Nervous! Sleeve surgery end of June



Recommended Posts

Scheduled my surgery for the end of the month. I am a single mother of 3, youngest is 16. He is going to visit his dad for a month. I am flying down on the 25th for surgery. I am not telling anyone. Hopefully I don't die in the table because no one will know where I am lol.

I just received my sleeve on June 8th in TJ, Mexico. My Dr. was Elias Ortiz and I could not have had a better experience! I also went by myself although I was not shy about telling those close to me where I went! I drove from Phoenix to the Mexico border at San Diego.My organization is A Lighter Me and every aspect of the trip was amazing. I stayed the first, and fourth and fifth nights at the Grand Hotel which was stunningly beautiful and has a floor dedicated to medical patients with an on-call nurse. The hospital was clean and modern and the staff all spoke wonderful English. Relax, this will be a combination life saving miracle, adventure and vacation all in one! Good luck and enjoy! By the way, I had no problems driving 6 hours home on the fouth day after surgery!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
