Hi Everybody,

My surgery date is set for August 24 with Dr. Ortiz... and I am sooo excited that my Mom is coming with me. =D>

I live in the Cayman Islands and am flying to the States (Myrtle Beach, SC) on August 20 and then Mom and I are flying to San Diego on August 23rd.

My starting weight when I booked the surgery was 304 and I am down to 284 with my pre-op diet, so far. Let me tell you it is hard work on a very very small island with one teeny tiny grocery store on the island. With only about 180 people living here... not a lot of selection. But, the store has been very good about ordering Slim-Fast and Lean Cusines by the case for me.

Has anyone created a "take with"... "wish I had brought" list for the surgery?

I have been jotting notes down from all the various posts on all subjects.

Any prep info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Dottie

im sooo happy! my surgery date is August 17th and i'm counting the days! im more worried about the flight than the surgery!
