Surgery Date Is Set for Halloween

Oct 28, 2013

I made my appointment today to have surgery with Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela.  I'm having it on Halloween.  When I called this morning, I was expecting something around the third week of November, but I asked for the quickest date I could get in, and I was told they had a cancelation for Halloween Day. 

When I called the Mexico Bariatric Center this morning I talked to Cindy.  She was really great.  She told me that Dr. Valenzuela did her surgery and her daughter's surgery on the same day.  She said she would do it the same all over again.  She set everything up for me in such a short time.  She called Dr. Valenzuela to make sure she looked at my medical information form, and then let me know when she got the green light from the doctor.

I am so excited!!  Thank goodness, my husband is on board.  He's been so great.  He asked me a couple times if I was confident about doing this and said he was behind me whatever I wanted to do.  Of course I'm a little cranky right now because I've been on a liquids-only diet today, and wasn't mentally prepared for it.  It's good though.  I'll adjust quickly, and I will never regret not having a "last meal".  I am going to be a normal size again!

Wish me luck!
