I know what you mean! I'm going to Mexico for mine. I've never been out of the country before and going to Mexico alone is scary enough, plus adding surgery on top of that... I'm terrified.

Everything has crossed my mind... Getting kidnapped, getting caught in the crossfire of a drug deal gone wrong, bleeding to death on the table after surgery, getting a leak... Those are some of the main worries. Lol

I'm actually on Medicaid, I just haven't looked into getting sleeved here. I don't want to go through all the BS they require.

Jess just remember that me and 2 of my best friends will be there at the same time. One is getting sleeved and one is there just to help us. We don't fly home till the 10th and are surgery is on the 6th. Look for us at the hospital when you are there for your pre op (Jamie Rohler or Wanda Ely). We will be at the hotel the day of your surgery and I will check on you. And,if you need us we are just 10 minutes away. Please don't feel too alone. We will be there through the biggest part of 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.
