Any other November sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

I'm flying to Tijuana to on Sunday to have my sleeve done on Monday.

Anyone else go to Mexico? How was your experience?

Wishing all the November sleevers a speedy recovery.

Flew to Tijuana on Thursday, November 17 and had surgery on Friday, November 18th. I am flying home on Sunday, November 20th. Everything went great the first night after surgery and the day after were the worse with pain and gas pain. Going home today and pain is not bad. The blue liquid you have to drink for test and the clear liquid for second test is nasty. You will do fine.

I'm scheduled for November 22nd!

Me too! I can't believe it's right around the corner! The day after tomorrow. It definitely snuck up on me. How are you feeling? I'm a little anxious, but nothing too bad. I hope your surgery goes well and your recovery is as easy as possible!

Same as both of you, Nov 22! I'm slightly worried about the liver shrinking enough but it's more like I can't believe this is finally happening. Haha Ready to go!

I think as long as we follow the pre-op diet and don't cheat, we should be okay. That's what I'm telling myself, at least, because that was something I could control. I knew I was doing my part. Whether it actually shrunk from the diet is out of my hands, but at least I know I followed my orders. I worry so much about everything as it is, I try to let go of what I can. Definitely doesn't always work, though lol.

I'm spending the day getting things ready and organized, washing bed sheets, and packing my bag. Is yours in the AM? How are you feeling?

I'm scheduled for Wednesday the 23rd! I'm feeling very anxious and nervous. But then i go back and look at the pages and pages of photos and positive results and know that it will be worth it!!

That is what I do. I also tell myself, knee surgery is more complicated and I know 5 people who have gotten one of their knees done.

Okay, so I spoke to the WLS center today and they ask to move my surgery up by 1 week. So now it will be on the 25th. I am so cautiously excited but I know this will be good for me.

Oh, no! I am so sorry! I hope you get well very soon and don't get too down about the push back. It's still real and happening, don't lose your momentum! You've got this!

4 days pre op and I have to wonder why I was so worried about recovery. I was up same day on my own wandering halls of hospital and drinking fine. Only stayed in one night which was great
