Baby boy you have made a very important decision, but one I think you will love. Please update when you are able to. I would be very interested in knowing about the facility as I have a son who needs to lose about 70 pounds. I will be thinking and praying for you.

I was in the same boat! I'm now less than 24 hours post op and feeling as good as I should. Even yesterday I was a mess, but I feel much better now!

Best of Luck

Best of luck to you on your surgery as well as traveling mercies for your trip!!!

You will have a rollercoaster of emotions. Please keep your thoughts on the long term results. Yes, there will be some tough moments in the beginning, but after a couple weeks, you will be so much better!! I am 19 days out and feel totally fine!!!! Everytime you get nervous, just visualize something that you will be able to do, that your weight prevented you from doing before. That helped me soooo much. Good Luck and Congrats!!!

PS--Walk as much as you can after surgery and ice your stomach...It helps so much!

Thanks everybody lol the bad thing is i think im more nervous about the plane thing than anything else and i hate the part after the surgery when your throat is dried and hurting.

When your up to it tell me everything. I am also have surgery with Dr. Rod on 2/19. You don't hear as much about him on here as you do the Mexicali Drs. Although everything I have heard about him was good. Tell me about the facilities.
