Karen B45 38 Posted March 4, 2012 How was your travel and stay? I am terrified to go across and into Mexico. My family keeps pulling up articles and such of the crime trying to scare me. I laugh it off but I am scared!! You know how I look at it....you are with the driver when you leave the hospital and go to the hotel, and you don't have to leave the hotel grounds if you don't want. I agree with ShoeLover, there is crime everywhere, just use common sense and don't go in bad areas and you will be fine. But I do understand the concern.

ursiboo72 21 Posted March 4, 2012 I am having sleeve surgery with Dr. Garcia on April 11, 2012. I am so excited. Thank you ladies for sharing your experiences. I can't wait to be on the losing side of this weight loss battle. Did any of you do the pre-op diet? How was it? I was told I would need to do the pre-op diet for 10 -14 days due to my BMI. 1 andkel30 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spadesmcloven 8 Posted March 4, 2012 Wel last night I went to the ER thinking it was my gall bladder, but they said it is my band. Luckily my insurance will pay for the removal. I am suppose to get it out either Tuesday or Thursday thank goodness. I am more than ready. I guess after the healing time from that then I will try to schedule for sometime in may. I just hope Dr.Garcia will still do a sleeve for me since my bmi is already 30.2. I know they do the removal to sleeve with a low bmi but since it will already be out I'm thinking he will say no:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2bsmallagain 156 Posted March 4, 2012 I was wondering how hard it is to actually do the pre op diet and how much weight does it make you lose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a little concerned about overeating after the surgery and the surgery being in vane. Can you explain what you mean and what your feeling when you eat? Thank you I would drink and didn't get the full feeling I wasn't hungry either but recently I drunk to much Water and I knew I had to much I felt full but my hunger has returned full force I'm hungry and the liquids wasn't keeping me statisfied.. But that was my first week I wasn't hungry at all so when I would drink I couldn't tell if I was full or not because I wasn't drinking that much but as soon as I did 4 oz I realized what full was. My sleeve is tricky....I've moved to soft diet had a crab leg today and I was full I was a Lil scared but it went down ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
