Thank You. I had my surgery in Tiajuana so I could not reply. I am going to post an update.

I've really enjoyed your updates and the information you've shared about your surgery and recovery. Thanks for keeping us all informed! I'm looking forward to following along with everyone here as we all continue this process together, as much as a bunch of strangers on the internet can be "together", LOL!
Best wishes for continued success, and here's to smooth sailing for everyone coming up on their surgeries!

Thanks! If you don't mind me asking, what is your current stage of the post op diet? Is it going OK for you?

I was allowed to continue my own liquid diet up to the operation, because I had lost over 10% of my body weight since my initial sets of consultations in early October. It's pretty easy for me too.
I finished up my pre-op yesterday, with a follow up with my GI *****commended the surgery: my esophagus is rotting away due to severe GERD and I have severe gastroparisis. This is supposed to help if not cure both. I also have hypertension, sleep apnea (I have to bring my CPAP with me), degenerative arthritis.
I wish you all the best too. We'll have to stay in touch and compare notes!

Nine days on liquid diet. I am on day three. So far so good. I have a class tomorrow then meet with the surgeon. I am pre registered and spoke to a nurse in a phone review of my health and meds etc.
I have to bring my bipap machine with me. I have sleep apnea, severe gastric disease, high blood pressure and borderline diabetes. I am looking forward to alleviating, if not removing, these issues after surgery. I wish you the best for your surgery. I am glad I found this group, too.
