Hi Jazzyr! My name is Misty and I live in the Houston area. Cypress to be exact. I am getting sleeved on March 23 in Tijuana. My insurance does not cover weight loss surgery at all so I am self pay. I really don't think it matters though because I think after the co-pays and deductible I will come out cheaper anyway. I would love to talk to someone in Houston. You can private message me or you can text me at 903-746-4839.

Oh you are so LUCKY!! Just a couple more days!! Who is your Doctor in Tijuana? Are you going alone? Are you nervous about flying? I have only flown once before and I was about 240 then so I am so worried I won't fit in the seats. I have read about people having that problem and I would be mortified!!

Dr. Garcia. Nope I am not nervous and my mother is accompanying me. I fly quite frequently so I am not afraid. I weigh more than that and am able to fit in the sits... I never book a middle seat though. It's a tight fitting but if the seat belt doesn't fit, you can ask for an extension. Do it as you board the plane or once you sit down.

      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?

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! 😞
