I'm hoping to get April 20th as well with Dr. Perez! Or verboonen, Haven't made the final decision yet :( Can I ask who you booked through? I was dealing with Ronda from alighterme, but she is trying her darnedest to deter me from Cancun. I started talking to Sheri from International Patient Facilitators.

Carina,

Thank you for your post on my blog---I responded to it, but I did it as a comment instead of a reply, so I didn't think it would notify you.....so I am reposting here!

So funny that we have so many things in common! I would love to keep in contact with you and share our experience. Let me know when and if you end up scheduling for Cancun! Where will you be coming from?

I have the appointment scheduled with Dr. Perez as of a few hours ago for the 20th as well. Looks like we'll be sleeve buddies :) I will be coming from Orlando, although I haven't found a non-stop flight yet. That's my weekend assignment - book the flight! I can't wait! And I'm even more excited now that I have a name and face of someone who is just as crazy and determined to be the knockout that is hidden beneath these pounds! My birthday is the 30th so I got an extra 2 weeks to lose a few more pounds ;)

That's awesome! Congratulations on getting scheduled! It's REAL now, isn't it? Let's definitely keep in contact, and I will plan to meet up with you in Cancun! Are you planning on bringing someone with you? My husband will be coming with me, and having surgery as well. (his 40th is Nov. 21! LOL!) We got our flights scheduled this week...no directs from Indiana :( Do you have kids? I have a 12, 14, and 17 year old......which makes me so scared of something going wrong, but I am still trying to focus on the good that will come from this WHEN it all works out! We are gonna ROCK our 40th birthdays aren't we?!? I'm starting to make my packing list......can't wait!

I am bringing my mother and my 17 year old son. So I definitely understand your worry about kids. I'm all he has and whether he would ever admit it or not, he'd be lost without me. He wanted to come and I was apprehensive because I tend to be a "worst case scenario" planner. Thankfully my mom agreed to come along as well.

Enough sappy sadness... you are so right... We ARE gonna rock this next birthday!!! So funny that your hubby is between our birthdays! I am loving this trip already!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
