I know that seems so long but the time will go by fast. I first started looking into this with my current doctor was last December and it seems like it was last month I inquired about the surgery. What helped me pass the time was getting information, watching youtube and making sure I am mentally and emotionally prepared for this journey after surgery.

January 5th in Tijuana! I think I saw one other gal with the same date! Ive been so excited, but as soon as December hit I started freaking out and getting nervous. Trying not to think too much about it besides that it'll all be worth it in the end, trying to stay positive!

It's normal to be nervous! I started getting nervous too and I have 2 more months! Lol I know a few people who have had it done in Mexico! They all have had great results so far! You have less than a month!! I am excited for you! Just remember that this is for you! So that you can be in better health, to be a better version of you're already amazing self! As the time gets closer, focus of positive thoughts and becoming healthier! Many blessings!

I'm in a program thru my insurance provider that requires me to complete 12 scheduled calls with a nurse. My last call is March 8th and my pre surgery appt at UVA is March 16th and I should be having Surgery In April. This 12 month program has been awesome but I have to tell you I'm getting more anxious as time goes by. I'm so ready and I worry that every little thing will hinder my surgery.

Hi. My surgery is scheduled for January 17th.

That's when I want to schedule mine! 2 years ago on that date I was crossing the street when I got hit by a ford F250 and I was already big but gained a lot of weight from that. I want to have it on that day as bringing my life back to right.

      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.
