angelav Posted April 7, 2007 Report Posted April 7, 2007 Hi everyone I am scheduled for 4/9/07. I am very excited but also nervous. I dream about the procedure evry night, but its the craziest thing every time I tried to loose weight prior to the pre op I was unsuccesful. Now on the pre op diet I lost 11 lbs. I am thinking oh now you want to come off after trying for 5 years.It's like my body is trying to talk me out of it. I know that trick. I am not listening because I am looking forward to the weight coming off for good.

Take care! Judy No I did not get a chance to shop. My husband and I just relaxed and walked to help the healing. As far as money goes I spent us dollars sometimes I got change in pesos but I got rid of it in time.It is a beautiful place. I can't wait to go back for my fill. Although it doesnt feel like I need anything else. But I did make an appt just in case I loose restriction later.

Are you not supposed to take any to the US? I hope when I have surgery, then I can go shopping, but it depends on if someone is there with me like other bandsters.

No I am sure you can bring it back but you probably won't have any use for them here.
