Woohoo January 27th 2011!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this board, I have learned soooo much from each one of you. I am at Crowne Plaza Mexicali as I write, ready for bed and ready for Dr Aceves to sleeve me in a couple of hours.

And I am telling you,

You guys rock! Any doubts or anxieties I had, you squashed them with supportive emails-- they were'nt directed to me but to others who were going through the exact same feelings I was carrying.

I love ya'll!!

Blessings!

Anita,

When you read this you will be on your journey to a life changing event. This will change you entire life. There will be some bumps in the road, but we are right here for you. Come back and talk to us when you are having them. You know that the first month is a hardest month at you will ever do. But, each day gets better. It is a lifetime of bad habits that you are going to be changing.

You will be thinking with your OLD brain and it's way of thinking. The mind is a powerful thing that will really play some head games on you. In time you will learn to tell the difference. So hang on for the ride of your life. A year from know (and I know that seems like forever) but you will love how you look and feel. You will morn the loss of food (the amount you used to eat). This really is a normal feeling. I remember sitting and watching people eat and thinking to myself "what in the world have I done to myself.) What I did was something that saved my life, and I no longer will ever be that fat person that I used to be. I saw an old friend who is a Nurse Practitioner, and knows what I had done, she is overweight and I think to myself, why in the world wouldn't she do this? But, she isn't ready yet. She greeted me and the first thing she says is "Hey Skinny" I still 2 years later find it strange when people call me SKINNY. I love who I am and how much I have changed. So hang in there and you will too one of these days.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Thank you for your wisdom and best wishes, I will most definitely take heed to

everything that was written. As of now, I am writing from the Hospital Almater

in a beautiful and comfy private room. Since recovery yesterday, I have walked

the halls in the hospital about 4 times. I thought I will feel weak but in fact

I feel a heap stronger. I get some nausea, and discomfort at the drain site, of

which I knew to expect (thanks to you)

I met excellent nurses Lucy, Alta, Cecilia,s, to name a few

Dr Aceves is incredible, as you know already that he cares so much for his

patients. I was relieved and feeling at peace when I met with him. I listened

as much as I can to everything he had to say about aftercare. What I got out of

what he was saying was to treat our stomachs with respect. Listen to it, be

patience with it, love it.

Dr Campos and Ernesto are so skinny now! I only saw pictures of them on their

website and on OH when they were slightly bigger, but to tell the truth I could

not recognize them at all. They looked even more skinnier and younger looking

to me.

I also adored Dr the anesthiologist my " Andy "

I am soo happy to be here. Do I have to leave??
