  1. Shari, So good to hear all your good news! I'm even more excited then I was just knowing what you have gone through. A couple questions 1. With the spirometer - what were you up to before surgery? 2. When they say liquids only - can a person drink tea/coffee? 3. They say to be on liquids two days before surgery, so what all did you drink? I have never gone two days without food. Are protein drinks included? 4. After surgery for 21 days just confirming we are on liquids only, can we still have protein drinks? Do all the juices have to be sugar free? Did you drink lots of water - how much? 5. Are there any soups except for broths? 6. After the 21 days what is added to our diet? As you can see this is all about food................. Cheers & thanks so much for your time. Crystle
  2. Well I told my doctor and I'm so glad I did. She just wanted to know if I did my research. Then she sent me for all my blood work and wants Dr.O to give me a OR/Summary report for my medical records here in the event that something happens so if she has to refer me to a surgeon for anything they have everything here. If I don't hear from her this week all my test results are good. So all went very well and I have an appointment with her two days after I arrive home. I finally found a Spirometer today - my doctor didn't have any and then I called one of the hospitals here and they wouldn't sell me one. I have probably spent 5 hours altogether trying to track on down in person and by phone. I think I have been more stressed out about this then the upcoming surgery!!! LOL Anyway all is going well and I'm just counting down the days now. By the way I'm from Edmonton, where in Saskatchewan are you from? Cheers to All! Crystle
  3. Trish, I too have had problems getting a e-mail to you. This is my 3rd try today. So this one is alot shorter than the other two I tried sending today. We sound so much alike with our battle with weight. I totally understand where you are coming from. I too have not told anyone about this surgery except of course for my hubby who is totally there for me always. Unfortunately he cannot take time off work to be with me so I'm doing this on my own. I would love to tell my parents but I know they would freak out if I told them I was having any type of weight loss surgery and then having it in Mexico......To tell you the truth I don't know when and if I'm going to tell them. I'm going tomorrow to break the news to my doctor and I really don't know what she is going to say about this???? Like they say "What goes on in Mexico stays in Mexico"!!!!! This is my last kick at the can for weight loss, I'm so tried of being over weight so if this doesn't work I don't know what will. I look forward to meeting you and your girlfriend. My flight arrives around 4:30 on the Sunday. Have a good couple of weeks and we'll see you soon. Crystle
  4. Thank you so much for your reply and I will take you up on your offer to call you. I am available anytime on Thursday as I'm not working, let me know a good time to call is and your phone number. I'm in Alberta, Canada so I'm not sure what the time difference is. I can't wait to see how things are going for you, I'm so excited I'm having troubles falling as sleep at night......it nice to think of what 2011 holds for both of us!!! Cheers! Crystle
  5. Greetings from Canada! I'm scheduled for Plication surgery on Nov. 22nd and I must add I am as excited as you. I just finalized my flight etc. So I'm one step closer. I'm going out tonight to buy all my vitamin & spirometer. Yes the diet is underway as well. Crystle
