stormy

Well we are back and the real work begins. I guess the only problem I am having so far is taking my medication. I crushed them up but when I tried to take it, I threw up, it is horrible. I dont know what I am going to do about that, I have to take my medication, it is so important. Today, I am going to try to take it whole, one pill at a time and see what happens. There has got to be a way. Otherwise, I think I am ok. I little hungry. But I like to have juice. I will go buy more today. I just have to make sure to take my fiber, I have not gone in two days, I am concerned. The trip was wonderful and it is great to be home with my son again. He missed me, I can tell. We missed him bad too. All and all it was a good experience.

We got home and it was raining. Yuck! I am drinking my vitamin juice now and I feel pretty good. I hope to sleep well tonight. Thank you everyone for your support this was a wonderful experience. I will keep you updated on progress. YOU ALL ROCK. Oh YA---CHARLENE!!!!!!!! My buddy, if you are out there. Thanks again. PS DONT EAT IT! HA! Keep in touch

Hubby and I played frogger and walked across the street for Lime popcycles. I think we thought we were starving. Today I had some tea and we are leaving for the airport. I can't wait to see my son. the whole experience has been incedible. Charlene, a friend we met here, she got banded too. She was the greatest. She made the whole trip a blast. Thanks for all the shopping tips. I even got a huge simbraro sp?" We have so much stuff to take home. I am so excited. What an incredible adventure. I hope I can stick to the liquids. I know I can, It is all in my head. With hubby at my side. I know we can do this. I think I have already lost weight. I feel great. Thank you all for putting up with me!!!! YOU ROCK!! Oh ya. The dr. Dr Ortiz-- OH MY GOD--- What a hottie!!! I got a hug. HE is so funny

I think I am hungry. Not sure. Dont we get chicken broth or something. These drinks are not enough. It feels weird, I feel like I need food.

It wasnt that bad. I made it. I am sore but doing ok. Dr Ortiz said I had hiadial Hernia and he fixed it. WOW. Guess I will be sore longer. But I am going to back to bed. YOU GUYS ROCK. And so Does the DOC, he is no HOT! He kissed me on the cheek. What a sweety. Talk to you soon

It is 6:45 am, we got here yesterday and we were so tired. When we got to the airport, the van was not there, so we had to call. Of course this made my anxiety go up. But we found him and he brought us to the hotel. It is nice. We had a small dinner and I had a marjarita, I just had too, I am so bad, then we went off to sleep. We ended up meeting some people before dinner that were coming back from having it done and they said it was easy. So as we wait here now I am nervous but I think it will be ok. Still havent figured out how to get to revelelution ave from here. I think I will have to take a cab,m but I really want to shop. I miss my son terribly and have cried several times. Babysitter says he is ok but I dont know, she wouldnt tell me if he was bad. All I know is I miss him. I hope this time goes fast so I can be with him again. I love that little guy. Anyhow, I will check back when it is over. Have a good day.

Wow you rock. He played with my hair all night. I know he is going to miss me.

Your right, I have major anxiety issues. Maybe I better get some xanax while I am down there. HA I dont think I will sleep at all tonight. I will have to take a full ambien. This is a scarry thing for me. you guys help me so much. I know I can do this. I guess I am just scarred. I am a big weenie! HA!

WOW you look incredible. I hope I do that well. Thanks, keep us up to date please.!!!

We leave tomorrow and dont come back until Sunday night, that is longer than 72 hours right? your right, I am packing too much, I am pulling some of this out. I totally forgot about him having a medical card. I should put that in his bag. I bet when I get back, I will be saying-why did I worry so much. Someone needs to come over here and slap me around. HA!

I know, I sat down with hubby and tried to give him the run down. He just makes me mad. I am trying to get him to do some stuff before we leave but he wont do it, so I guess I will have to pay someone when we get back because he wont be able to do it, he wont want to be leaning over. I will be glad when this is over. I hate to travel, there is too much to remember. I got my birth certificate and drivers license.

I am freaking out. I am trying to get ready to go and I am so upset. I dont want to forget anything. I feel so out of control. I am scarred. I guess I have held it in. My husband is acting like an idiot. He is not helping at all. My son is sick, this is horrible. I am a terrible traveler. I dont want to forget anything. I dont want to overpack either but my suitcase is full already and I dont know why. I can't find any socks for my son. What if he dont have enough clothes. Someone tell me that this is going to happen and that I can do this. I am crying my eyes out.

I used mymedicalloans.com. My credit is not great and I am paying a high interested but that is ok. In about a month or two, I will refinance it at a lower rate, if I can get someone to do that for me. It just depends on how I do, I think. I have to prove myself again.

So we can't have beef?? Oh my god, I will have to give up steak? Even if I cut it up really small. This is horrible news. I love my steaks..

