Ronab 23 Posted November 6, 2014 I know what you mean kc342. I thought it was only me. I am scheduled for December 11 with Dr. Ortiz in TJ. I only have a couple of people I can talk to about it because of the stigma of having surgery in Mexico. Never thought it would be a solution for me but didn't want to have to go through all the jumping through hoops to get insurance to approve and having to wait. I have become so obsessed with my surgery. I keep reading and reading and watching videos. I keep emailing questions to my coordinator, who is really nice and doesn't mind all my questions. I don't start preop til day after Thanksgiving, but I have been replacing one to two shakes a day, trying them out. Trying not to eat and drink at same time., drinking my Water, whew....can you sat that's rough going all the time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jelko7t3 18 Posted November 6, 2014 @@Megan00 - I am considering switching for multiple reasons including my comorbidities and the need for the increased speed of weight loss. I am also scared that since the sleeve doesn't really put any restrictions on WHAT you can eat after surgery I am going to fall back into old habits. Long story, but I have a call in to the doctor to get his opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
