I'd love to hear about your whole experience going to Mexico! I have a dear friend that's a bariatric doc in Mexico and he's such an excellent doctor. Was it hard coming back on the plane? So glad you are here with us.
hugs, Y

Thanks, I wrote up most of my experiences on my blog. My experience has been super good. I fly home tomorrow, so I'll let you know. I'm a little worried about all the walking but I'm sure I can do it. I can always get a wheelchair but I know I won't! I'm just stubborn like that. I'm just going to make my carryone super light to help the walking.

I'm very happy with my Mexican doctor, he really is fantastic. I'm glad I researched for three years! It was all worth it!

OK, you are talking to the most stubborn of all when it comes to "I can do it myself" but please, please, please consider listening to this. You are in Mexico and you've just had major surgery. Please don't fool around with this. It's not worth it....not a bit. You don't want to have any unnecessary complications so PLEASE use the wheelchair...please??? It's hard enough to do this when you do it in your own community much less when you are flying from Mexico. It's a wonderful thing to be stubborn and self sufficient but this is one of those times you need to ask for help OK? Sweetie, will you please reconsider? It's such a little thing to do to take care of yourself and the investment you've made for your life. Be good to yourself. There is nothing weak about asking for some help.

Lap Band on 04/07/10

Oh that's right you're having RNY. I just had the band. HUGS (I do hugs too). Although right now whenever I hug someone I keep banging one of my owies on them. :) Only 2 days for RNY, that will be good! I hope it stays that way and you get to learn more Spanish. :) (I learn Spanish for fun too, well actually it's helpful for my job too. I'm a teacher.).

I so would love to learn Spanish since I'm in Texas. I think teachers are awesome! You are the ones that really make a difference in the world.

Diane:

Good luck tomorrow, you will be in my prayers! I think what you've packed is great and you feel comfort in what you have decided to bring with you. Like you said, it's your trip and you should take it the way you want to!

I had my RNY on 3/29, two weeks ago tomorrow. I took my laptop with dvd's downloaded onto it, but never took it out of it's case. I found I was much too drowsy and when the nurses were leaving me alone, I was sleeping! I did take a shower the day after my surgery and had my own shampoo and conditioner, which was a comfort as I am picky about what I use on my hair.

I just made room for ya on the losers bench! See you soon! *hugs*

You said it! There's nothing like getting your hair washed for the first time after surgery....and with your own shampoo! They didn't even have WiFi and laptops when I had surgery! hahahahaaaaaa.

Diana I will be looking forward to so much more from you. I would love to see those embellished scrubs! You are a delight and so much fun. We will all be thinking about you. I hope it will be OK to use part of your post for my weekly member post because it is soooo cute. You can't imagine how much you remind me of myself! Be well and we'll be seeing you on the other side...cute scrubs and all!
