I am going to PV for surgery NOvember 16th. I had started the process here in BC but in September when the forums were stating the Provincial government had implimented cutbacks I decided to research alternatives. I have read only wonderful words of Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna. I am confident with my choice of Doctors. 24 days to go!

I'm in the northern interior, originally from your area. Are you feeling positive about this?

You'll have to let us know what your impression/experience like regarding quality of care. I'm also booked for Spring Break, 3/11/13.

I am having surgery with him next Saturday. My friend just had surgery with him yesterday and she liked him and everything went really well

I am booked with him for November 19. The decision was easy when it's all been positive about him. In still a little nervous but ready for the next step in my life. And since we will be in Tijuana for thanksgiving we celebrated yesterday so I could have the fried turkey once more lol about to start my pre op diet so nothing will stop me from moving forward. My husband is going along with me and I think he is more nervous than I am.

Best of luck. What are your preop diet guidelines? May I ask if you are high BMI? I am. 57 BMI, which is my main reason for using Dr. Lopez.

Best of luck and hooray for your friend. I hope you'll share your experience with those of us that are waiting excitedly/anxiously.

No I don't have a high BMI. I will definitely post my experience because I know how scary it is not knowing. I am still nervous myself even with my friend there. Best of luck!

[ready4newme 3]

Sorry I haven't been on had things going on with my boys and their sports lol but no not a high BMI I am self pay and know someone who used him so I was able to get first hand info on the process. Of course I expect mine to be a little different since I am not her lol. And I will share my experience as well. I do plan on documenting my journey so I can look back and see just how far I have come.

And about pre op I forgot to include they e-mailed me a packet that's pretty basic but it's done in steps so I think it will be fairly easy to stick with for the short amount of time I need to. I start on November 1 with 2 Protein Shakes (at least 15 grams of Protein per serving) 1 for Breakfast and 1 for lunch and a salad with no or low fat dressing (in extremely small amount) with a protein on the salad. I can have another Protein Shake in the evening if needed. Then 3 days before surgery I start taking a laxative and will start a clear liquid only diet. And that's it. Go for surgery and follow the post op part of the diet.
