  1. I'm also being sleeved on the 28th! I'm super excited.... Like Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah Winfrey's sofa excited! I can't wait to get this done and start my new journey.
  2. Yay!!!!! Sooo happy for you! Can't imagine the relief you feel! I hope you're up and running in no time!
  3. I think there should be a bigger focus on hydration therapy for the first few months, proactively instead of after people have issues... Like a weekly visit to the office?
  4. Oops....what I meant was, I used mine. The balance from last year as it has to be used by March and all of this years... It's how I paid for my procedure. Try ready for a change...I've heard nothing but good things about Dr. Garcia and his crew. (I'm going on the 28th) I may have to wrestle with the FSA company later but the deed will already be done and paid for so (at the risk of sounding irresponsible) I won't care.
  5. I used mine from last year and this year to pay or
  6. You are going to do great!!!!!! Congrats!
  7. I have found Southwest to be the cheapest.
  8. If you are driving over (or being driven) she can go to the DMV (Secretary of State) and apply for a passport card also called an enhanced drivers license. (Common for border residents that commute across for work) She will need her current drivers license and Birth Certificate... It will cost around 55.00 (may vary by state, call first) they will staple a temporary card to her current license (just like when you renew it) and that along with her Birth Certificate should be all that is needed. Hopefully you were issued a refund for the failed passport attempt. Sorry this is so long! Hope this helps.
  9. I can't wait to break off my long term relationship with Colonel Sanders. God I love that man!
  10. Woooo Hoooooo! That's exciting!!!! Good Luck!
  11. Everyone loves your posts! You are eloquent, inspiring, honest and diplomatic. Are you a writer in the real world?
  12. I feel like Im loosing my ever flippen mind!! My surgery is in 15 days... I am stalking the mess out of this forum! Will I have a leak? Will I get dehydrated? Will this really work for me? Will someone kidnap my fat ass in Mexico? Have I lost my mind? Will some other tragedy fall upon me before I get it done? Is this really going to happen? Will I go bald? What am I going to tell people? K. I'm done. Sorry just had to vent.:-)
  13. Congratulations! I hope you are recovering well.
  14. I am scheduled for Feb 28th... If you are looking for details, Icon23 has a wonderful, thorough account of her entire experience with him and his staff from about a month or two ago....
  15. Honey, I read your posts, you are NOT a selfish person and if you treat your husband with one tenth of the compassion and support and encouragement you display to the people on this forum, your marriage will be absolutely fine.
  16. You look amazing! I love that you're in a dressing room trying on new clothes for a new you! How exciting!!!!! So happy for you'
  17. it's usually anesthesia's call..., and that just depends on the doc and how they were trained. It would be worth a phone call to your coordinator before you get on the plane but it should probably be fine.
  18. You look awesome! I love post picture updates! Could look at them all day! So encouraging! Thanks for sharing your success with us hopefuls!
  19. You look great!!!!! And your hair!!! Love it!
  20. Are these vaporizers specially designed for this activity or can I dig out out the farm animal that streamed through it nostrils I used for my kids when they were little? Does it take the smell away? Geez! I need to do some research.
  21. Good grief Im getting old.... What is "vape it" mean? I'm glad someone asked this question. Haven't partook in a long time but damn do I miss it! Also been thinking if I'm going to have to give up wine.... I've been told by people that consider themselves experts that not all doobies give you the munchies. Will have to investigate further.
