I remember reading that it wasn't a problem to travel back into the US if you have your driver's license, birth certificate and a receipt where you applied for your passport. Well, I applied for my passport today (my surgery is Sept 15th with Dr Aceves), but they didn't give me a receipt! He said I can go on line in a few days and print off that it's "processing". Is that the receipt that people are referring to? Someone please say yes, or I'm going to panic! ohmy.gif

You will probably have your actual passport back before Sept. 15th. Mine only took about 3 weeks.

Whew, I hope! Did you expedite it or just do it regular?

I just did it regular. My friend and I both did it on the same day and we got it back on the same day. It didn't take long at all.

Good luck!

Agreed. You will probably have it back by then. They always tell you it will take longer so you won't bug them on the phone or something.

BTW, you are going to love your experience with Drs Aceves and Campos. Good luck to you!smile.gif

Despite what I've been told one member of the group coming back did NOT have a passport and merely had a copy of their certified state stamped birth certificate, their drivers license and a winning smile. It took maybe 5 minutes extra to pass him but we made it through. Better safe than sorry though.

How did you do yours? I did mine expedite and I got mine in a week or so. Really fast. I believe you will have yours well in advance, not to worry.

Mine, I did expedited in Boone, NC at the licence plate bureau. I bit the bullet and payed $170. I was in Boone for a watercolor workshop anyway, and they opened at 8 am, no appointment necessary. I went the same afternoon to the post office in Statesville to get my husband's as he had an appointment and had every intention of getting his expedited as well, but they wanted an additional $40 in shipping, beyond the extra $60 for expedited. I know it sounds silly, but I just felt like they were ripping me off and I couldn't bring myself to pay it. I even argued with her, but she said we had to pay the extra shipping if we wanted it expedited. I wish he had just gone with me to Boone.

You do not need a passport unless you are flying into country. A certified birth certificate and a drivers license is sufficient. Done it twice in the last 2 months.

Oh good. Hubby has that. Mine showed as "processing" today, so I feel like mine will be here in time.

Thanks Sue!

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
