So, I have to admit that my favorite VST posts are those with pics. And, in hopes of getting a fence-sitter to come on over to the pro-surgery side, here are my 3 month post op pics! I had surgery on Oct. 13, 2012 with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico. Weighed in at 238.8 and am now 188 as of today. And couldn't be happier with the results so far:):) Yay, sleeve!!!!

Hey..were you nervous to travel with your money for the surgery??

Not at all! I used a cashier's check and carried it in my carry-on (didn't check baggage). I promise that you will feel slightly embarrassed for any anxiety you feel after the fact. I've never been treated with more respect or sincerity. My Mom is an ER nurse and was quite nervous. She came with me and was truly amazed at the care and the kindness of everyone we came across. She sings their praises now..haha.

Lol! I have never even been to an airport! That is def. A bit intimidating for me. I thinking what if i get lost?? Miss my flight??
