I finally got the guts to schedule the consult!

September 1st is my first consult, in Houston with Dr. Marvin. ((Squeal!!))

I am cash pay, so I pushed it that far back to allow me to save money, and make some extra money to put down for downpayment.

I am soo excited, but still dealing with very skeptical husband about spending so much...and he will not budge on letting me to go Mexico, I'm not going to fight it. Just going to save as much $ as possible to have minimal impact on our finances.

Still haven't told my family...thats a milestone for another day :)

Congratulations!!! :) How exciting. It just puts you in a totally different frame of mind, huh? I have my consult scheduled for May 10 and even just scheduling it makes me feel like a different person!

Wow, go you, your determination is inspiring. I really hope you make this a reality. You can do it!

Congrats on starting down the road to a healthier you! I am very excited for you!

Awesome Sophie, as they say the longest journey begins with a single step. :)

Sophie--where does Dr. Marvin work from? I'm scheduled for my sleeve on Monday at Memorial Hermann in the Medical Center with Dr. Todd Wilson. I'm scared and excited at the same time!!
