Hi,

I would love to find someone who is going to go to Mexico for sleeve in March or April, I haven't picked a surgeon yet but hope to soon. Would like to walk through this with someone else from this area!! I am very excited, but just read something about be sure they don't take out your kidney while their at it! This kind of freaks me out! So I would love to go to MX with another person.... Thanks :)

l live in saskatoon, i am going March 7th, surgery March 8th, Dr Garcia is my surgeon, i have no fear of a missing anything other then a smaller stomach. lol

my neighbour went the end of january, she also had her surgery done by Dr garcia, she is doing great, which makes it even more reassuring that everything will be ok, my only concern is have a low tolerance to pain, but she says she had none after hers.

Hi gl from saskatoon,

Where are you going for your surgery and what is Dr. Garcia's first name, maybe I can join you. Is it in Cancun?

Thanks,

Sarah

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
