I'll be there on the 19 th for my surgery! It's been a long time since I have looked forward tO anything in September. It's always been a bad month for me. But not now! I'm excited!!!

Awesome!! Thank you!

I'm sorry to hear you aren't getting the support you need with this. But I'm glad you wrote back. Because we can keep in touch and I'll be going in first so I can give you all the details!! I hope my passport comes in time!! But Louise said to bring my certified birth certificate and drivers license if not. People can get in with that for the most part. I wOuld look in to the motel 8 and some of those to see if you can find a place! If I come across anything I'll let you know. Do you have a Facebook? If so please ad me Shellybellyrelly@yahoo.com

Yea I was thinking the same thing about the hotel. We are not sure yet where to stay but I'll probably be booking soon as well. Just got my passport app in today. So many things add up$$$!!! Who is coming with you? My mom is going with me. I wish we had the extra money to spend some time in Cali. But sadly we can't.

Kool!! Maybe we will be in the recovery house together!! Where you from Lori? I'm from Louisiana.

Yay!! Can't wait to hear how you did!! Best of luck!!!

Anyone seeing Dr Almanza September 18 through 23?? My surgery date is the 19 th!! I would like to be in touch with someone else going around the same time. I think the support will be not only good for me but for my mom who is coming with me. She has been so amazing and supportive even though I know she is scared!

I was denied health insurance because of my weight and the only insurance I could find was far too high for me to pay. ($630 / mth) I am otherwise healthy. I will be traveling to Jerusalem hospital next month for the gastric sleeve. After I loose the weight I would like to find some medical insurance but I don't know if I should mention it or not. I'm thinking they will not let me get insurance if I tell them. Also I'm sure if they do they will exclude anything related to it. Anyone have any insight into this?
