Considering coming to MX to do this!

[caseykc77]

Hi all! So I've been contemplating and contemplating! I've saved up the cash and am ready. Question: do they only do surgeries on certain days/dates? I'd love to know so I can look ahead at flight information. I'd be coming from St Louis into San Diego. I'd love to hear some feedback

You need to contact the surgeon's office that you intend to use. Some surgeon's have waiting lists so you have to get everything planned before worrying about air fare.

LOL yes I know . I guess I was wondering how long the wait list was for some.

some of them get you in super fast, i set mine up for after my daughters birthday, so surgery date is April 5th.
I couldnt get in any earlier....
I have an AMAZING coordinator who has been there for my best friend, her mom, and several others... let me know if you are curious for his info.

My surgery date is Feb 28!!!! I am excited! Who is your surgeon? Mine is Dr Green

[bianca_g_h]

Dr.Jesús Enrique Grimaldi-- im so super excited, im a planner, so im making sure i have everything, the unfortunate part about it, is that they wants us to get gas x strips and they dont sell them anymore?

[caseykc77]

my goodness. I just found STRIPS on amazon and they're super pricey! Like $30!

[caseykc77]

are they normally that expensive? My BFF is a pharmacist, I'm going to have to ask her about this nonsense LOL

[bianca_g_h]

no, it's because they discontinued them and totalllyyyyy upped the price for bariatric patients on amazon and ebay.
i dont want to spend $30 on 18 tiny strips

[caseykc77]

I don't blame you. Goodness!!

[bianca_g_h]

Oh come on april 5th, pleaseee? we can be surgery twins... lol

[caseykc77]

reschedule for Feb 28! We can share the pricey gas strips!

[bianca_g_h]

HAHAHAHA awww man :-(
i wish!!!

Congtats Casey! Best to both of you. Bianca Im so excited I stuck Dr Hernandez. Had to push back to June 18 because of 28 day pre-op diet. I went through Weightloss Agents. I havent saved all but put deposit and waiting for Uncle Sam!!

So, I see you guys talking about the Gas X Strips. Do you think the chewables would be able to be dissolved in a teaspoon of water before taking ? Also, what about multi-vitamins? Any suggestions?My surgery is on the 20th and I am trying to get everything in order . I am starting to have all the different emotions and have now started the Pre-Op diet and it is hard .
