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!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
