  4. My doc didn't say anything about vitamins. What are u taking?
  5. How exciting!!! I'm going to Mexico because my insurance doesn't cover the procedure. I scheduled it back in July and have had a lot of time to think about it and it really feels like the right thing for me
  6. My name is Johna and I'm 30. I've gained and lost weight my whole life. In the last year I've gained nearly 65 pounds and can't seem to get it off. I'm at 319 and that 300 number kind of freaks me out. I never thought this would happen. I'm 5'9 but the weight is really starting to hurt me. My husband is so very supportive and I'm so blessed. He is gong with me as well. We both have trouble with Spanish but it will be a good experience. When do u arrive in TJ
  7. I am having it there, yes!!! Would love to share stories!
  8. November 2nd with Elias Ortiz. Looking for a buddy
  9. How exciting. I leave Mexico on the 6th
  10. Just looking for someone to share the journey with
  11. Dr Elias Ortiz November 2nd. Anyone else around that date?
  12. Hi Everyone so nice there's lots of us together going through this! My surgeon said I don't need to maintain or lose weight but he puts me on a liquid diet for 2 weeks b4 surgery! I'm so tired of being heavy I'm 248 now .. Have my 4 th pcp visit tomorrow then 2 more left.. I scheded all other stuff like the psych eval already too lol just want a date and afrAid if too close to Christmas I don't wanna ruin the holidays if there's a complication and I'm terrified of leaks and stuff but who isnt lol I'm on and off this a lot because I am busy working full time and have an 18 month baby and other kids but I love you all and let's stick together! I'm 320 and 5'9. I'm also tired of fighting the weight battle. I've been denied twice by my insurance so Mexico it is. From what I've seen though there are a lot of hoops to jump through with insurance so I'm kinda glad I'm skipping that with Mexico. Still nervous though as I kind of just show up and the tests determine if I'm ready or not.
  13. November 2nd Surgery date in Mexico. I'm nervous about the long wait and all the time I have to think about it. Everyday seems like a different emotion. I have support from my husband but am terrified to tell anyone. Having anyone's support here would be so wonderful.
