Hello everyone, Thanks for the well wishes and good vibes. I made it through surgery no complications. I went in to the OR and the thing I remember is my arms being stretched out and straped down, afterward I awoke in the recovery room. My sister and daughter told me after making it out of the recovery room, I took a 30 min power nap and said lets go walking. I've had very little and I mean little pain or gas.

For Dr. Garcia's patients you all will LOVE him and the staff. Everyone is so attentative to your needs before you know what your needs are.

Once again, THANK YOU ALL! I look forward to hearing your surgery story too.

I made it safe to TJ Samuel picked me up from the border parking lot. Tomorrow is my day :) I'm not nervous yet but I'm sure that tomorrow my nerves will hit me. Thank you everyone for your support.

My clear liquid days were not that bad I kept my goal in mind when cooking for my family then last night I baked a cake for my niece. I did not cheat on my clear liquid days.

I will report back tomorrow as soon as I can.

glad to hear you made it ok. My family is giving me a hard time about going to Mexico to have my sleeve done at the end of the month. I just need to remember that I am doing this for me and that not everyone will understand.

Best of luck to you on your journey and keep us posted on the post op.

I fought the same battle with my family for a while. I am going alone to Mexico here in a couple weeks. It would be great to have the support of family, but the lack of support hasn't changed my mind. It's just made me more determined. It's that mentality that will make us all winners/loosers in the end :)

Good luck on your journey!

      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.
