Booked the surgery date: March 8th

Just went to the post office and bought my passport card- it should arrive in 6 weeks or so. I sure hope so because that's going to be cutting it close. Lol

Now all that's left to do is get the plane tickets and I'm all set! I just hope my income tax is enough to pay a big portion of this surgery, if not, I will have to take out a loan and I hope that I would get approved. If it comes to that, and I don't get approved, I will have to postpone the surgery.

How are all the other February/March sleevers coming along? Have you booked your flights and passport yet?

My passport took 2.5 weeks. They tell me that if it's not just before summer when folks go on vacation that they are slower and it doesn't take as long. So you should get it. Good luck!

Very exciting! As I await my Passport card for my February 4 surgery, I can't help feeling like I did shortly before I graduated from high school. Not really sure what the future holds, but I have a feeling it will be cool beyond anything I could imagine!

This is OUR YEAR!

Hi Jesser..I'm Feb. 18th...already have my passport card, supplements, and some liquids and proteins stocked up. Waiting on my flight tickets as I have to wait for my tax refund to pay part of my fee as well. Don't want to get tickets now then worry about getting dates changed. I hope this doesn't bite me in the a#$ and my tickets end up being outrageous. First time dealing with it so I just don't know

Jesser, what doctor are you going through? Im doing pretty much the same as you and hoping my refund is enough to cover it all

Same here... I would like to go ahead and get the plane tickets, but I have no clue how much my income tax return is going to be. I'm just hoping its close to the amount that I need!!

I hear you about the money I'm saving everything I've got and my mom is loaning me some money to cover it all. I'm nervous about the passports, I haven't been able to get the photo done let alone get the application turned in. I'm having surgery march 4th, need to get my passport!

I have some chicken broth and Protein shake mixed stocked up, I do have a shopping lust put together but going to wait until feb to go shopping for more.

I'm super excited and can't wait to have it do and be back home healing and losing it's all I think about. I keep planning things I wanna do once I've lost weight

I'm doing the same things! Lol it's still hard for me to envision being thin because I've been overweight for so long. Sometimes it gets overwhelming to me in a way. I will look for you in Mx!!

Are you staying an extra night in SD before flying home?

Amanda Rae

No, I don't think so. If I go alone, I wanna just go there and come straight back. If my Dad goes with me, he may suggest staying and site seeing. But I wouldn't do it alone. Lol

We're staying an extra night in SD. It's a long flight and I want another day to chill and walk.

Amanda Rae

I'm spending 2 extra days in San Diego just to be safe. If I'm feeling up to it want to check out sea world and the zoo. Only time will tell. Hope you get your passport in time and all your financing in place. Good luck. I week to go for me.

If y'all get a chance you should site see in Dan Diego. It's beautiful my favorite is the gas lamp quarter and the zoo(although I don't know that I'd brave the zoo after surgery. It has some killer hills. Last time I went I was 40lb lighter and it killed me. I'd definitely suggest renting an ecv

Yeah if I go I would be renting a scooter to be safe
