how long did it take everyone to get their passport/ passport card? Also, did you have it expedited? I'm ready to schedule with Dr. Alvarez, but not sure about how long it really takes to get this document.

Jenni,

I just got my passport last year for the first time and it took about four weeks. I did not pay the extra $$$ to expedite mine. I went to Walgreen's for my photo and to the post office to pay the money and have them send it off for processing. At my post office they only process them up until a certain time on Saturdays and if your name is not on the list then you have to come back a different day. You might check to find out the times they do this. The payment had to be in a cash or money order. No plastic. I don't think they take checks either, but don't remember for sure.

This site http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html will give you a lot of info on prices and processing times.

Good luck and happy travels.

Thanks everyone! I am probably going to expedite, just because I don't want to keep waiting.

I hope mine comes that fast. I also did passport card and expedited it. I believe I applied Aug 21 ...whichever day Wednesday was. Anyhow that was exactly 3 weeks from scheduled flight.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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
