Getting closer and closer as the day pass by,...

cupcakewaffelsApril 29, 2016

Getting closer and closer as the day pass by, getting really nervous but excited as well. Their are not even word on how to explain how I fell. On the other hand I know this will be the best thing I can do for my life,health. Not only do I want to get this for me I also need to get this to give my kids a better life. I’m tired of sitting on the outbound watching the years go by of my family knowing that one day I will regret that I was not able to play with them. Not being able to get on rides with them going on water slides and just do everything they want me to live their experiences with them. I do not want my kids growing up saying that they had to grow up without their mom because she was so obese that she was not able to do anything that they were.

Did your surgeon give you a pre op diet list? If so follow it to a T it is hard and we do get sick of the same thing but all I can recommend to you is follow the list do not try to eat or drink ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO YOU.. When are you going in for surgery? Were will you be having surgery at and with how?

I am just a couple weeks post-op. I to was extremely nervous but it was the best decision of my life. I would make sure to pack light keeping in mind you will most likely have compression garments on your legs. Bring along gas-x strips, heating pad and a spray that can be used instead of water. pain management was great for me but there was a women with me who needed to ask for something stronger. Good luck

Top 10 Tips For Before and After Gastric Sleeve Surgery

UPDATED FROM cupcakewaffels

4 days pre

Almost Their the Date is Coming Just Around the Corner.

cupcakewaffelsMay 4, 2016

I have finally talk to the person whom will be picking me and have even talk to Dr,Quinones so I'm ready to go and just waiting for the big day to roll around the corner. When I talked to Dr,Quinones he was so willing to answer any questions that I had for him I really did appreciate that from his part. He sound kinda shy but really down to earth. He had talked to me like I was a human being not just one of his patients. I found that I go to sleep thinking abut the surgery and I will wake up thinking about the surgery. This is a big step and my life is about to change for the rest of my life. I cant wait to see my self in the mirror in 4 to 6 month out of surgery. I just can not imagine me skinny,well how am I kidding less heaver.

I am considering Dr. Q. I talked with Debbie the coordinator. They are allowing me to pay half and then make payments. Scared about sending the money. Would like to know if this is how you did it before I send my down payment.

Do not worry Debbie is the coordinator and Melanie as well you can send to ether of them. That is how I did it as well.If your not sure just pay through pay pal if you decide to go with them I totally recommend them to anybody looking for surgery.
