My surgery date is 9/12 in Tijuana as well. My surgeon is Dr. Valenzuela with Mexico Bariatric Center. Who's your surgeon? I'm on day 5 of my pre-op diet and it has gotten easier. I don't have as many cravings and I'm not as hungry as I usually am. Just take one day at a time and you will make it through this.

Dr. Ortiz is doing my surgery at the Obesity Control Center. Are our surgeries at the same place? I start my liquid diet next week.

I am scheduled to have surgery September 11th. I start my pre-op diet on Friday August 29th. I am so excited but like others worried about what I need to get down before the big day.

Mine is coming up so fast I can't believe it. Sept 4th is when I kick this fat to the curb....for good!!! I want to be thinner and healthier and be able to live life a lot more than I do now.

My pre op is Tuesday. They said to plan for 3 hours. Not sure what would take that long. Luckily my Dr only required liquids for one day before surgery.

I think we should name ourselves Sexy September Sleevers. What do you think?

9/22 for me! Getting all my pre op doc appointments done, and hoping insurance will approve. If not I'll pay for it. It's that important for me! Start my pre op diet 9/8. Had a sleep study last night. Enjoyed my psych appoint! Really helpful!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
