Taking a food & Nutrition class & just recently learned that....no wonder I can lose weight but then bam there it is back + a few extra lbs!

Oh sorry also I know Dr Cirangle comes to Stockton for seminars but do you know by chance what hospitals he uses if its more than one in CA? I went to a seminar YEARS ago & don't remember! Also did you finance this? Looking for good financing. My husband would love if I stayed in the states vs Mexico which I would too personally but of course the price for self pay is a huge difference! I could pay for Mexico but states would need some financing. Sorry for the 20 questions! Ok last one (how quick are you scheduled) I start school late August & would love to do it before then. Thanks again for your responses!

When did you have your surgery!? Since you were self pay did you have to do all the things that insurance payers had to do that Mexico doesn't require!? Like psych eval, so many months on a diet, etc!?

A current muffin top picture!? LoL all my pictures are of my face (love iphones front camera) I will take one of my muffin top & post it tomorrow lol it's late now! I too wear the spanx type under garments....but it's slowly getting bigger :0( my problem was plus size jeans it was assumed if you had a big stomach you had big thighs & legs so the jeans never fit right, they would fit in the legs & thighs but be a few sizes too small in the stomach!! Got to the point where I just used rubber bands to keep them closed instead of going up a size & sagging (sigh)

Ahhhaa this is what I meant, cutting the hotel stay short not the hospital! My bad, so is this based on how you feel or do you just tell them you don't want to stay 2 days!?

Sorry sent too soon! Anyways I read somewhere that he also charges $5,000 for a 5yr post op care!? Is that true!? What if you don't live near by but would still want to use him!? Why doesn't he do a leak test!?

I also heard he requires a 5 yr post op care

What did he charge if you don't mind me asking? You can PM if you'd not like to share on the post! If not I understand! Thanks for the insight!

Haha I didn't mean just pictures of actual muffin tops, I meant in fitted clothes! LoL basically a before & after pic....I know there are posts specifically before & after but it's a lot of weeding to find the pics!

I am not sleeved yet but also have PCOS & insulin resistant, and my husband & I tried for 5 years & finally went to a fertility doctor to check us & was told it was a combo of my weight & his slow swimmers (they always want to check the man first since its the cheapest so make sure he's tested may not be just you) so then we were told that we would not have kids without medical intervention so we had treatments done & sadly didn't work & had exhausted all of our finances, so I gave up the thought of having my own & we started the foster/adopt process & low & behold a few months in of not trying or worrying about ovulation the works it had happened naturally....I honestly think stress plays a HUGE factor! I was pregnant at 255lbs (yuck) but pregnant none the less! So after you're sleeved you may feel less pressure & stress! Good luck to you!

Oh come on!!!!

That is what I thought! I still want to get a passport for traveling purposes not just for this but if I didn't expedite it & even then it may not be here for August 12th & I don't want to push it back to December since that's when I will have a break from school!

Ya looked it up right after I posted! Won't be here in time for me!

Are passports needed!? Last time I was out of the country a birth certificate & valid ID worked, that was to go to Canada though!

If my finances come through looking at Dr Kelly August 12th, @ MiHospital & hotel Lucerna!

Any of you who are scheduled August 12th going to be in Mexico!?

Ok so I'm not sleeved yet, but I wanted to get an idea of how this muffin top is going to look afterwards lol would you post pics of your PRE muffin top.....and yourself now? Stats on me because yes I know everyone is different yadi yah, but I'm 5'6" 252, apple shape with a stupid muffin top as of the past few years from trying to NOT to go up a pant size! :0( Pictures greatly appreciated.....who doesn't love sharing their success pics over & over!? I would be like BAM....thats me!! lol so look out when the time comes! THANKS!!!

Ya Android was further out on what it could do on some apps! I had a pregnancy app that on my droid I couldn't see pictures or change settings finally they updated the app after I had my son to match how the iPhone users saw it the whole time! Pretty annoying!

Oh also deleting threads....because then I can Delete this when I figure it out too! LoL thanks!

Sorry this is off topic & I'm semi new to the site & am usually quick with figuring things out but still haven't figured out how to delete comments from my iPhone!? I accidentally commented a . on a post & didn't mean to, would be helpful to know!

Update....Southwest is in fact cheaper on Tuesdays. I looked into booking airfare last Thursday because I need my itinerary for surgery date confirmation & looked from Sacramento to San Diego & it was $165 one way & decided to wait to check today & tada it's only $98 each way, would think since its only an hour and half flight it would be cheaper!

Is 2 nights in the hospital mandatory!? I know here in the states the procedure is sometimes done as a same day outpatient procedure! Just trying to figure things out thanks!

Paul, you look awesome! I had to look really hard at your pic because you look so different! I would have called bs if someone said that was you with out a good long look! Amazing JoB!
