dallasmom 0 Posted June 11, 2011 We are excited we finally have surgery dates and are really doing this. My husband Joe is going to Tijuana to have surgery with Dr. Rodriguez in mid July. He is going through Belite and its very affordable. I am having my surgery with Dr. Kim here in Dallas, TX Aug. 8th. We are doing them like this beucause I won my surgery for free:) If anyone has gone to Tijuana, we would love to hear about your travel and experience. My husband will be traveling alone. Anyone else going to be in Tijuana the week of Aug. 18th? ANyone else having surgery with Dr. Kim??? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meggiep 57 Posted June 11, 2011 Hey! Somehow I missed that you won! I voted for you every day. Weren't you Texasmom? I am confused. Did you post that you won? Hooray! That is wonderful! I did not go to Mexico but I think you are so right to have your surgeries 3 weeks apart. (At least I think so- though you ask if anyone is going to Tijuana August 18th...) You will be able to care for one another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallasmom 0 Posted June 11, 2011 YES & YES! Thank you so much. I am so lucky and my surgery is Monday, Aug 8th. I have to do Optifast from July 12th until surgery--which I am totally scared about. My husband is going on to Mexico, so he will be finished and back in the swing of things when I have my surgery. THANKS AGAIN! I appreciate you so much. Hey! Somehow I missed that you won!

becca2297 0 Posted June 11, 2011 Hey- your surgery is coming up soon! Are you on a pre-op diet now? Pls report back and tell me/us how it goes. Excited for you! Vicki I am out of town and I go for my pre-op on the 14th at the hospital and then to the "bariatric university" VSG class right after the hospital. I havent received my pre op diet yet. The pre-op liquid diet is stessing me out more than the surgery itself. I will be starting the liquid diet on the same day too. They told me to just go buy a few ready to drink cans but to make sure they were low in carbs just to use for that day and then I will be picking up the liquid diet that they prefer when I get there. I am so nervous!!!!!! and Exicited!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weho 103 Posted June 11, 2011 Wow, you "won" a surgery!?! That is awesome! It is so cool that you and your husband are going through this together. Even though my husband didn't have the surgery I feel like it really pulled us together. Once I "survived" surgery he became really excited about my decision and has been cheering me on ever since. I think he understands now how desperate I was to lose weight. Obviously you have a great surgeon with Dr. Kim! Keep us updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
