Nine more days.... I just finished up all of my FMLA paperwork. I've lost 9 lbs. since my highest recorded weight. This whole process has been an experience. Apparently, my decision has gained some momentum amongst my circle of friends. I told one of my family of heart/ "adopted" family/ close friends about my decision to have VSG surgery in MX. (My surgeon performed the surgery in a mutual acquaintance of ours, with great results) After a few days, she announced out of the blue that she wanted to go with me and have VSG! Of course, the more, the merrier. Then, just last week, her sister decided to join us! So now, the three of us are headed to Tijuana, to have our surgeries on April 29th. [emoji1] It's like a girl's trip...except nobody gets to eat all of that yummy Mexican food, or drink tequila.
