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.

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.

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:)

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
