Heey good to see you as well;) ok so I can cross over with my bc..good to know all I want is to get this done and hopefully with no problems!

Hi there! I was sleeved this past June in tj by dr Kelly. When your coming back and forth across the border your in a company van and cecey his wife/nurse/driver has some sort of medical pass. Several of us only had birth certificate and license and one gal only license. Nobody batted an eye, it was very easy and uneventful. But... That was with dr Kelly's crew. I imagine the other prominent surgeons operate the same way? Anyways, I wish you a safe trip and speedy recovery!!!

You can also just get a passport card, it cost me $30 for a new one instead of the $110 for a passport book, it's only good for land and sea but a huge savings if you don't plan on flying internationally soon.

I will be going alone but am lucky enough to find a sleeve sister who is having surgery the same day so that helped ALOT. I feel better knowing someone is there to hold my hand or hold me down if I get the jitters. I'm ready, I'm ready, just a little nervous.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
