  1. I just tried turning data off and back on again... still says connecting to remote site... ugh
  2. Let me know if that works... I've tried re booting my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, nothing works
  3. I'm having the same issue on my phone.... maybe its verizon....
  4. Glad you're doing good and coming home soon. It's nice to hear good stories this close to my procedure.... takes the anxiety out of it. I know I'll be in good hands with Dr. Alvarez.
  5. I'm glad you're home and doing well.... I'm going to have mine with Dr. A in october.
  6. Congratulations Amy on a wonderful weight loss! Stories like this lets me know that I have made the right choice. October 5th can't get here soon enough! I know the feeling of being out of breath just trying to shave my legs.... can't wait for the day when I can do normal things without breaking a sweat.... keep up the good work and save me a seat on the losers bench
  7. That is great! I have to do a one week preop diet as well.... good luck on your upcoming surgery... I'm sure you'll do great
  8. I definitely think you should go ahead with your surgery. It's time that you start not only taking care of yourself but most importantly thinking of yourself. This is the most beneficial gift you will ever give yourself and in a way a gift to your family. As for support, you couldn't ask for a better support system than the one you would get on this forum .... good luck in whatever you choose. You're in my prayers
  9. Thanks and good luck to you as well..... I'm not going to Barix now due to being self pay, I'm doing mine with Dr. Alvarez in mexico.
  10. Things are rolling right along.... got my admission papers yesterday from Dr. Alvarez woot woot! ! I'm the second surgery of the day... I'm so excited, can't wait! October 5th can't get here soon enough

  13. Hey... Going tomorrow to apply for passport and was wondering if the passport card will work?
  14. I'm seeing Dr. Alvarez . I live in Columbus for 8 yrs now. I'm originally from ky but lived most of my life in Tampa Fl
  15. Which center are you going to ?
  16. I'm coming from Ohio..... I'm alittle nervous about the flight home, who is your doctor?
  17. Hello Melinda and welcome! I totally understand going back and forth with which procedure to get. I was the same way... I chose to go with the sleeve because it doesn't have the malapsorptions that the RNY has. As for doctors I chose to go with Dr. Alvarez ... Good luck on your journey
  18. From what I understand your pcp takes care of you stateside. I'm new at this too made my decision to go with Dr. Alvarez.
  19. I'll be in Mexico from 10/5 - 10/08
