BrooklynIrish59 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hi deparis and Redgridj, It's natural to get nervous before this kind of surgery, especially if you're traveling out of the country to do it. I am in the healthcare profession and in the past would swear only by my NY physicians. It all felt a little strange to be slipping into Mexico for surgery. Up to the night before leaving for Mexico, I kept thinking I could back out and all that would be lost would be the deposit and the airfare. But I can assure you, all the positive feedback you read here is the real thing! The staff is absolutely wonderful, they know you're nervous and they are quick to put your mind at ease. It's been four days since I was banded and unless I look down at my belly and see my scars, I keep thinking it was just a dream. Other than the expected gas from abdominal surgery, I feel wonderful. No shoulder pain, no chest pain....hell, I have more pain from the sunburn I got while sitting down at the pool. You are at this point in your life because you want to take control. You get to make all the decisions and because YOU are in control, you will do everything it takes to make this successful. Good luck to both of you.

GaGirl77 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'm being banded May 22 and I'm going through the same thing. One second, I'm soooo excited. The next I'm so worried wondering if I'm doing the right thing. My g'ma called the other day and asked how long she had to talk me out of it. My aunt went to Mexico a few years ago and nearly died of food poisoning so my g'ma can't imagine how surgery there can be sterile. I told her not to worry, I had done EXTENSIVE research and until she did her own research to prove mine wrong, just be happy for me. Besides, I told her, when I'm skinny, we'll have to go shopping. That shut her up. She's a total shopaholic When are you girls starting the preop diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so glad we were on the phone that time.. I just picked up my laptop and started reading posts while she lectured me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
