Terrie,
May I ask who you used? Thanks!
I was advised to wait 18 month. I'm a rebel and am considering doing the surgery 15 month post op. It is the only time of year that works for me with work, family and all the other stuff that comes...
My surgery went very well. My only problem was acid reflux. Once I got that under control it has been a whole lot easier. Day 15 I was taken off insulin. I would do it again in a heart beat.
I am. I'm in Calgary. Welcome!
Hi Everyone...research your doctor, talk to people who have had the surgery done in Mexico and get their experience. I had the surgery done in Mexico by a great team of doctors and nurses and would...
Hi Meme. I used A Lighter Me and went alone. I made friends while I was down there and did fine. If I could do it all over again I would have taken someone with me. But I did do fine by myself. Rest...
I get to start soft foods next week. I am so tired of soup!
Welcome I'm post op day 8 and am doing well. Congrats on beginning your new life.

Hi Cheryl! You are at the right place I think for getting back on track. :) start with the basics and your protein and you will get moving again in the right direction.
I think you did the right thing. They gave you a time and you were there. I'm glad it got it all worked out.
Wonderful!
Glad you're doing well minus the gas. Try a shower? Sometimes the warm water will get things moving.
Thank you so much for taking the time to type this out. I loved reading it.
Chaz I can't give you any advise until Tuesday :) but what I can say is read, google and learn. That's how I made my decision.

Ladies we are all on the same day! I got light headed as well. I even checked my blood pressure. I was good. :)
Oh and when questioned about what you are doing tell them. Trust me on this. American are generally good with Canadians when we cross the boarder but be honest. Tell him exactly what you are doing....
Hi Katie another Canadian here flying direct from Calgary to San Diego. PM me if you would like and read...read lots...research lots and know that many people go to Mexico to get this done. If you...
All the best. Keep us posted.
Leanng, thank you for your post. Today I needed to read this. Again thank you for your honesty. :o
You guys are going to laugh at me. First I went to my diabetic nurse. I kind of got a feeling she didn't like my decision. I can live without her. Then I went to my endocrinologist she looked at me...
The best care I ever received was from students. I think I would put a limit on it though. LOL Like don't bug me when I'm sleeping. The students also learnt that I gave myself my insulin and that was...
Jim! You are from Calgary as well! Great advise everyone. Don't beat yourself up. Just do what you can, learn from this and move on. You have lost so much weight. I'm thinking you are doing great.
You look fantastic. Great job!
