Did you have a buddy with you?

I could not imagine going alone. Lucky for me my husband was supported from the beginning. I just made sure that he had fun and I bought two extra nights the hotel so you can stay there instead of the hospital. We took lots of fives and $10 bill so that we could so he could have fun and go wherever he wanted. Actually try to make it about him so that it was fun for him. As it turned out I was very groggy and I really needed his help especially on the return flight. I can imagine going without a companion it was really nice.

I am hoping to have surgery in the next couple of months or early next year and I will be going alone. My husband will be staying at home to care for our daughter. I don't have anyone else who can really go. I don't mind doing it alone and I think it'll be better. I won't feel the need to be awake or entertain my buddy, I can just worry about healing.

You should have no issues if you are going with a serious company that offers you excellent patient services, they must not live you alone, someone has to take care of you at the hospital, recovery house and hotel, since you will stay two days after they discharge you from the hospital, make sure, you will have someone taking you for walks, sightseeing, if you are interested in visiting certain places, that person must help you, or just order you food, so, before coming, make a good research.

Best regards,

Ana Tèllez

Haha. I booked with you, Ana. :D I have no worries that I'll be well taken care of next week when I'm in Mexico! I am going alone. I am not concerned at all about my stay, I know I'll be taken care of. I have some concern about the trip home, but I'll manage. I'll just have to ask for help if I need it.

I'm so excited!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
