Surgery Scheduled

I'm March 18th too! With Dr. Lopez in Tijuana!  So nice to see someone else going to mexico the same day!

That's awesome. We will have to keep tabs on each other. LOL. Have you started your liquid diet yet? What did you choose for a protein shake?

Treena

I started today actually, protein shake for breakfast and lunch and a salad with protein for dinner until 3 days before than go all out clear liquid diet.  I have a few different ones I'm using. I actually picked up some carnation complete breakfast shakes which are super tasty, then I have stole some of my hubby's muscle building protein shake for lunch today because it's super tasty.  I just ordered some "Designer Whey Protein 2 Go" packets, they are different flavors and are like the little packets you use to flavor water bottles with, just dump it into your water drink and go.  I hope they're tasty because I ordered 3 boxes lol.

Lucky gal I don't get any solid food. Just liquids. I'm on my way to walmart and Costco now to check out the shakes. Starting tomorrow. Nervous excited scared all these emotions are a rollercoaster.

I'm just counting down the hours until that salad tonight, believe you me!  Do you have anyone going with you or will it be just you going to Mexico?  I think I passed the point of nervousness, I'm just excited to get there and get it done ha! There's still a twinge of nervousness with it because I'll be going it alone, and mostly because I don't wanna have to do any surgery by myself, but I know I have a large support system back home that will be checking in on my constantly!

LOL, I bet you are. I would be too. Yes my mom is going with me. I'm sorry you are going alone, I can't even imagine how hard that would be. I have lots of support here too but do have some that just don't want me to do it! I can understand their concerns but my health is a concern too! I'm excited too.

My husband had laproscopic RNY with Dr. Joya, 3 yrs ago in May!  He lost 140 lbs, & has maintained that to date!  Dr. Joya & his team are magnificent!  Although language might be an issue with some of the nurses, it can all be worked out! He suffered a blockage about 10 days post op & was treated in Medicine Hat Hospital with no problems or concerns.  We had consulted with our AB Doctor prior to going to Mexico & he was over the moon supportive!  Dr. Joya will give you all your medical records & x-rays, in the event there are problems.  When my husband got sick, I immediately called him, left a message & he returned my call within 10 minutes! 

Thanks Rosalie! Nice to hear from someone else that has seen Dr Joya. I'm nervous to even go to my family doctor. I already know what she's going to say. So needless to say I won't go. LOL.

How are you?? I hope everything went well! :)

Everything went well! Thank you for asking and for thinking about me! I am anxious to get back home with my family! I am having some headaches and bloating but it seems to be the norm from what I've read!
