    Just a rant- John Goodman-

    FYI...Jillian was never over weight. She is on a MTV show called when I was 17...All photos are thin. Atleast the photos start in high school. She had her black belt in high school, worked out at a gym and became a personal trainer in high school and has been one ever since.

    I feel you Rebecca. I'm on the 18th with Dr. Almanza. I can't sleep thinking about the unknown. Atleast your husband has your back. My husband changed his mind and doesnt want me to do it. He has been watching surgery horror stories. Best wishes to you. Lets know how it went.

    Its a hard decision to make. I have everything booked and paid for and I still haven't jumped the fence. I do think Tamboo would enjoy having a friend that is on the same journey. Well keep us posted.

    Lol....Would this be Tamboo's friend? The lucky B. If so welcome.

    It sounds like I need to buy some Bio oil. Do I get that at a health food store?

    It was $500.00. Melissa is my Pt coordinator. And I was told as long as they have room you can bring someone with you. Would you like Melissas number? I call her for everything. I wish you could go with me on the 17th. Im flying on AA and since we both live in Fl im sure both our connecting flights would be in Tx.

    Changes in friends

    christina@MIA replied to KathyM's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Kathy I'm sorry you are down. I have found myself trying not to talk about my up coming VSG with friends and family in the past few days for two reasons 1. I don't like their neg. comments and 2. I think they are sick of hearing me. I just want to let you know I enjoy reading your post. You lift my sprits up. I follow your post to see your progress because I am going to use the same Dr. you used. I hope everything works out with your friend. And I think you are doing great with your weight loss!

    Thanks Kayshay. Reading KathyMs post a few others that went to him make me feel better. I think alot of it is in my head. Its not just fear of the surgery but also fear of acid upset, hair loss, and loss of fav foods. I think the post are helpful but some of them scare the hell out of me. I havent told my husband about any of the side effects bc he will freak. This is tuff Im finding myself getting depressed over the whole thing. The surgery is always on my mind 24/7. Im going crazy I think!

    Hi Tamboo, When will you be having your VSG? I dont know how good of a mentor I will be seeing im having cold feet myself. But maybe when can comfort each other. If I make it there I will share all with you!
  13. christina@MIA
    Kaysay please do keep us informed on your progress and feelings about Dr Almanza. I'm right behind you on 8/18. I'm think im getting cold feet. I don't have much support here. Im being told by my mom im going to die. And other people say can I really live with feeling sick all the time. My husband was ok with it but now seems to be scared for me.

    Hi Tamboo, I am having my VSG done with Dr. Almanza 8/18. I will arrive 8/17 and leave 8/21. Melissa my Pt Coordinator said I could stay at the recovery house all days as long as there is space. If not I will only need a room the day I arrive. She said the room would cost 89.00 and it is next to the San Diego airport. She also said Dr. Almanza is the best for the VSG and Dr. Ponce Deleon is best for the band. You might want to PM KathyM she just returned from there a couple weeks ago. Best of luck to you.

    I am so silly I sent this to myself. Im not to good at this computer chat stuff.

     

    I live in Miami. I understand how you feel when I started reading about him I was so unsure. Then I started noticing that the bad stuff wasn't being said by people who went to him. When are you think of having your VSG done? FYI he will be on vac sept 5 - 13. Here is my number 561-714-9946

    read a string started by RADGEN. It gets a litte crazy but if you look past all the BS you see people who went to Dr Almanza in the past few weeks. Its like 9 pages long.

    Would insurance reimburse later?

    christina@MIA replied to tennessee1031's topic in Insurance & Financing

Im tried of the struggle and feeling older than I am. Please Help. Here is my email anthony31504@aol.com Thank you - Christina

    Complications after Sleeve Surgery

    christina@MIA replied to attitudefree's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Hi, Could you please tell me how you got tricare to approve you. I also have tricare and I currently weigh 215. I dont think they are going to approve it because im not 100lbs over weight and no secondary problems. Thats why ive been researching mexico because I figured I would be turned down with Tricare. Ps... Im happy everything is ok with you now.
