Applied for passport .... check

Turned in FMLA papers .... check

Surgery date with Dr. Aceves .... check!! August 21!!

I am soooo ready for this new chapter in my life to start. I can't hardley believe in a little over a month it's going to happen! I have looked into WLS several times over the last few years but never had the means to really get serious about it. My insurance won't even think about paying for it which sucks for them...lol I haven't told many people, not because i don't want anyone to know, i don't want any negativity before i go. Once i get back i don't care who knows. Most of the people on my shift at work knows, but there is a few busy bodies that i havne't told yet, only b/c i don't want my business spread allover the place:001_rolleyes:

So anyway i just wanted to chime in and see if anyone else might be going to Dr. Aceves on or around August 21? My birthday is August 8, and we are considering this a major birthday present!! My children are very excited for me and they are the 2nd most important reason i'm so determined to get it done this time.

I love reading all your post and going through all the before and after pictures, it's so motivating!!!:thumbup:

Randa:biggrin0:

Congrats Randa ! ! ! You'll love the sleeve, and keep us posted on your progress.

Congratulations! I'm one week away from my sleeve, and also go to Mexico to have it done. I didn't tell hardly anyone at work, because everyone there has such strong opinions, and I seriously don't want to hear them. I, like you, don't care if they know when I come back though.

Good for you! You will love your sleeve:)

Congratulations! I'm not to far behind you, I'm scheduled for August 24th. I'm having my surgery done by Dr. Williams at Vanderbelt Weight Loss Clinic in Nashville, TN. We will have to keep in touch, as we will be going through things at the same time. It is hard for me to get to excited because I'm so afraid my surgeon is going to post pone my surgery for some reason. So until I go my Pre-op I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch. lol

Woo Hoo, getting the date scheduled is very exciting. Gratz. best of luck and keep us posted.

Congratulations!! It will be here before you know it. Make sure you watch my blog because I will be recording as much as possible while I'm there. I'm the same about telling people. Once I have it done I won't care about who knows but for now I'm keeping it to myself. I've only told 4 of my close friends. And of those 4, only 1 knows I'm going to Mexico.
