Still going through the insurance process. The plan is Sept. but depends on insurance approval. I totally understand going to Mexico. My hubby doesn't know it yet, but if the insurance denies me I will be going to MX also. Have it all researched out. And planned. One way or the other I will be sleeved before the end of this year. Good luck to you. Keep me updated. Being so close to each other we should stay in touch.

Definitely!

I'm in Gulfport, and scheduled for July 8 in Mexico with Dr. Rodriguez. I'll mention that I'm a RN and one of my doctor friends recommended Dr. Rodriguez. I've done my due diligence and feel 100% comfortable with my choice. I'll be having gastric sleeve & currently I'm on my 2week pre-op diet.

Good luck to everyone! I'll not too far from y'all! I'm in Lacombe, LA (Slidell area).

It's crazy that you're a nurse, I'm a nurse as well and I'm pretty sure that sunmoonstars is a nurse as well lol. I'm taking a more private road(I'm not sharing with work colleagues). July 8th is right around the corner! I wish my day was sooner but it'll be here before I know it. Are u going to mx alone? How's the preop diet going? Ill start mine in July 19th.

Jc,

That's funny... I guess we'll all be in the same club: skinny-sleever RNs:) In response to your above questions- My husband is traveling w/ me to Mexico. As far as the pre-op diet, I'm only on day 2 of 14 days... It's tough, but do-able! I'm basically doing Adkins: High protein/Low carb. I just try to stay distracted and keep my eye on the prize:)

???? Welcome to the skinny sleever RN club. (That is if you chose the sleeve.) ☺

Yes I am getting sleeved but y'all will be ahead of me. My date isn't until September. Seems like so far away still. I am so ready to get this done and over with and begin my new HAPPY_HEALTHY_TERRIFIC life!!! Glad to see there are others in the area....we should keep in touch and support each other through this.....

It will be here before you know it! And just think about it, you can learn from all our mistakes:) I'm only telling my closest people about this; so, I'm glad I ran across this board for support. Definitely, let's support each other... especially since we are both on the Coast and both RNs:) My birthday is 7/7 & my surgery is 7/8... This is my Bday present to myself (the gift of Health and a better quality of life for me and my family) Keep in touch!!! - Brenda
