  1. Oct 4th. Dr. Alvarez Mexico
  2. Hello everyone. Well the surgery date is set, plane tickets purchased, pass port has arrived, the hotel is booked and last but not least I am beginning to have some severe anxiety. I want so much for this to work. As a self payer this is costing a lot, but most of all I am still scared to death of something going wrong. Or that my weight loss won't be as successful as some of you. Please don't get me wrong I am so grateful to be able to do this, but so many things have gone wrong in my life that its hard to think positive. For once I am really doing something for me and I just pray to God it's of his approval and that he won't let anything go wrong.

  13. Hi Rebecca I got my date 10 4 13
  14. I am worried that kaiser would no longer serve me if I had complications from sleeve from a self pay. I am not doubting having surgery I have heard that kaiser could deny treating u if u had surgery sone where else. I am just scared thinking what if I come home after surgery and have complications and need medical assistance ASAP would kaiser stick me with a big bill or reject me. I was already denied surgery from kaiser cause all labs are borderline bad and my bmi is only 37 so they won't do surgery.
  15. I was wondering if anyone knows how to tell your primary dr? I have kaiser and they denied my surgery so I am paying for it myself. I have not told dr. Cause I am afraid they could cancel me. I think I should tell dr. Now and see if she will run tests for me but scared too. Any advise?
  16. You look beautiful. I know we don't know each other but I just read your post and wanted to say u look beautiful. Great job regardless if u lose another 20. U have inspired me. I can't wait to be in your shoes. : )
  17. Very very happy for u!! May u continue a speedy recovery.
  18. I want to thank u all for supporting me and reminding me that we all have a support system when it comes to this website. Thank u all again and I am going to have the surgery with it with out family. : )
