I am so ready to get this done and over with and begin my new HAPPY_HEALTHY_TERRIFIC life!!! Glad to see there are others in the area....we should keep in touch and support each other through this.....

Congrats on getting your date. I know you were waiting on insurance approval.

Glad to have ya in the thread ms. corky. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> when is your surgery?

I was actually sleeved on June 17th. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks for me. So far, for me at least, this has been such an EASY recovery!

Haha. Actually yes we are getting a little discount lol. If we had done it separately we still would have travelled with each other so more time off work and all that jazz. So this way we can "take a little couples trip" and just get it done. And the added benefit that we're on the same "diet" will make it easier I think. We're at NOVA hospital. Not many bariatric surgeons there because their OR fee is higher than the others (Mi hospital, Florence) my surgeon just started using them so not to many reviews. Star medical is the hospital the embassy uses if I remember right.?. do they do a lot of bariatrics there? We're recovering for a few days at lucerna, where will u be?

Yep, Star Medica is an embassy hospital & yes, Dr. Rodriguez's team does many bariatric surgeries in Juarez & in Tijuana. We will be staying in the hospital for 3 nights. I've read that the rooms are like suites. We'll see:) I'm both nervous and excited!!!

I know! I feel the same way. Really just ready to have it over and done so we can move on to the next phase. I'm sure when I board that plane is when the real butterflies will hit. ???? but.. I'm ready to rock my sleeve ????

Okay Mississippi ladies... I must say I'm starting to get a little nervous... I fly out Sunday 7/7 (my Bday) & have the sleeve surgery on Monday. It's about to happen!!! I know it will vastly improve my life, but it's scary!

It is scary, and maybe a little more scary for us nurses since we have more knowledge of the ins and outs of what's gonna happen. But...I can't think of a better birthday present for you to give to yourself. . Seriously just think of yourself at this time next year, exciting. Maybe we'll meet for coffee when were sexy ms sleeved nurses . Your gonna do great!
