I'm here, waiting to have surgery with Dr. Cabrera. I'm so freakin' nervous and scared. I'm wondering what I got myself into. I'm sure that's normal, huh? Yikes!

Yes its is normal! I was there 6 days ago and was so nervous the doctor had to give me some medication to help calm me down because my heart rate was high. You are in good hands. Everything will be great and youll be out of surgery before you know it! Well wishes to you!

Thanks y'all! Surgery went well, and everyone has been nice. I've had some gas pain to my chest and left area shoulder, but that's pretty normal. I've been up walking the hall with no issues. I'm glad it's done with!

Everything has gone SO smoothly. Pickup was a cinch. The driver called right after I landed (we got in about 14 minutes early) and said he'd be there in 10-15 minutes. He picked us up and we came right across the border to the hotel. At the hotel, he escorted us in to check in to ensure that everything was in order. Nissi, the local Med tourism representative, met us shortly thereafter.

Nissi met us at the hospital this morning and it, too,was a smooth experience. Everyone has been nice and accommodating.

Good luck on your surgery. I think you will be satisfied! :)

      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.
