Boston Mass and would love to find an actual physical support group. That would be cool. I'm sure my hospital and group will turn me on to some resources.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I just read through 30 pages of comments and not one other Okie!

So ya'll, I'm from the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. Anyone on here from the area?

@@sleevydreams Where are you having surgery? I'm having mine at Bailey Medical because it's close to home and has a pretty great reputation. I'm actually in Owasso, a little rural but we love it!

Well, I'm still in the research phase, but pretty certain I will go to Tijuana, MX to dr. verboonen. Several people from around here have been to him in either tijuana or Cancun & have had great success & have had nothing but great reviews of his staff & facilities. My insurance covers no part of anything weight loss related so I'll have to pay out of pocket. The price they charge includes everything but the airfare so it's a more "do-able" option for me. Oh btw, I lived in owasso for part of my 5th grade year. It is a very nice place. :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
