Thanks GirlFriday

I ended up pricelining the Doubletree in Rancho Bernardo for $80. It is a good way from the airport, but I have never been to California, so I rented a car and I am gonna look around a little bit.

I am from San Diego and can vouche for that area- very nice although a bit removed from the site seeing hot spots. It's about 20 min drive into downtown. May I suggest you dehve to La Jolla? It's is a lovely beach town with beautiful views and relatively close to where you'll be staying. Another north county beach area to visit is Del Mar. Enjoy your stay!

How are you doing frza?!! You see Dr Aceves on the 31st right?!!

[Frza 194]

Yes, I'm scheduled for 8/31 and am getting so excited as the day grows near. I'm not really nervous, just hopeful and excited.

I have kicked my caffeine habit to the curb and I feel fine! Trying to work on simple carbs now- Oy! So hard! I'll start the 2 week pre-op low carb diet tomorrow. I know that'll be rough but I'm confident I can do it!

I'm really excited too hopeful and a bit nervous but mostly excited!! I just tried the proasis Protein shot in niagra grape !! 25gm protein 0 fat 5 carb in 2.9 oz!! It's great!!! I ordered it on amazon!!

[moonrisen 44]

I fly in at 4:45 pm. I hope I can get to my hotel, Check in, then change into my swimsuit and go to the beach. I want to see that California sunset. I hope I make it in time.

[Speedbump 38]

Well..... I didnt make it, my flight got delayed in Houston and I missed the beach sunset. I hope that this is not how the whole trip is gonna go....

[Frza 194]

Sorry you missed it. Sunrise over the mountains is nice too, maybe you'll be up for that

Good luck, I'll be thinking of you!

Hi to everyone!

I will be having my procedure on the 29th (10 days to go!!!!) with Dr. Aceves. This is actually my first post on the board, having lurked in silence for about 6 weeks so far. I live in Long Beach, CA which is about 1 1/2 hours north of San Diego. I've conversed a bit with 2 great people here privately, but wanted to introduce myself to you all and wish everyone a GREAT experience. I feel like Dr. Aceves is the right surgeon for me, probably for many of the same reasons you all do. From scouring these boards, I seem to be larger than the average patient, but feel confident that Dr. Aceves has the experience and expertise to safely complete my procedure. I am self pay and was originally going to have it done here in SoCal. However, given my proximity to Mexico and the outstanding reputation of Dr. A, I feel very comfortable going to Mexicali. Plus I'll save over $10,000!

I have struggled a bit with the pre-op diet. Because of my weight I was asked to do 3 weeks. I went through the first week pretty well, but then had a big slip up and went overboard for a day. But I'm back on track now and have made myself the promise to stick to it 100% until I go to Mexico for the surgery. After all, I'm only hurting myself and my recovery if I don't give it my all. I've seen many people say that the pre-op diet is the worst part.....so hopefully that is true!

Will anyone else be there from the 8/28-9/1 (or thereabouts)? Would be great to connect before we go down! I'll be coming with a friend, but would be great to have a sleeve buddy there who knows what I am going through. I know I'll see Frza after she arrives!
