Just wanted to let everyone know I am staying at the Marriot in TJ and it is beautiful! Abraham and the hotel staff go beyond your expectations. I will be having surgery with Dr. Elias Ortiz tomorrow. So far everything is great. I will write in detail about my journey after surgery.

Yes. I was sleeved on Tueday the 11th. I am about to leave the hospital and go back to the Marriot. I will post a detailed journal in the next few days. I will probably post a youtube video as well.

September 10 with Dr. Valenzuela and Dr. Cabrera ... I think :). May switch to Dr. Diaz for the single incision. Either way it'll still be September 10th. Plane tickets are booked :) :)

Anyone using Dr. Valenzuela/ Dr. Cabrera know if they do any follow up once we get back home?

Thanks! I got it done on Wednesday, the 19. I'm waiting at the Marriott now and leave for the airport home in an hour. I loooovvved the nurse with the blonde hair and braces at mi doctor.

Jeneger, thanks for your videos. They helped ease my mind. Good luck to all you future folks! Mi Doctor was great.

      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.
