I live over by the Covington Library and KW HS. I love it here, such a small town feel, but with a Costco! Ha ha! All I need is a Trader Joe's and it would be heaven! Do you still visit often? -

Hi! FW/Auburn is where I grew up! I lived near Lake Dolloff, on the west hill of Auburn. FW has changed so much since we moved there in the 70's!!!! -

Is anyone else going to TJ on April 8th?
MrsPiggleWiggle replied to gettinsleeved's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I'll be there! I'm going alone as well. My surgery is w/ Dr. Ariel Ortiz w/ OCC. I arrive in San Diego on the 6th and they are picking me up on the 8th and taking me directly to the hospital. I'll be at the Marriot until the 11th. Should be easy to find me...I'll be knitting! -

Peoples reactions to weight loss surgery
MrsPiggleWiggle replied to michelle4873's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I told everyone at work, since they see me all the time and I figured they would notice for sure, lol! I've only had one bad reaction, and everyone just ignored the person who said it, as did I. She overheard me telliing someone about it, and started talking about eating more veggies and fruits. We all basically stared at her and then said "well, anyway..." and then forgot about it. In my head, I just think those kinds of negative people are that way because they have a nasty case of crabs that make them crazy, or something like that. Not the most mature reaction, I know, but that way I just let it roll off my back and go on with my own life! I just go "Dang, crabs must be itchin' you something fierce today!" -

Pain Under My Ribs on Left Side
MrsPiggleWiggle replied to Penpen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same pain after my hysterectomy last year - it was from the pain medication! Once I got off that, the pain was gone. It was agonizing in the meantime...I kept taking pain meds for that pain, not the pain from the surgery, and it just made the pain worse...and the cycle kept repeating! I hope you find relief soon! -

MY experience
MrsPiggleWiggle replied to fletcherette's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I am grateful you shared your experience with us, thank you!!! I'm so sorry that you were not treated well in the hospital, but congratulations on making it through and beginning your new life! Kat, what a terrible experience! I'm sorry! Thank you for sharing - it's true that a good experience, and a bad experience, can happen anywhere. -
I was hoping to have Dr. Houseworth do my surgery! My insurance would not cover me because I have not been at a BMI of 40 or more for the last five years...I was 39.something. So close, yet so far! Glad to hear it went well! I remember their support group in FW was in the am, and in Lakewood in the pm. If there are others, I would love to know about it! I'd love a local support group!
