Hello all!

Anyone out there have a date for July yet? I am scheduled for July 3rd in Tijuana, Mexico with Dr. Almanza. If I could go tomorrow, I would. So excited to get on this journey! We can do this!

I have a tentative date for first week in July for Dr. Jacobo Zafrani in Costa Rica. As soon as I get my passport in I will have a date set in stone! Can't Wait!!! Good luck to all!

Yea robin... I know...still need to get my passport, as well. Yikes! Congrats on the date - we will be there before we know it!

Anyone else finding that the time just won't go FAST enough until July? How are you all preparing?

Hi Smoggy,

I know. The only thing keeping me sane is the fact that I have been so busy at work. I have cut out 98% of the sodas I was drinking - yay! - I was addicted to that stuff. Other than that, I have been trying to get out and walk for about 30 minutes a few times a week. Also wanting to cut back on carbs - addicted to those, too - but that sure has been hard. I will get more serious about it as it gets closer so my body won't be in as much shock when the time comes. Lastly, I have been on a Vitamin regimen for a couple of months. I guess I am most concerned with the hair loss, so I started Biotin along with my multi vitamin every day. I will begin taking the recommended zinc, Iron, and Calcium soon, as well.

Keep in touch! Hopefully July will be here before we know it!!!!

Got my passport photo today. Maybe it's the last fat pic I will have to take????

I dare you to take a really frank "just before op" pic!

I'll bet you'll thank me when you are svelte and have a comparison photo that's hard to beat!

Oh, I will get a good preop pic. Not sure that anyone will see it until I lose some weight. Not fond of pics at all!!!

Hey folks! I am scheduled for July 9 with Dr. Almanza. I can hardly wait. I think I am gonna do like you and start altering my behavior now. I am a revision from a lap band.

Why does it seem like everyone on here is going to Mexico for the surg. I just don't get it

I'm not!

I am surmising that for some people, especially those who are who are self-pay, Mexico is way cheaper and many of the most reputable surgeons there have a huge amount of sleeve experience so the combination of these two factors makes it attractive.

Just a supposition.
