  1. Ok, so I am lurking around and try not to be a bug-a-boo about everything but I have another question. I work for the post office as a mail carrier, a very strenuous job. As I did before, I am planning to use Family medical leave. Has anyone had any experience with getting these forms filled out by your doctor? I want him to be thorough in filling them out but not really disclose what type of surgery I am having....
  2. I am sorry that your PCP is not supportive of your decision. I hope that if you choose to find another one, you have better luck. When I went to Mexico to get my tubal reversal in 2006 I waiting until after I got back to tell my primary and ob/gyn and they didnt seem to bothered about it. But that was 6 years ago and I have a new primary (through Kaiser) and I fear the same result as you. Good luck and just know that you are making the right decision for you!!! Kisha
  3. Lol now that is hilarious..... But so true!!!
  4. Me not thinking about my upcoming surgery and how far it's away
  5. I will be arriving on the 21st as well but having surgery on the 22nd with dr Garcia. Who is ur surgeon ?
  6. I'm going to try not to think about it lol hmmmm not sure how that is going go...
  7. I scheduled my surgery tonight!!!! I am scheduled for May 22nd with Dr. Garcia. It seems like light years away. I do hope that the time goes by fast!!!
  8. thank you all for the welcome!!! Heading over to youtube now!!!
  9. Hello everyone!!! I have been lurking for a bit and just trying to read up and absorb all the information that is here!!! I am happy to announce that tonight I will go home and pay my deposit with Dr. Garcia! I talked to alma today and she said that the two dates that I am considering are open.... So I will be going to Mexico the week before memorial day. I am a little nervous but it's not too bad since I have had another surgery in Mexico and feel confident that this experience will be just as wonderful as my first experience!!!! Sorry i am so ruse. My name is Kisha and i am a mother of 7 and have been denied two times by my insurance. They say that even though my BMI Is 39 and I have degenerative bone issues I still don't qualify. I was devastated and I think in that process I gained five pounds. But I remembered the last time that my insurance denied me and decided that it's was time to take matters into my own hands ago!!! So here I am.... I wish there was a 'what to expect...' thread because I have a ton of questions. But I will keep going through all of the threads. It's my time now!!! And once I set the official date tonight I will be in countdown mode!!!! I just wanna scream!!! Kisha
