How is everyone feeling about your up and coming surgery?

I worry about excess skin and ageing too fast... I am looking at Youtube info and also Vitamins and food to eat to help.

Drinking Protein shakes and having 80 grams of Protein a day helped one girl

The surgery is USD. Flights were $1640 AUD from brisbane to LA and then a return flight to San Diego which was a couple of hundred.

Cool thanks I have been on You tube like crazy, and looking into the Single incision way of Gastric sleeve. Flights were about $1,800 return from Perth.

I read that Dr Jalil Illan, Dr Louisiana Valenzuela and Dr Fernando Garcia seem good.

How long do you take the vlcd for before surgery?

I made some enquiries in Tijuana at Mexico Bariatric Centre and about the single incision gastric sleeve. Looking at possible travel in September... Anyone else with surgery in early to mid September?
