I agree. It so loud and a bit uncomfortable for me. And it doesn't matter what I eat. I am 7 days post-op.

Well I am 6 days Post-Op and I am feeling pretty good. I have lost (pre-op) 20lbs and (post-op) 6lbs....for a grand total of 26lbs!!! I am so amazed of how much I have lost. I have been worried a little about the Hunger feelings I have been having. I am actually not sure if its gas or just in my head. I definitely have cravings but I am keeping focused. My stomach is still swollen a bit, and my incisions are still a bit sore. I have been very careful about lifting anything. My stupid head keeps playing games with me, though. I keep worrying that I will do something wrong and ruin the surgery, or I won't lose the weight, or I will stretch out my new tummy, or I am eating too much!! It gets old....anyone else feel this way??

What a great feeling!! Congrats to you!!

Yes you wait in the van the whole time. It is just congested with cars trying to cross. It was actually interesting to see all the stuff that the people are selling on the way out. But when you get to the officer at the station, just remember to only answer what they ask. If you talk too much it's a sign of lying and they will get suspicious. And they are ALL business no joking around.

I am ok, just having some discomfort in my incisions. But I think it's from doing a bit too much. It's hard when you get home and immediately be Mom again. It took about 2 hours. Are you leaving tomorrow ?

I am glad your doing good! Have you been hungry? How is your pain/discomfort?

Oops! I meant Dr. Ortiz!

Dr. Garcia is SO nice and professional!! You will LOVE him! He took really good care of me. And yes they have done a TON of these types of surgery's. Prayers for you and your husband!

Good luck! You will do great! Just remember to walk walk walk!!

That's how I was with the gas pains and pain in general. But listen to me....I started making myself get up every 10-15 mins and do about 3 laps around the nurses station. And by doing this I started to feel SO much better. Walking really is the key to feeling better. I hope it gets easier for you soon! You can do this!!

Another thing to think about when making a decision to come to Mexico for any surgery...we are a guest in their Country. No one was forced to make this decision for anyone but themselves. If they do things a bit different so be it. But as for myself, who has a ridiculous Private Insurance that wouldn't even consider talking to me about ANY weight loss plan or surgery, I would choose Mexico and Dr. Lopez/Dr. Ortiz again without any hesitation. Plus my Dr's are VERY easy on the eyes.

Actually, I never saw anyone naked, and I really didn't care at all who saw my big white one at the time. It's like when you have a kid. You start out modest but by the 15 hours are over you don't really care how many people saw your private!! That's how I look at it. And my experience with Mi hospital has been Fab!!!

I still haven't gone in. Just done!!! I think I just want home. And yes I am being a Baby.

Ok I did not mean to reply five hundred times!!! It kept telling me that it did not go thru!! Sorry!!

I am good! I am at the Marriott, had a delicious bowl of Chicken Broth for dinner. We leave for the hospital tomorrow at 11. Ready to get the day over!!

I am good! I had a delicious bowl of Chicken Broth for dinner at the Marriott. Now I am relaxing in my room with my Hubby. Tomorrow we leave at 11 to go to the hospital, and I am ready to get the show on the road. Thank you for asking!

Well I am sitting in bed at the Marriott and can't wait till tomorrow is over. I had a very delicious bowl of Chicken Broth and coffee for dinner. We head over to the Hospital tomorrow at 11:00. Ready to be done and over, but other than that I am just fine. Thank you for asking!

That is funny as hell!! I am thinking I need that shirt!

I know I am trying to think that. Tomorrow better go by fast! Thank you for all the support, I feel it.

Thank you. Have some pain meds doing slightly better now. Just want this OVER!!
