Surgery Scheduled Jan. 20th (Next Week) No Passport Yet



Recommended Posts

Need to know if anybody has any information or advice on this topic...

O.K., so my surgery is next week on the 20th with Dr. Ramos Kelly. I am so excited! However, even though I expidited and overnighted my passports they have not arrived yet and neither has my mother's. We still have 7 days for them to arrive. However, my coordinator Sandy Johnston, assures me I can still get back and forth with a birth certificate and driver's license. She says she had done it many times.

Hi! I work at an airline and you MUST have a passport to travel internationally . Yes a few years ago a valid ID and birth cert would work, but not anymore.

Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery! You're going to love your sleeve.

Yes, I knew you needed it for sure to fly internationally. That's not what I'm doing but thanks for the response. I'm not worrying anymore because my mother just got her passport today which means mine should come 2moro! Whoo hoo!!! I'm so excited.

Keeping my fingers crossed that your passport will arrive tomorrow or soon! Best wishes on your journey - I just returned on Monday from Dr Kelly! AMAZING - that is all I can say about the care and attention that I received. They provided the best service I have ever received from any Doctor!

Let me know if you have any questions about Dr Kelly - I would be more than happy to answer!

Sending prayers and best wishes to you for your upcoming journey!

I'm so glad you had a great experience with Dr. Kelly. That makes me feel good. Please let's keep in touch since we are bascially starting this journey at the same time. No, my passport didn't arrive. My coordinator has assured me her driver will ge met over with passport, birth certificate, and proof that I applied already. She says it happens all the time. I'm gonna try it because I've already spent too much in plane tickets, hotel reservations, etc. I'm going come hell or high Water. LOL Wish me luck.

Hi-

I'm going to Dr. Kelly on the 10th of Feb. I see you went through Sandy. Was that Obesity International? I think they are linked with Successfully Slimmer which is who I've been talking to. Do you mind me asking what your fee is?

Thanks!

Karen

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
