May Sleevers Where Are You?!?!

[Liz210 151]

My surgery is scheduled on May 10. I have became addictive to this website. I am so glad that people are sharing their experience: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. When I first seen the Forum for "Mexico Vertical Sleeve Surgery (NEW FORUM!)" I said to myself, "These people are crazy going over to Mexico for surgery." Then I was curious/nosy and clicked on the link and became infatuated with the stories that I was reading.

I had schedule a consultation to see a doctor about Lipo (appointment is today) and said to myself, "Why pay all that money for a quick fix when I can spend my money on a life-time change?" So here I am. I gave my deposit and set my date; I just want to thank everyone for taking the time out to share their experience especially the ones that went to Mexico. This is an awesome support Forum. I have been on a lot of forums and never seen one quite like this.

Im scheduled with Dr Ponce on May 2nd and the closer I get the more nervous I get, I told my husband the other day that we could just take a mini vacation and not get it done. He just rolled his eyes at me and talked me off the ledge again lol. Good luck with yours!

I will be there around this time too. I arrive on the 6th and leave on the 11th. Surgery is with Dr. Garcia. I am booked for the 7th to have surgery, but am considering changing it to same day surgery and having it on the 6th. I am hoping I might meet up with you ladies!

Have you scheduled a date in May?

No, just wanted to wish yall the best. Im going this week, lol

I am also scheduled for surgery May 10th, 2013 with Dr.Aceves. Good Luck Ladies!

[rollargirl 210]

Yay! Can't come soon enough! Is everyone else pigging out now?? Lol

[Cyant 29]

Not pigging out but I did indulge in a morning bun from starbucks today. it was amazing!

I think I may schedule my surgery with Dr. Garcia on 4/22 same day - single incision sleeve. I have commitments every other weekend and this allows me to skip one weekend and have a full 26 days to rest. A group of us always go out to lunch and that would be 3 weeks out so i could have Soup or something. sashimi possibly.

one thing that concerns me is that is very close to my TOM - has anyone read anything about this? I'm afraid I'll start just because of the trauma

I dont have a lot of support for this so once I do it - they'll be no complaining.

I will be lifting you up in prayer as I do all that is going through this surgery. Cannot wait to hear your story :-)

I think you will be alright. I believe I read someone comment that they leave your bottoms on during that time. They are doctors, they have seen every thing.
