Namaste6 82 Posted October 4, 2015 Congratulations! I just got my date of November 5th! I'm so nervous and excited ... I tried to start a forum but so far no luck on comments back is there something I'm missing? .......... does anyone know if teas are allowed the first couple weeks after surgery? Ask your surgeon or your nutritionist. I don't drink coffee, but I am a big Tea junkie. They told me I could have decaffeinated herbal tea in phase 1 after surgery (not too hot) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Half of Bri 115 Posted October 4, 2015 I'm hoping and praying for a late November date. They told me there are 3 dates left in Nov and I am getting my checklist done much faster than those that they expected to fill those dates...I'm already scheduled for my last two checklist items (Blood work & NUT). I started my pre-op diet 3 days ago, so fingers crossed! Good luck to you all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NMFGAZ 26 Posted October 4, 2015 I actually went to see the facility and I think it's okay. Might be a little more comfortable if it were more like a U.S. Hospital rather than an outpatient facility with overnight beds. I am less nervous about going than about sharing my choice with other people...my family would go nuts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munc0911 11 Posted October 5, 2015 I understand but u need to do whats right for u, i wish I was brave enough , would save me a lot of money since I am paying out of pocket since insurance will not cover! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NMFGAZ 26 Posted October 5, 2015 Two years ago when I leave Oakes into this I wouldn't have guessed I'd choose Mexico...researched well...even made the site visit to meet the doctor. He is not the cheapest guy down there. Make that "when I first looked into this" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