Oh my god, you crack me up. Can I have tequila put in my band too. HAH HAHA The passing gas part, now that is scarry. My bartering skills are not up to par, they are going to see me coming, this is going to be tough. I will do my best, but a good watch would be nice. What is a Luchador mask, is that like ZORROS mask. I told my husband, I am going to find my latin lover down there. He just laughed, he says he will be my lover, forget the latin. What is up with the vanilla. I want Kahula that is what sounds good. I dont need to be cooking, that is how I got fat!

We leave Thursday morning at 10:00 am

Thanks for all the info. I wont shop too much, most likely will be too tired. We will definately leave our jewerly home. I need to find a place in the house to hide it, just in case. I am setting the alarm but who knows. I still have to get ahold of t-mobile about my phone. I really only want to call and check on my son, everyone else can wait. Well, who knows I may want to call my friend. We will see. I can't believe this is happening in less then 3 days. I am so excited. Now if I could just lose more weight. I dont want them to say no, I am so close but not close enough

So if I buy a bottle, I cant put it in the bag I take on the plane. hmm ok strange. I guess they may think it is a bomb or something. I guess if I do, I will buy a bag down there and have that one put on the back of the plane, I hate to do that, but if that is what I have to do, ug! Ya I dont plan on buying anything like that from people walking up to me. That is scarry. Ya my insurance deductable is pretty good. But my insurance will not give me more than a month supply at a time. So it would be nice to get a month down there, but it may not be worth the money. Guess I can't buy anything illigal, HA! No way I would, now who would be stupid enough to go down there and buy pot or something. That is crazy. The things people will do. I can see it now. I went down to get lap band and became americas most wanted. HA! NOT! I am already scarred to death about going out of state, let alone the country. This is a first for me. If I like it maybe I will go to Cabo or something next time. This could be kinda neat.

Wow they let your bring back viagra, WOW. I take Ambien, maybe I will check that out too. How incredible. I only really need one bottle but a bottle of kahula would be nice too. I love that stuff. Vicodin would be nice too, HA! Who knows. Is there a phamacy by the hotel? I plan on doing shopping where ever they take me. Even if I have to buy a bag to take back stuff in. I love to shop. Now I just have to figure out pasos, I dont really understand it. Someone said, I think 10 pasos = 1 dollar. I dont know, I will have to look it up. I dont want to get ripped off down there cause I dont know what I am doing.

My friends already have a list of what they want. > One wants me to find her a knock off purse. The other wants earrings. One wants tequila. I wonder is there a limit to what you can bring back? Mom wanted me to go to a pharmacy, I dont think I need that. Although if I could find my zoloft cheap, I would consider it. I just wonder if I can even bring a bottle of tequila back. And what a bummer that I would have to tell her to hold on to it for about 6 months so I could have a shot. :-? HA! I really want to find some cute earrings myself. Something to remember the trip. Maybe an anklet or something, that would be nice. Someone told me that I should take all my jewelery off before I go. Did everyone take theirs off. What about my wedding ring. Should I leave that home too? I guess if I did and I found a nice ring down there, that could be an excuse. HA! I wonder, what did you all buy when you were down there?

Sorry, I can't help it. I am nervous. We went to see where my son will be staying while we are gone. The baby sitter has a nice house. I worry about the back deck, it is far down. I sure hope she dont let him go back there. I expressed my concern. She seems to think he is just a regular kid. He is not. She will not understand until she has him for a day or so. He is autistic and can run off in a minute and does not call when called to. I know, I worry too much. She told me that he will be fine, she is worried about me. I am going to stress out being without him. I hope I dont have time. I started having menstral cramps, or maybe they are UTI cramps, I am not sure. I think it is stress. I am going to call my dr just to make sure. But if I start my cycle, I am worried they will turn me away. My husband says it is all in my head. He is very nervous but does not show it like me. I think it will be ok, I will just talk to the advise nurse. It is probebly anxiety. I am drinking alot of fluids too cause I am trying to lose more weight. Who knows. Anyhow, thank you everyone for writing me with all the information. I think I know what to take now and whatever we need we can buy. I plan to take a couple hundred with us, that should cover everything. My friend told me to get a phone card, because I am not sure my phone will work down there. I am going to pick one of those up tomorrow. Anyway, I hope I can lose some more weight before Thursday, cause I have not lost enough. Thanks again everyone.

I sure hope so, my husband and I dont want to get lost or mess up anything. Thank you for responding.

So when I get there from what I was told, I look for someone that has OCC on their jacket or something like that and they will give me a ride to the hotel. How do I know what time they will come get me the next day, do they tell me? We get there after 12:00 pm so from what I read they will take us to the hotel and not for the pre-op stuff, they will do that on Friday before we have the surgery. I guess I worry that Friday morning we wont know when they are coming. Is everything very clear? I dont want to be confused about all this, I am nervous and when I get like that I have anxiety. I need to know times and all that.
