Thank you for letting us be part off your journey. I look forward to reading your updated about your surgery/hospital/hotel/experience etc. :-)

Alma is great

I was going to be staying at the Marriott unfortunately I got pneumonia and my pcp told me I have to wait to have surgery.

I'm super bummed but I'm hoping to get surgery as soon as I can after getting cleared from my Dr.

I hope everything goes well for you! Keep me updated! :-)

I'm getting sleeved 1/23 as well! Yay US! Cabrera is doing mine with Mexico Bariatric Center! Are you staying at the Marriott?

I getting there the day after you leave. I'm getting sleeved by Dr Garcia on Jan 23rd. Hopefully you can find someone else going around this time. :-)

I've always done a nice bottle of wine and like a basket gift (with cheeses/crackers/peanut brittle etc). We have a really lovely store that does reasonable gift baskets for $30-$75. I'm in northern California.

I'm not sure if they are wine drinkers but it's always a nice thing for the holidays.

Best of luck and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! :-)

I haven't heard of that happening.

I thought your stomach starts to heal over your staples so I don't think there's the possibility of it causing a leal after your stomach heals.

I'd ask your surgeon and see what he thinks

Best of luck :-)

Congrats!!

I don't use thenuva ring but I had a friend get prego right after taking her Nuva ring out. Hopefully it happens quickly for you too

Good luck :-)

I had to reschedule my VSG for January 22nd so I have 82 days til VSG! I'm so ready for it to be here. It can't come fast enough

Hope all went well. Keep us updated! :-)

Definitely don't recommend the depo shot! It's horrible...or at least it was for me.

My dr has me on Nora-BE, it's a non-estrogen birth control pill and my PCP said that it's best for women who are overweight.

I'd talk with your surgeon and PCP and see what they think.

Best of luck!

I think you look right around my age so I'm going to say 23-26?

I LOVE YOUR BLOG!

I just saw your post yesterday and I read it all since then. Amazing! I'm so glad you're doing well. And you are an inspiration.

I'm so jealous of all your travels, I told my husband after I get my sleeve done(Nov. 14th) that we should travel for the year. LOL. It won't happen(he's finishing up school) but a girl can dream.

I'm sorry. I don't think it will be too late, You're beautiful and there's a reason he married you, he loves you. He's probably just being a dude.

Don't give up hope. When are you having surgery?

I am looking forward to the day my husband decides to look at me instead of the Internet I fear it will be too late thought

I feel the same way about the airplane....I'm so worried about going down there at 350, I haven't been on a plane in almost 3 years.

I'm looking forward to living- being active, traveling without worrying about the airplane seat or a seatbelt extender, going places hoping I don't have to cram myself into the seat, doing activities and not having my weight be a factor in whether I can do it or not. LIVING!!! So excited.

Thank you! That's one of the top things that I've read to bring.

I'm wondering if I should get anything else? My husband is trying to pack everything in our house....just incase. He's a goober.

Gas X strips.

I'm so excited we finally heard back from my Husbands work and he got the time off for my surgery! We leave November 13th and I'll be sleeved November 14th with Dr. Garcia in TJ.

So now it's on....my husband is a huge planner....he has been trying to find a good packing list.

What were some things you're glad that you took to Mexico with you? Or what do you wish you would have packed?

Thanks everyone!

I haven't tried many yet, surgery is in November, but on that I did and really liked was Isopure. The grape flavor is pretty good. You can get them at GNC.< /p>

Good luck!

Hey y'all so I've been thinking about what m goal weight should be....I'm 5'4.5" 26 years old and right now I'm 350lbs.

I'm thinking I'd love to be 175...maybe less if I get there.

How did you all decide what your goal weight would be?

I'm getting sleeved on the 14th with dr garcia and coming home the 18th. I also have a count down! Lol 65 Days! So excited!

Just sent my deposit for November 18th 2013 very excited my doctor is Fernando Garcia in Tijuana Mexico. I cannot wait' date=' I even have a countdown on my phone 69 days left![/quote']

My surgery is scheduled for November 14th with Dr Garcia!

I'm so excited!!

Im not sure how not having your birth certificate will go. can you get a passport card? They are $55 if you've never had a passport and $30 if you have. Someone posted that it took them 10 days to get when they expedited it.

Best of luck

I haven't told any friends or family of my scheduled VSG on Nov 14th in Mexico. The only person that knows is my husband.

How did your friends and family react to Surgery in Mexico?

I feel the same way! November 14th needs to be here tomorrow! Lol. What's your date?

My hubby can pick me up too, but I always feel like I'm going to crush him. I'd love for him to pick me up and me not worry about breaking him. LOL

luckily my hubby is strong but yes I'd love for him to just pick me up and ............. cute panties and bras......being sexy again. Yes the list does go on and on! We can do this!!!!!!!!!
