onthefencejenny 204 Posted June 30, 2014 Hey everyone!! I'm scheduled for July 25 in Mexico! Like so many posts I've read here I'm flipping between super excited to start my new life and terrified that I'm actually going through with it! Although I find comfort in this page and everyone's success stories and can't wait to post my before and after photos! 1 KarinaVSGinTX reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bon trin 0 Posted June 30, 2014 I'm July 8th in Mexico. My doctor bases your preop diet on your starting BMI, so I only have to do a 3 day preop. I'm really lucky in that regard. I'm so thankful for this group and this new FB group. I want to use my sleeve to its best ability and group support is part of this journey. Praying and applauding everyone. The fact that we are taking action is amazing! who are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bon trin 0 Posted June 30, 2014 who are you seeing in Mexico? I have about the same to loose, but I don't know anything about plication. I was going to do sleeve <p>@@Texas Jess Hey Jessie! I don't know of anyone who's had the plication. What made you choose that over the sleeve? Just curious. I haven't researched the plication a whole lot. </p>CandyPants81,I chose the Plication because the patient coordinator said that would probably be the best choice since I just needed to lose 50 lbs. the trouble I always have is keeping it off and now I have just been diagnosed with Diebetes. Like I said both sisters have bands and I'm not impressed with the outcome. I was going to do the sleeve till I talked to the coordinator. I did some reading and it seemed less invasive so I just chose that one. I'm actually still a bit on the fence about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GottaDoSomethin' 31 Posted July 1, 2014 I'm July 14th! I can't believe the process had happened so quickly. Just had my first appointment the last week of May. Still have quite a few fears and reservations. To top it off, I started a new job today so this is a lot of change to handle at once! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Living The Dream 8 Posted July 1, 2014 Ok I read up on the 'secret' FB If you were not part of the group before it went secret the only way for you to be able to join is to be friends with the admin. And that person can add you. Otherwise you can not see it or search it even if you,have the link. So maybe the admin can see if group wants to go closed. You can turn off visibility to your feed, I have done this with many FB bariatric groups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can turn off visibility to your feed, I have done this with many FB bariatric groups. I'm not the admin and I just added someone a couple days ago. I just had her friend me on Facebook and added her. Easy. There were a great deal of people who explicitly stated that they were interested, but didn't want to join unless the page was secret. Not closed, but secret. I know how to turn off visibility, but I think it being a secret group gives people a greater feeling of comfort and freedom to post what they want. candy 1 SAP78 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
