I am also July 16 but in Cancun with dr. verboonen. Getting more excited and a bit less nervous. Just wish it were over. It is so wonderful to "meet" others who will be walking the same road!

I will be getting my sleeve July 12, 2010 at Star Medica Hospital with Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Juarez, Mexico. This weekend is my last weekend before starting my pre-op diet on Monday and since it is 4th of July weekend I'm going to make the most of it. To bed honest I find myself not wanting to eat as much junk food now, I am finally just ready for this change! How is everyone doing on their pre-op liquid diet yet? Anyone find some low card shakes that they like? I am so happy and so scared at the same time! I know that sounds weird but I don't know how else to explain it. I can't wait to hear how everyone's day goes!

I would love to! I will bring my computer with me to Mexico so I'll be writting as soon as I feel up to it. I am getting the super sleeve. This week is going by so slow! I can't wait for Tuesday!

Thank you, This is my first day on 2 week pre op diet. Did you do research on Dr or did someone refer you ?

[mellifrits 25]

I researched after I was refered. I went though a company that told me Dr. Rod would be my dr if I went to Juarez. This site helped me and ton on making the choice to go with him.

Just so everyone knows there is a form on post-op for everyone getting sleeved in July. Can't wait to hear how everyone is doing!!

Sleeve Sister! Here's to the 16th of July (and every other day) being the beginning of our new adventure!

Cancun sounds lovely. DH insisted I stay in the US (I think he was hoping I would quit with the surgery talk) so I'm going to Vegas. Really excited that I will finally get to see the Grand Canyon while we're there. :001_unsure: So this trip will mark two things off the list: Getting going on solving my weight issues for good and seeing the GC.

Life is good. Now that I'm past the first couple of days I'm even good on the pre-op diet. Of course, no one told me that Protein shakes would make me have to take pepto bismol in order to stay at work all day, lol. My body has finally adjusted to them and things are much better than those initial days. :scared0:

My husband is very ok with the surgery in Cancun, my extended family and friends are freaking out. Me, I am just plain excited! I hate wishing life away, but I find myself doing that. My Preop starts on Sunday, only 5 days but is kind of puts the damper on Cancun. Oh well, it isn't a vacation, it is the start of my new life!

Can't wait to hear how you come out!
