Going to Dr.Joya in Mexico in 8 days...I'm freaking out
olive424 replied to Wendy B's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also went to Mexico on my own 10 days ago. It was an adventure!! Other than having trouble communicating with nurses, the trip was wonderful. I went to Dr. Kuri, so I can't comment on your specific doctor, but I know it will be okay for you. It is a testament to your strength that you are willing to travel on your own. Good Luck. Olive -
Kim, I completely know what you mean about feeling it's too good to be true. I feel like i'm walking on a cloud all the time now and I can't really talk about it with anyone. Everyone that knows i'm going on a trip thinks I am going to a spa.. It was the quickest answer I could come up with. I start my pre-op diet on Monday. Happy Friday. Olive

Erica, That story is very telling of what we go through being overweight. People avert there eyes to avoid uncomfortable stares. Ahhh well, the good thing about "us".... We will always be fat girls in our heads most likely and this will stop us from averting our eyes and making our fellow fat girls feel invisible. lol... it's clear I have issues to work out. Thanks for letting me vent. This place is great. Olive

KPA88, Hi.. I filled out the info apps for 3 drs.. Kuri, Ortiz and Aceves(sp).. Dr Kuri's facilitator called me first. I like that Dr. Kuri is in a hospital. Thats what appealed to me most. The facilitator said I didn't have to do the pre op diet, but I'm going to anyway. I've started eating slower and chewing... it's having a strange effect. I guess my mind is catching up with my stomach from eating slower. It's interesting when I'm used to inhaling my food, i think. Nice to meet you. Olive
