April 1st here. I'm on day 2 of liquid diet. No fun, I'm hungry, got horrible headache!!! I'm doing what I gotta do and telling myself to remember the bigger picture. I know it can only get better from here. I'm getting my lapband out and getting sleeve.

[SweetSusy 9]

Yeah! Where are you going to have your procedure done?

[Sun Godess 21]

i'm going to Mexico because I didn't want to wait another 6 months for my insurance to approve a revision, and possibly deny me. So, I just said nope, I'm doing it asap and make me happy! That means I have to pay, but it's worth it! How about you?

[SweetSusy 9]

Me too! What clinic/doctor? I am going to Green and Health Hospital in Tijuana. Dr. Almanza

I'm March 30th! Can. Not. Wait!

[SweetSusy 9]

How nervous are you? Mine comes and goes in waves. One minute I'm fine and excited, the next I'm just about sick and want to call it all off.

[Sun Godess 21]

I'm going to Oasis Hospital with Dr. Illan.

SweetSusy, I am nervous, but totally consumed trying to get thru this dang liquid diet now. I am nervous about it, mostly just because it's a revision surgery. I am ready to just get through it all and fast forward to at least pureed soft foods!!!!

[SweetSusy 9]

I read good things about Dr. Illan.

I have to do a three day liquid diet. I start on Tuesday. We fly down to San Diego on Thursday (coming from Washington state).

I'm ready to see results, and I know I need this tool so I can't say I want to turn back, however I was sooooo very scared getting my lap band and often thought of turning back. I overcame it and did it...even tho it didn't work...I did it, so i'm braver this time around in some regards.

[SweetSusy 9]

What happened with the lap band?

[Sun Godess 21]

Wow! 3 days!!! Lucky! I'm flying the morning of.

I never got to the so called "green zone" and consistently got fills, and overall I did eat less than pre-surgery, but never waay smaller portions. All I got was increased unbearable heart burn with more fills! I started getting de-fills in October, and then in December and at that apt decided to move forward with the sleeve. Later realizing I'd have to go thru another 6/7 mo process with insurance and what if after all that they deny me? Said not waiting or taking that chance cuz I can just go to Mexico and move on with my life and start seeing results now and be up and moving before summer!
