Remember this is a good thing ! You will have a hard first day but you get better each day after .... Do some meditation and calm down . I think going into it with a calm positive attitude you will do great ! I am a 10 days out and am doing great! I have my surgery in Tijuana. Make sure you don't eat anything today but clear liquid and you should be on the right road. Kudos to you !!

Well I have to say I feel you ! I knew my hubby would not understand let alone talk to me about it . So I asked him for his support and told him I was doing the procedure. As for the cost I went to Mexico for the surgery and my girl friend went with me . I am home now a week and doing great . I also told my whole family and Facebook what I was doing . I feel the more people that know the more support you get . Good luck

Hi all , Just got back from Tijuana yesterday . My surgery was on the 19th and all went well . There are a couple of things that I would recommend to folks going down south . First make sure that you have your translate app installed on your phone before you go . The nurses are good but there could be better communication. We found that if you stay strict to the pre op diet you have a less chance of nausea and gas . There were some folks that ate before the surgery like pizza and hotdogs and were very uncomfortable! so stay on task ! We were at the Marriott and the service was great ! The thing was ,what they had for the patience was horrible. The broth was like a salt lick and there was no sugar free Jello or sugar free juices . We ended up going to Walmart and bought juice and packaged jello and made it in our room . Or bring it down with you. Also your own broth Other than that all was good . Good luck to you all !

Well I am ready ! I keep thinking , I was 18 the last time I was thin and this year I will be 50 . I have been on all kinds of diets with luck , but then I come off the diet and I pack on more. The low carb kind of is the mainstay for diet choices , so not to far off for post surgery. I will be going to Tijuana bariatric on April 19th with my girl friend . I am looking forward to life and fitting in to a roller coaster! Thankfully I have a great family and friends to back me. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
