You can get back over with your birth certificate. A passport does remove the potential for hassle. BTW good to see you here.

I don't think you can get back over with a birth certificate anymore. I believe things changed about two years ago...

They can't ultimately deny a citizen entry if you can prove your citizenship BUT they can make it difficult and can detain you up to 72 hours.

I went to TJ alone and was fine!! I didn't have problems with my sleeve or recovery though. I found for the most I was bored being alone. I found another patient going at the same time so I did spend time with her and her husband which helped too.

Nope, go to Walgreens and get a pic, take it to the post office, fill out form, pay fee & hand over birth certificate. Then wait 4-6 weeks.

Also call to make sure which post office handles it. Not all of them do. Plus for a bit more most post offices can do your pic also.

They do have an expedited service, I forget the fee though.

      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?
