Alright. I have never felt so much rage and hatred towards a mass of people. Now I'm in isolation' date=' my drain test came back with what they think is MRSA and my radiologist said something "looked funny" when she did my barium swallow this morning. I'm a ball of fury today. So far, my sleeve was not worth it. At all.[/quote']

I too am praying for you. Trust in God and everything will work itself out. You are stronger than this leak, infection, and anything else sent your way. You are a fighter and that fighting instinct has brought you this far. You listened to your body and thank God you were given some answers to why you weren't feeling good. Stay strong! We are here for you, we are praying for you, and when prayers go up blessings come down! God can move mountains and without a doubt he can heal and protect you. People like iggy have been where you are now any they are living testimonies that God heals and delivers. Keep the faith!

Praying without ceasing!

Well I need to do it in the beginning of February because flights after feb 13 are 200 more from ohio. If I go feb 7 it will only be 275.

Yeah I know:(. Mardi Gras and Spring break,

I'm looking at the 18th with dr. Garcia. I haven't paid my deposit yet though' date=' so it's not set in stone.[/quote']

Yeah, Feb just can't get here fast enough. According to my ticker I have 73 days and 10 hours til VSG!

Oh. Ok. Me too! Who did your surgery?

I'm preop and I'm going to Dr Fernando Garcia in Tj Mexico. My insurance doesn't cover WLS.

I have settled on February 8th but I am paying my deposit weds. She has me in the schedule for that day. How about you?

I am planning on Feb 21. I had chosen that date because I had a sleeve buddy, now I'm thinking about changing it. Maybe for the week after. My daughters birthday is on the 24. I will be going alone also.

Where?

Baton rouge

I am Monroe' date=' LA, but I had my surgery in Shreveport, LA. I hope things get better for you soon. We will all make it through this together.[/quote']

I'm from the boot also!

Thanks for the quick reply. I am in Baton Rouge' date=' La. Where are you?[/quote']

We are both from the boot!

Good for you! Looking great, keep up the good work!

Wow! I'm am so amazed! You look fantastic! I cam hardly wrap my mind around the possibilities. Seeing pictures such as yours gives me hope and inspiration. May I ask how tall you are? What was your starting weight? Every time I see pics I get excited, nervous, anxious, and a whole lot of other emotions.

Coolmama I am getting sleeved with Garcia February 2013 and I am going by myself. I'm really scared. How are you doing? Any suggestions for me on what to bring to the hospital and what not to bring since I'm traveling alone? Any info would be so helpful. Thanks! Hope your doing well!

When are you going in Feb? I'm going in Feb also.

Way to go! Congrats on your weight loss!

Great job! You look fab!

Wow! You look great girl!

I should add that I had surgery 10 days before my 40th birthday' date=' and I am 5'7.5" tall.

And thanks for your sweet comment, Kristi. I do a lot of Zumba, and I really think it is paying off.[/quote']

You look great! I have had four kids also (C-sections I might add) so the belly area is def a concern of mine. I too am worried about extremely sagging skin. In my mind I imagine my belly hanging to my knees, lol . Your pic gives me hope though! I'm 5'1 & 232#. Surgery date 02/21/2013.

Awesome job! You look like a totally different person!

You're looking great! Aah such inspiration for me! I'm so nervous about doing this but I can hardly wait!
