I am SO excited!!!

I just scheduled my sleeve in Mexico with Dr Aceves!

!

!

And I also bought my plane ticket!

I'm flying out the 29th, scheduled for the 29th, I have *never* done anything this radical before in my whole life.

About spending the money, here was my reasoning:

I have probably spent a hundred thousand dollars already on failed diets, new clothes, spanx, miracle suits, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, lowcarb supplements, miracle cures and pills such as carulluma, that white bean extract thing that's supposed to block carbs, alternative health practitioners, exercise programs I buy and don't use, depression medication, acupunture, hypnosis, and that does not even include the health problems I don't have yet but will that will need medication and attention such as diabetes and heart disease, an enlarged heart and whatever else goes wrong with fat people.

Not to mention, I had a problem buying the flight today. I am so self-conscious about traveling and I don't want to be. I want to fit on airplane seats so I can travel, fit into normal sized pants so I can walk into any store -- I want to be free. My limitations are costing me so much more than the 8750 this thing is costing it's a no brainer.

About going to mexico --

I'm self pay and its much much cheaper. I already contacted the bariatric center in my town and they say they will do aftercare. I have not read a single bad thing about Dr Aceves since doing all my research and I finally thought --, well, I have a passport....and so I got a first class airline ticket for the extra room and comfort since I was saving 12,000 dollars on the surgery bill I was quoted in my home state.

I'm going alone. Im not telling anyone except a sibling. I am so embarassed I let myself get to this point. But now I see a way out! Yay!

Congrats!! You are doing something for yourself and it will pay off ten-fold! Enjoy your 1st class seat - that sounds so nice!! Keep us apdated!!

Congrats! I flew 1st class into San Diego and it was the best decision ever I was able to get a last minute upgrade that was cheap and I jumped on it. You will definitly want the 1st class seat heading home as I didnt and was slightly uncomfortable trying to make myself smaller in the space so I was not crowding the person next to me. The A team will take great care of you! This journey has been the best decision I have made in a long time! Keep us posted on your journey.
