I'm in St Francisville. Surgery was June 18th.

For those that are interested in a Vitamix blender, there is one on QVC as the Today's Special Value. Is $469.00 free s&h & is on 5 monthly easy pays of about $95. Some of the colors are exclusive to QVC only.

All I did was go see my heart dr 2 weeks after surgery & did full blood work & then 3 months later. Am down to half a pill for blood pressure. I didn't have any issues from surgery & had high bp before surgery. I talk to my heart dr about the surgery & going to Mexico & he was so for it that he said he would do my follow-ups after surgery but I've been fortunate and haven't needed him.

Definitely take extra bandages. I had to send my then boyfriend to the store to get extra. The broth at the hotel was horrible to me so yes bring something. There is an Applebees a block or 2 away by the Walmart & I went there & ate the broth out of the tortilla soup. I was so starving by then & it was the best.

Actually he was & he still texts & ask me about how things are going but now I just tell him it isn't his business any longer. If he hadn't cheated he could be here in person seeing how things were progressing. ha.

I am doing better than I've been in years. Figured out I was eating out of depression with him around. Now that he's gone I'm looking good, feeling good, & no negativity in my household! lol. I like to remind him that my new bf loves that he paid for it - I don't have a bf but he doesn't need to know that. ha ha ha

Don't you just love being able to eat a Lean Cuisine & being full? I can only eat half of one so getting 2 meals out of one is just wonderful to me!

My boyfriend of 17 yr paid for the surgery in Mexico including the airfare - the week before we left he started up a cyber affair with a married nasty chick & while I was in the hospital he was at the Marriott sending nude pics of himself. Needless to say we are no longer together & I got this great new body & she is draining him of his money - divorce, apartment, furniture, etc. Is so funny cause it's his loss & now she's way bigger than me. lol.

My surgery was June 18th & I've only lost 63 lbs - been in a 2 month stall though. I'm just happy I haven't gained any in the 2 months either. My pants are getting looser but the scale doesn't move. Skin looks great everywhere but my arms - so depressing to have bat wings. lol

I'm 3 weeks out & have been taking a Prilosec in the morning & 1 at night & I still have major heartburn! Some days I think I'm going to die. It has been better today so I'm trying to hang in there. It can't get any worse that's for sure.

From St Francisville here. I have Aetna as well & am not happy with them at all. I went to Mexico & was sleeved June 18th by Dr Gracia. Was cheaper for me to pay $5K than deal with Aetna plus I have the high deductible plan. Down 26 lbs so far.

Congrats!!!

I keep reading about folks sleeping a bunch after surgery but I am the exact opposite. Had surgery in Mexico June 18th and slept that night thanks to morphine but have only slept about 4 hours since that night & it's now Sat. I could just cry.....

I still haven't slept yet. My luck I'll start sleeping when I have to go back to work & can't sleep in. Good luck with your surgery. The day after my surgery I felt great but after they made us drink the blue dye Tuesday night, it went down hill. That is some nasty stuff!

Thank you!! Sitting in recliner watching Dallas that I recorded Wed night. I love the new Dallas as much as the old Dallas. Hoping it will make me sleepy.

Thanks so much for the input!! I thought I was an oddball here (I might still be in another area but.... ha ha). It is frustrating when you are already second guessing your decision & you are tired & can't sleep. I've kept myself busy off & on all day today so maybe I wore myself out & will sleep some tonight.

Have a Tempur Pedic & before surgery I could easily sleep 8 - 10 hrs (I could easily be a spokesperson for the company) but now, nope can't sleep. Maybe it's all the meds they were pumping in my IV & I just need some time to get them out of my system. Am so tired yet wide awake. How crazy does that sound? lol
