Houston during the week (edge of Pearland) and at home in Port Lavaca on the weekends. Sleeved in Tijuana Mexico on July 30.

Hi, I definitely would like to keep in touch. No one knows about my WLS decision but my hubby. I live in Pearland and I am having the surgery with Dr.Garcia on Sept. 10th in Tijuana. Any advice you can give me for Tijuana???

I keep a blog, although it's really for my family more than anyone. I didn't blog much during the week of the surgery, but I did post a handful of photos of the hospital and hotel that you might want to take a look at. The blog is at http://beawlj.wordpress.com/ and most of the information about my trip is on the "surgery" page (http://beawlj.wordpress.com/about/). Here's wishing you the best of luck, but if your experience is like mine, you're going to do just fine. Can't wait to hear from you again on the back side of your surgery too!

Best of luck!

Just got sleeved with Dr Garcia last Thursday! Bring small bills for tips, bring an ipad or something for the hospital stay incase you get bored... the cable is mostly Spanish.. don't be nervous! I was terrified and they did a great job! the Staff that will be taking care of you is mostly young but they know what theyre doing. A couple female doctors that youll speak with before surgery have also had gastric bypass and sleeve so ask them questions if you have any.. they're very nice. after yours surgery youre gonna wake up with sticky crap all over you! Make them help you get it off! lol REST and WALK!!! GOOD LUCK!

I'm awaiting my date, trying to complete all my requirements! :)

It is a family affair, grandad was sleeved, my mother is next, then me. :) My mom is only about a month ahead of me..

I've been looking for the Texas forum, glad I found it! :) ????

      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.
