I beleive if I didnt have her to vent to PRE-OP during that lovely Salad & Protein Drink diet, I would have went nuts!!!!...however....instead of just me going nuts WE BOTH DID....LOL....her and I did everything together, along with my friend who came with me, during our stay there from Pre-op testing, "THE LAST SUPPER" together, surgery together, discharged together and spent that same day walking our butts off in TJ with my friend egging us on....IT WAS WONDERFUL...i am sure by the time u have your surgery you will have met a wonderful friend as I did....CindyK and I still converse almost every day venting to each other and asking questions...The other thing is....this forum was a great deal of information and strength before and after my surgery....you would be surprised how many friends you will find on here pushing you all the way....ITS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE....I wish you the best of luck with your surgery....please keep us posted.....Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli from Oklahoma Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Karen, I'm also getting banded on the 10th. I'm driving from Oklahoma with my parents and sister. We decided to make a family vacation out of it. My sister, though, will probably be the only one with me in Mexico except on the day of surgery. I'm so excited. I weigh 427 pounds, and I'm tired of being unable to keep up with my friends. BTW, I'm 40. Saying I'm coming with my folks makes me sound like a teenager. ;-) Kelli M.

July 25th, arriving in TJ the morning of the 24th. My husband says I can carry on a conversation with a wall, and I don't know a stranger, so as long as "someone" is there, I will not have a problem. Thanks for the support, and congrats on your new life! I keep thinking how this Christmas I will be so much thinner and healthier and may actually WANT my picture taken this year with my 7 year old! Keep in touch! Karen Karen, I'm also getting banded on the 10th. I'm driving from Oklahoma with my parents and sister. We decided to make a family vacation out of it.

I have 2 grown daughters, and when I mentioned having surgery in Mexico they went OFF! So much for support! I am now officially going on a business trip in July, LOL. Only my husband knows. I told him if he tells anyone, he will PAY............LOL My husband said he would go with me, (you know, one of those half hearted, I don't really want to go, but if you REALLY want me to, I will, comments, LOL.......but I'll do fine. I'm so happy for you! Keep us all posted! Karen M-T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lin Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I have a surgery date of 7/18-arriving on 7/17. I am coming alone and have told no one that i am going. I am so excited because this is a dream come true for me. I only discovered Dr Ortiz's website about a week ago. i scheduled very quickly cause i feel that this is absolutely right. reading this forum everyday is probably why i feel so secure with my choice. anyway, is anyone scheduled for 7/18?

Talk to everyone soon, Candy I will be flying in 7/26 and doing pre-op - is the 26th your banding date? I will be banded the 27th - we should be in OCC at the same time - how long are you at the hotel? I'm out of OCC and back to the hotel the 28th. I'd love to meet up ! Have you noticed that some of the folks that get banded around the same time have fills together - and stay in touch - that's really great. I'm doing well on pre-op, lucky that I can work from home so I don't have the donut/mini-snicker bars to contend with all day - the'pre-ops not easy but every day that goes by we are getting closer to our banding! YAHOO! We are in the final countdown - I'm starting to think about what I'l packing - making a list, etc. Will you be with anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Renee, Just wondering how excited or nervous you are getting. The big day is almost here. I can't wait. Let me know how you are doing on your pre-op diet. I was suppose to lose about 11 pounds but am stuck at 5 lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
