Thank you ladies! Im getting nervous and excited all at once!! I have started to "detox" this week - from junk food and caffeine; and I am getting my water back in like a good girl... Not so much fun. But my body dropped 3.5 lbs of fluid as a result of only 3 days so far... any drop is a good one!! P.S. Sharon... Oh gosh :">

I hear and feel you girl! I have all those fears too, but I take heart in the fact that when I was on the bernstien diet (VLCD with virtually no carb and no fat) I lost all of my cravings for food to the point where I had to set an alarm to remind myself to eat. My desire was just not there... and the motivation of the moving scale was phenominal... what wasnt was the price tag of $600.00 a month. You can do this.. .we will all be victorious!!

My surgury date is my Dad's Birthday!! (Although I am not telling him about it!! ahah) what he doesnt know wont make him wear down the carpet!

Hey There, I would be interested in additional reviews as well. I am seeing Dr. Rod on May 10, 2013 in Juarez (He travels between two locations I believe). Here is an excellent review you may enjoy: http://www.gastricsleeve.com/forum/gastric-sleeve-surgery-in-mexico/12114-sleeved-on-2-11-12-doctor-rodriguez-@-star-medica-juarez-mx.html

Ugh. Im starting my "detox" phase this week. Absolutely no junk food and no caffiene. Next week I drop the carbs, then the two weeks after pre-op with protien and fruit, and the final week liquid Protein made with fruit. I want to be really prepared and have a nice lean lovely liver! :wub: Of course I HAD to choose a day to loose the caffeine after my 2 year old had me up at 5 am!!! (Which he NEVER does). Again, I say... Ugh.

Oh Simone! Monday!!! Godspeed! Tell us all about it when you are feeling up to it!

Thanks everyone for replying. It will be great to have some support! Dawnie, is your daughter being sleeved too or just coming with? I am going with my BF, and I dont know if I am mire nervous about the surgery or doing something disgusting around him! Haha. We want to hear all about it - it sounds like you are first in line in the group so far.

Hia Dawn! Thatsin two weeks!! Are you excited? Have you started your pre-op diet yet?
