From Nova Scotia, leaving in 12 hours to fly to San Diego and then onto Tijuana, to have sleeve surgery with Dr.Ortiz!! Travelling alone and its a longggg travel day -about 15 hours but Wayyyyy more excited than scared! 361 5'9" lost a few pounds since nov and am going into surgery at 337. I was desperate to get below BMI of 50 and i did it! Day one of liquid diet....amazing how wonderful that broth tastes! I feel like ive read every forum out there and every post so i feel so ready! im sure i will be back asking questions afterwards!! Ive kept this a secret from most people, just my closest family knows....and when i told them i expected a horrible reaction but its been great! I had so much postive info to share with them and was able to easily convince them that i NEED to do this! (diabetes, high bp, waiting on hip surgery) everything is more complicated when youre carrying an extra 150 lbs! Soooo wish me luck! And ill check back to let you know how it went! Any other Nova Scotians out there, sick of the 10 year wait list to have this surgry in our own province!? Message me!!!
