mind though, in fact it feels like I should go alone. :-) -

I'm So Scared Of Being Hungry!
ShannonH replied to ShannonH's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You sound like me! Wow, I thought I was alone in this. I hope the hunger goes away after the surgery. I only have to do the pre-op for 2 weeks, and that alone scares me. Pasta.....mmmmmm....that sounds so good!
