Hi all,

My name is Marlynn and I am 28 yrs and going to be banded in Monterrey, Mexico on June 7th!!! I am SO excited...I get to break free from the fat shell I've been bonded to most my life! I sent off all of my passport information yesterday, making travel arrangements today, and paying full balance in 3 more days! Luckily I have a husband who would do most anything for me, and has given me the money to do this without having to finance anything...thank God. Otherwise, I'd be waiting for school loans to be paid off. Anyway, congratulations to all that have had this procedure, and good luck to the ones going to have it done! I look forward to hearing from some of you.

Congratz Marlynn! Come join us in the "General" forum, under "June 2007"

Sure hope your pass port makes it on time!!

I had it expedited, and they told me it should only take 3 weeks which would put it here by May 29th or 30th. Pray it gets here by then....it would just kill me to have to put this off.

You should be fine then! I was concerned that you sumbitted via "snail mail". I understand that pass ports are taking up to 12 weeks to receive via regular processing, due to the new pass port requirements. Good thinking to have it rushed!!

hey, how did you get your tickers on there?

I have mine made out, but can't figure out how to get them here.

Congratulations!!!That is great....good luck and I pray that all goes well for you....let us know how you are doing....

Thanks! I will be glad to keep you informed...the support from here has been wonderful!

I am getting banded in Montery, MX. That is such a great idea to rush the passport. I am working on my application now. Which doctor are you using? I think I will be banded towards the end of June. Good Luck-

my doctor is Dr. Zapata
