Following. I am headed to TJ on Nov. 21.

Day 2 preop and I am ready to eat my water bottle I am so hungry....

Following your post. My husband and I are getting sleeved on Nov. 21.

I wish! We will just miss you. We are arriving early on the 21st with surgery late that day.

I am getting so anxious. I can't wait for Nov. 21 to come and go. I feel like I am as prepared as I am ever going to be. I have purchased almost everything for my trip and the first couple of weeks home. I have told everyone that I am going to tell and dealt with the fall out from it. I am ready and no one's bad juju is stopping me now.

Praying for you and wishing you a fast easy recovery!

I have a question. My husband and I are self pay and are scheduled for surgery Nov. 21. As part of my nerves, I had a question come to mind. If we self pay and have issues, will our regular insurance cover us for blood clots, gall bladder, any other complications or will we be self paying for those and just the chance that we are taking?

I hope you are recovering well. I am in Baton rouge but having it in Mexico Nov. 21. I plan on attending the support group once a month at woman's hospital upon my return.

My goal is to be fit not skinny. My goal is to not be defined by my size when shopping for clothes, I don't want to be "plus size". I want regular calf boots instead of not even extended calf boots. I want to be able to get pregnant. I want my family and friends and even myself see a version of me that is hidden under this weight. I want to workout or hell finish my day without getting tired or aching. I want to be able to buy bras and clothes at Walmart or Target or Victoria Secret any other store I want instead of doing my shopping online because stores don't carry bras or jeans in my size. My goal is it use this tool to help me get to better version of me, but still be me.

I am going to see Dr. E Ortiz on Nov. 21. Good luck on your journey.

Most definitely.

Surgery on the 21st and leaving on the 25th. I'm so ready!

Yes. Leaving out on Nov. 25.

I am November 21st in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz. Good luck to everyone who is starting their preop diets.

My surgery date is November 21st with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. I sure wish I was having it done close to home but have to love Coventry Louisiana denials.
