    I am just outside of Burns! We are practically neighbors, lol!! Before I moved here I lived in Bend for 8 years, loved it there. At the southern edge right across hwy 97, across from the High Desert Museum. Worked at SCMC. Would love to get together while we are down in TJ, am hoping to take a taxi to the beach on the 22nd! What day do you fly out?? I will do some checking on how close we will be, SeaShell has surgery the same day as I and she will be at the Marriott. If we can't get together down there, I have to make a trip to Portland in 3 weeks and certainly could meet up then!

    His release from school was granted, so he will be coming with me! Yay!! I was really very ill about 3 1/2 years ago and he was not crazy about me going to Mexico either. Bad memories from when I was ill. Of course I am paying, and since I am flying out of the airport closest to him the flights are more and there were no direct flights either Hotel there the night before and the night we come back. But, it will be worth it to provide him with peace of mind. He thinks Hotel Lucerna looks like a resort, lol! The things we will do for our kids!! Hope your liquid diet is going well, mine didn't seem too bad until a little bit ago. Take care!

    Just wanted to stop by and say hi, there are not too many posters that I have seen from Oregon so sent you a friends request. If you want to try to meet up in Mexico, give me a holler... my son is hoping to come with me (he is 23) but his release from school has not been granted yet. Take care, Shannon

It's been a while since I have posted anything. I do try to comment on others posts just to be supportive. I just was too excited today - I fit into my size 12 pants that I bought last year on my last diet that I NEVER got back into. I am now smaller that I was before I was pregnant with my youngest - and he is 14 going on 15!! I am 2 months out and 35lbs down. I am so happy and have so much more energy. I work odd hours (4 on/4 off, 2 days/2 nights 12hrs) and I have never slept so good in

MY experience with Dr. Mario Almanza in TJ Mexico (sorry this is long)...

by JKRsmom on 11-12-2013 at 09:11 AM
Ok, so when I was researching before my surgery I read everything I could and swore that I would log my experience for others...I have been lazy and am just getting around to it - I was sleeved Oct 17th in Tijuana, Mexico.

I flew from Oregon to San Diego (only a few hour flight, but had a lay over). I had worked a nightshift and left Oregon at 6am. I arrived in San Diego just afternoon. On my way there (nervous as all get out), I was putting my seatbelt on in my plane seat - stretching

Feeling Better today - day 9!

by JKRsmom on 10-26-2013 at 03:34 PM
I am feeling 100% better than yesterday. I am able to walk again without having difficult breathing. I think my body was telling me to SLOW down, so I am doing that this whole weekend (besides, its football season!).

I made a yummy "shake" today in celebration of the Halloween/Thanksgiving season: Vanilla protein mix, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and skim milk w/crushed ice in a bullet - tastes like my own pumpkin pie - I was so excited to have something with taste to

8 days Post op and feeling exhausted all of a sudden..

by JKRsmom on 10-25-2013 at 02:56 PM
I have been feeling great since the surgery, but today I got up and I have been out of breath doing ANYTHING. I am so exhausted and just want to sit here. Not sure what is going on. I am getting protein and water in. I do have a sore throat, so I am praying I don't get sick - I am hoping that all my running around (errands and such) have just caught up to me and I just will rest today....
