Hi ladies...my date is Nov 7th. I'm getting excited and nervous. I'm headed to Mexico so that is the only part that make me nervous. I havnt been given a pre surgery diet?? Hmmm

I'm scheduled for November 7th in Mexico!! I'm excited...my Dr hasn't mentioned preop diet yet....hmmm maybe I should ask??

I would ask and if he doesn't give you one I would go on one a week before. It can only help.

I will definitely go on one! I am close to the cut off for BMI so I don't want to loose too much...lol ???Š.

OK, all of a sudden I was just reading through my post-op diet again and just realized that my surgery is one week from today! I'm really getting nervous now. Especially for the days right after the procedure. Reading the post-op info is good and bad because you hear from those who had an easy time and a hard time...I'm getting a little paranoid about the potential for throwing up with the band...I need to just calm down!

What made you choose Mexico? Do you know anyone that had the surgery there? How much is it over there?

That is my fear the throwing up part, and my band slipping.

I did allot of research on surgery. I am self pay with no insurance so $$ was a big issue. I talked to many people and read lots and lots of blogs and after all that I choose Dr Kuri for my surgeon in Mexico. The total price is $5500 which made surgery very affordable!

Try to relax. Easy for me to say, im still a week and half away... lol but each person is different. it sounded to me like the most people that threw up were the ones that didnt always chew, eat slow and refrain from drinking with meals. i know i hate to throw up, let alone with the band. Best of luck to you. Im so nervous too, excited, scared etc...

1 week from today is my surgery date Nov 2 getting nervous as well just to think it is getting so close,my Dr doesn't put you on a pre diet until 2 days before but I have chosen to do my own from some of the diets posted down 6 lbs. this week and feeling good about myself. I do fear the 1st several months post op as I fear the throwing up . I tend to eat to fast and shallow before I chew it up well, been working on this since I had my 1st appointment hope I can slow down and relax. Best of luck to you all this post has been great for me THANKS senior in Va.

Thanks, everyone! I just got a little nervous and anxious, I'm sure it will be fine. Just have to get through the first couple of days probably!
