  1. Hope I'm not being too nosy but why did they have to do an open surgery? We're you a revision from Lapland?
  2. Interested to see about this as well.
  3. It didn't load right. . It's isopure protein packets.
  4. I just bought these for after. http://www.lpsupplements.com/media/01/a20791913003fd3a4ade66_m.JPG. Hope it comes up where you can look. It has 50g of whey protein isolates, no sugar. Read about it. I know I'm jumping the gun, but I had the money now. May not have it when I need it. If I don't like it I'll choke it down! Lol.
  5. Good luck! I don't have a lot of positive support either. It's scary for people who love us to support us going somewhere with such a bad reputation. Not to mention the people who don't have a clue how we, the larger population are treated or how we feel healthwise. My husband is against me 'butchering' my body, so it's hard for me to verbalize my own concerns with him. But I'm going too! Stay safe, and prayers.
  6. I'm not going until August...
  7. Got date set with Dr. Kelly in Mexico. August 23rd!!!!
  8. OMG!!! Got my date...august 23rd with Dr. Kelly!!
  9. I have the same problem pretty much. I will be taking money out of my 401k as a 'financial hardship' for 'medical reasons' in order to get the surgery. If you take it out for financial hardship, you don't have to pay it back. I don't HAVE the money yet, but the worx to get it has started. I N hoping to go to Dr. Kelly in August! It can't come soon enough for me!!!
  10. I've HAD my passport since 2006. That was an act of congress to obtain. I dont live where I was born and didn't have a certified birth certificate. barely got the passport by the time I needed it!
  11. I don't even have anything scheduled yet and am super excited! Guess I'm crazy! Lol! I have my FAA approved liquids and makeup packed. My passport with my stuff. 3 loose maxi dresses. I cute maxi dress to wear on the way there. And just ordered a carrying luggage 2pc set from target website. Yeah...I'm excited!!!
  12. I just got some domino brand organic agave nectar? I put it in my tea. I haven't had vsg yet though.
  13. I live right out of New Orleans on the Westbank. My insurance doesn't approve any wls so I will be going to Mexico in a few months. Comfortable with my decision and super excited! Can't wait!
  14. I have my pcp to start. He will help me find the next one.
  15. Glad you didn't sugarcoat it JeanieG! Lol! I am becoming more and more confident of my decision! Thanks you guys! I love this app!!
  16. Plan b worked! Now onto finalizing everything! Thanks so much for the prayers and kind words all of you! I love this app
  17. Thanks!! Just please let me know how things turn out for you. My sister is an rn and her only comment was drain vs no drain and for me to ask why he doesn't use one. I will be going alone and looking forward to the me quiet time! Lol. Looking like August. Again keep me posted!
  18. Can't wait to hear how y'all are doing! Mines looking like end of August because of work!
  19. Seriously thinking about Dr Kelly. You choose the doctor not the coordinator. Those of you who had Kelly, tell me what you think HONESTLY!
  20. It's a very small office. Only 11 of us including the 2 doctors! We don't even have an office manager!! I guess I could have lied about where, but that's not me. Besides, I'm not ashamed of where. If anything, beaurocracy (sp?) of our own great country's health system has led to people going outside the US. It's as though insurance was started or is still ran by the mafia!
  21. Woohoo!!! He said yes!!!!
  22. The contact person who administers our 401k checked into it for me and it's not marked where you can obtain it for financial hardship (medical included in that). The addition of that has to be amended. Or he said the only other way to get it is to quit and I love where I work and who I work with, do I don't really want to do that unless I HAVE to!
