Mexico anyone? April 7th 2006.

Hi, just wondering if anyone is going to Mexico for Lap-Band. I am going alone and having surgery April 7th. If anyone would like to chat before hand I think that might be good. I don't speak spanish so I might be getting some books out and learning some! Thanks. Elizabeth.

Hi Elizabeth - congratulations on your surgery date! I don't speak Spanish so I can't help you out there, but I just wanted to send best wishes your way for a safe, successful surgery and a quick recovery. Keep in touch! Bonnie

Bonnie, How are you feeling - are you second guessing now you have a date? I am thinking I can carry on this way (morbidly obese) or I can change my whole life. It will be a whole life change - food, exercise, thinking. Now I wish I just stuck with weigh****chers the first time I joined and got this done - still what do you know when you are 14?! Best wishes for your surgery! Elizabeth.

Oh Elizabeth....I am so certain I want this one minute and then 10 minutes later I'm questioning whether I am making the right decision. I think that is normal for most pre-ops according to other posts I have read. I look at it this way - I am so unhappy with my weight and I know dieting will just not get me where I want to be.....if I could successfully diet, I would have done so already. It is time to make a choice - be forever fat or move forward with the lifestyle changes that will lead to a healtier, happier me! I wish you the best, too. Won't it be great when we can look back on these posts and say we made the right decision? Bonnie
