    I am wondering about Passports, payments, health evaluations pre op, Who do you see after your back in the States? And how do you even go about setting up an appointment or even get accepted for the surgery? Im very curious.

    Spanish to English Translation Sheet

    HeatherSchwartz replied to cindysc's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    I guess I got really lucky then because my husband speaks Spanish well although he is better at reading it. We've been practicing a little.

    I'm so excited about getting it. NOT looking forward to the liquid diet before or quitting smoking but I know it will be worth it.

    I had a DVT years and am supposed to be on coumadin but havent taken it in at least a couple years. The PTO was never right and I couldnt afford to go see dr. every single week. Im told this makes me high risk. I know blood clots are serious business. Anyone else out there that has had the surgery and previously diagnosed with blood clots?

    I haven't been sleeved yet either. Mine is in May. I've had some of the questions you have. I know I found a lady on here . her name Is Hoosier Girl(there's about 3 so she's the blonde one) she has a lot of info on her page. I learned a lot.plus she's an inspiration. Reading all her blogs helped me make up my mind.

    DUM-DUMS

    HeatherSchwartz posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I was wondering it before and after surgery if things like sugar free lollipops were permitted. I ask because I know being NPO the night before and most of the day or all of it I'm gonna be dying of thirst. I get mean and ferocious. Lol

    Another Protein Drink ?

    HeatherSchwartz replied to Lisa00's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I found a chocolate peanut butter cup flavor and even tho I don't have to drink them just yet I LOVE this flavor. I dislike the fruit flavored ones. They taste like dishwashing soap to me. The EAS Carb control is good also.

    Why VSG

    HeatherSchwartz replied to jdillon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    To have people open doors for me. To laugh again. To wear the clothes I've bought over the years that I knew wouldn't fit but thought were cute. To not ask my fiance if he has clothes I can wear. To have the desire for sex again and not have heartburn while doing it( if tmi I'm sorry). To have the energy to play with my grand babies...

    Ever worry about being too thin?

    HeatherSchwartz replied to Kiara5244's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am also 5'8 . I weigh 223. As far as weight goes, between 140 and 150 is very nice. You keep some curves and I'd you weight train a bit your muscles will show a lot of definition and those curves are really sexy as well as help give you a little 'lift' I wish you the best of luck and when is your surgery? Mine is May 26th.

Pus knida be like a mini vacation/birthday present. My husbands is the 28th . Mine is the 29th (he's a day older than me but tells me he's my elder so I have to mind.lol) Um we both know who's the boss. I am so looking forward t this. I feel like I'm getting a second chance at life.

  19. HeatherSchwartz
    I made the deal with my fiance that to have this surgery I would stop smoking. I want to schedule at end of May. I haven't quit yet but I know that I want to exercise later on and I won't be able to if I can't breathe. Good luck to you
  20. HeatherSchwartz
    @@LuckyT Thank you so much. I was worried because no one seemed to be responding to this post..You really made my day. I immediately showed my fiance, just to ease his nerves a bit too.

      curiouslyhopeful, try not to let other's opinion sway your's. you are doing this for your health not vanity, they apparently don't have any manners if they are saying things like that to you. and remember your body is your temple you are doing what you need to do to get it back to a good place to be in. as shrinkingmom said they sound a bit jealous to me. be brave and stick to your guns!!! proud of you!!!

    Planning to have the sleeve sometime in late May. Havent actually scheduled yet as Im not sure just how long a passport will take to get here. I know some say they didnt need it but I say better safe than sorry right? Im pretty excited. Picked Dr Ortiz as my doc. Ive heard such good things about him and I have researched him as well as others..I feel safest with him. Cant wait for the new improved me!! No more looking down or away when people look at me because Im ashamed of fat I am. No more shopping at Goodwill because the clothes in dept stores cost more for larger sizes..Im ready to LOVE myself!!!
  24. HeatherSchwartz

    Any May sleevers?

    HeatherSchwartz replied to Nessa39's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    I am planning on around that time also with Dr Ortiz. I am nervous about scheduling due to the fact that I dont have a passport and dont know how long it will take to come in.
