Dec. 16th Tj Mexico Gastric Sleeve Surgery By Dr. Rod

[MissE 8]

Any other sleevers headed to TJ this week?

I leave on Friday morning (From Seattle) and will be sleeved THAT evening!! I was originally scheduled for a Saturday surgery but got the call that a spot opened up on Friday. I thought an extra day of healing prior to flying might be a good idea.... now I am nervous about that decision.

Well.... I am nervous PERIOD. I am not overly worried about the surgery, more worried about flying home so soon afterward. I would love to hear from others who have already done all of this..... Maybe put my mind at ease.

I have an amzaing husband who is going with me, THANK GOD. He has been so over the top wonderful.... I am so blessed. I couldn't imagine going through this alone. He even started dieting right after Thanksgiving so that he will "be worthy" of his "trophy wife" HAHAHAHA He cracks me up! The funny thing is that he SAYS the word diet and the weight melts off. He is down 17 lbs. in 3 weeks. He amazes me. He weighs 215 now!! He is MORE THAN WORTHY!!

Anyway.... just wanted to see if there were any other wonderful people out there getting ready to journey to Mexico... or anyone who has already been there done that.

Best of luck to all!!!

Congrats on your decision! I went there in august this year. Not your doctor, but tj. My wonderful wife went with me and my surgery was friday afternoon and return flight home on monday.It wasn't bad. Anyway, I am down to 280 from a pre surgery weight of 386!! Not too shabby in 3 1/2 months. Good luck and I am quite sure you will do fine and not regret doing this.
