Canadian off to Mexico in May

[JillianMarie73 19]

Hello, I was wondering if there are any sleevers here from "North of the Border" and/or any Pre-Ops going "South of the Border" namely to Juarez to see Dr. Rod in May 2013. I am super excited and can use all the info, tips and advise I can get!!

Hia Dawn! Thatsin two weeks!! Are you excited? Have you started your pre-op diet yet?

[Dawnielou2u 7]

I am excited and scared. LOL My daughter who is 27 is going too. Start pre op tomorrow. Flying from AB so not looking forward to the long flight.

I also live in Alberta! Not going till May 20 but I'd like to hear about you and your daughters progress

Hello fellow Albertans! I was born and raised in Lethbridge but now live in Virginia. I'm getting sleeved here on Monday. I wish you all the best of luck with your surgeries and travels. There seems to be a lot of great feedback on this site about Mexico so I'm sure all will be very successful ????

[JillianMarie73 19]

Thanks everyone for replying. It will be great to have some support! Dawnie, is your daughter being sleeved too or just coming with? I am going with my BF, and I dont know if I am mire nervous about the surgery or doing something disgusting around him! Haha. We want to hear all about it - it sounds like you are first in line in the group so far.

[JillianMarie73 19]

Oh Simone! Monday!!! Godspeed! Tell us all about it when you are feeling up to it!

[Dawnielou2u 7]

Newbie, My daughter is also being sleeved. She is 27..../we are being done the same day. Started our pre op diets today..whoo whoo time is flying by

[JillianMarie73 19]

Ugh. Im starting my "detox" phase this week. Absolutely no junk food and no caffiene. Next week I drop the carbs, then the two weeks after pre-op with protien and fruit, and the final week liquid Protein made with fruit. I want to be really prepared and have a nice lean lovely liver! :wub:

Of course I HAD to choose a day to loose the caffeine after my 2 year old had me up at 5 am!!! (Which he NEVER does). Again, I say... Ugh.

I'm not from CA but I'm going to Mexico, anxiously waiting for May 16!

JillianMarie,

I gave up PEPSI first.....Then Coffee...that was a hard one. But I replaced it with Decaf (tassimo) and put Unjury chocolate protien in it instead of cream and sugar and it taste like cafe mocha sooo good...Day 4 of pre-op...doing good so far. Trying to get all my Water in. The surgeon called last night and we chatted. I still can't believe I am actually going to be in Mexico in 10 days...

[JillianMarie73 19]

Super exciting Dawnie!! What part of MX are you going to? I am going to Juarez, and it sounds as though my poor BF wont be able to venture to far from the hospital...

What is this unjury chocolate protien you speak of? Where does a girl get it?

Ashleep, how about you - what part of MX will you be visiting?

Simone - how did it go!?!?!

[Dawnielou2u 7]

Jillian,

I am going to Guadalajara with Dr. Joffe from Ambi www.ambisurgery.com

www.unjury.com the protien powder is awesome!!! My girlfriend went through this a couple of years ago and lost 200 lbs. she had used some of this 21 g Protein no fat, no sugar, carbs 4g....

They have a chicken Soup one...that helps after surgery (they say) as sometimes it is hard to get your Protein in...

[ashleep 22]

Jillian, I am going to TJ with Dr. Kelly as my surgeon on May 16. I'm going through Mexico Bariatric Center

I'm going to have to get some unjury Protein powders!
