I won't be able to make the 20th now. I get to watch my niece in southern mn for the weekend. I wish I could be in 2 places at once...

Well I made it through and am finally on the other side of surgery. It's been a week and a day and I'm feeling pretty good , just sore, as if I had done 3000 sit ups. Did any one else feel this way? Just want to make sure this is something normal. I cannot say enough good things about having it done in Tijuana. Amazing doctor, nurses, and other staff. Utmost in quality of care and level of medical facilities. Nothing fancy like you'd find at a hospital like Woowinds, but a nice and well run place nonetheless. I would recommend it to anyone who cannot get insurance coverage or who wants to get it done without the six months process of pre op appointments. With airfare, the entire cost was under $5000. Since pre op diet began through today, I've lost 16 pounds, which is very encouraging. Looking forward to seeing everyone later this month. Did we choose a Saturday? I can't remember.

Yay! I'm glad everything is going well! Yes my abs felt like I overdid sit-ups for a while. Once I started doing sit-ups it realized how much cutting through the stomach muscles weakens them! It was hard work trying to get those muscles back...

Hello All.

Is everyone still "in" for this Saturday, September 20? Do want to meet around 11am in Fridley (which as we mapped out, is the most central location for both twin cities members and more out-of-metro-area members.

Perkins maybe? Or do you want to do Mexican for lunch at La Casitas?

I would like a count so that I can make a reservation to ensure table space.

Thanks,

Marybeth

Yes I am in just tell me where and the name of the reservation it will be under

[Quest4TheNewMe 225]

Sorry, I can't make it on Saturday. I'm determined to make it one of these times...
