How Many Times Did You...

[PetraLuxor 83]

completely chicken out before that all important flight to Mexico? Did you have a fear of failure with this surgery? I'm vacillating between being excited and being too scared to get on the plane. My surgery is on Nov. 19th.

None for me, I booked the surgery 3 weeks ago, and I'm having it on sunday Purposefully booked it fast so I wouldnt' have time to second guess myself too much!

Yay for you! I'm using Dr. Ponce also. Will you be able to post on the forum while you're there? Hope so! Will be thinking of you.

Yes, I'll have my ipad with me and I'm pretty addicted to the internet so as long as I'm awake and the wifi is up I am sure i'll check in!

I canceled twice with my first surgeon before making the final appointment with Dr Ortiz and actually getting the surgery.

I never really feared my surgery. I guess I knew it was my oportunity to get the weight off once and for all. Once my surgeon walked in the room to meet with me, I was totally at ease, I was ready! Best thing I have done for myself and my health!

I was sleeved 10/8, and i am currently 3.5 weeks out. Doing great, recovery has been easy, and no complaints with the clinic.

Good luck with your surgery, soon you'll be a loser.

Ah it didn't go at all My flight to San Diego was cancelled for some reason (they wouldn't say), the next flight was full, and then Sandy was shutting down the airports so I wasn't able to get to the west coast. Had to reschedule, new date is Nov 8th.

[PetraLuxor 83]

Oh Hazelsmrf,

I'm so sorry that happened. Very disappointing, I'm sure. But they say that everything happens for a reason. Wish you could have rescheduled for Nov. 19 and be there with me. From what Trish said, he has no other surgeries that day.
