One step closer

[Florida Pete 1]

Well today I booked my flights for my surgery. In a couple more weeks I will start my pre-op diet. In the mean time I have already started doing a liquid shake at Breakfast to help prepare myself for the pre-op diet.

I haven't been nervous at all about my surgery. A lot of people have asked if I am scared or anything like that and I just am not. I get some friends who will express concerns about my choice to go to Mexico for the surgery and I understand their concerns but I have full confidence in this surgeon and the facility there.

My biggest concern over everything is making sure I get the exercise that I need. I would hate to go through all this and then not exercise and not lose weight because of my lazy bum.

All in all one step closer and I am ready!

Hi Florida Pete:

I had my surgery in Juarez, Mexico and I do not regret it. I would do it again because I do not regret getting the band. I had my surgery on the 29th of August and I have lost 21 lbs.

Good luck and let us know how you are doing.

Thanks for the support okiechick! I have an aunt that had her surgery done by the same surgeon I am getting mine done with in Tijuana Mexico. That played a large factor in chosing this surgeon. I will keep everyone in the know of how things go for me! Come on Dec. 5th! :eek:
